Welcome to the IndyCar Series, Caio Collet.
The Brazilian joins AJ Foyt Racing as teammate to Santino Ferrucci after placing third on his Indy NXT debut in 2024, and improving to second last season with HMD Motorsports.
The 23-year-old arrived in the U.S. after spending seven seasons training across a range of European open-wheel series and won four NXT races along with 15 podiums from 28 tries.
Thanks to his early start and the considerable amount of mileage he covered while training in Europe, Collet used his two years in NXT as a finishing school to learn the tracks and oval racing ahead making the jump to IndyCar. He has a tough act to follow after David Malukas used his performances in the car to place 11th in the championship – the best result to date with Foyt’s second car – and solidify his position with Team Penske for 2026.
