IndyCar Race on the Brink of Showcasing Its Most Aesthetic Event Yet?
This weekend, the NTT IndyCar Series is set to deliver a visual spectacle at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, with several teams showcasing **stunning and notable liveries** that have left fans in awe. Among the standout designs are those from Meyer Shank Racing, Andretti Global, and Chip Ganassi Racing.
**Meyer Shank Racing (MSR)** has caught the attention of many with **Felix Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Honda**. The car sports a striking homage to **Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath**, a fitting tribute given that the band is playing their final shows in their hometown Birmingham, England. This livery has been praised as potentially the best of the weekend and a season highlight for design[1].
**Andretti Global** has also contributed to the visual feast with **Kyle Kirkwood’s No. 27 Honda**. The car boasts a special **Honda-themed livery** that celebrates Honda’s manufacturing presence near Mid-Ohio, including the Marysville and East Liberty auto plants and R&D facilities. The design honours Honda’s range of products from automobiles to the HondaJet, and celebrates the NTT IndyCar Series’ one-year milestone of hybrid power units introduced at Mid-Ohio last year[1][3].
**Chip Ganassi Racing** has a **PNC Bank livery** on Scott Dixon’s No. 9 car, a design that has been revealed earlier in the season. Although details on whether it is further customized for Mid-Ohio were not specified, it remains a notable sponsorship livery for the team[2].
These liveries represent a blend of cultural tribute, manufacturer pride, and corporate sponsorship, contributing to what many expect to be one of the best-looking IndyCar races visually in recent memory[1].
In addition to these, **Alex Palou’s No. 10 Honda for Chip Ganassi Racing** sports a minimalist and stylish **“None More Black” livery**, brought to us by OpenAI. Despite the prevalence of dark liveries in motorsports today, Palou’s all-black design is still considered clean and sophisticated.
It's worth noting that **Marcus Ericsson's No. 28 Honda pays tribute to IndyCar partner Fox Sports**, and the livery is reportedly eye-catching and easy to spot. However, it has not been mentioned as a favourite among some, unlike Meyer Shank Racing’s livery on Felix Rosenqvist’s car.
As the IndyCar Series continues to push the boundaries of design, these liveries at Mid-Ohio serve as a testament to the creativity and innovation that teams bring to the track. The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio will air on Fox on Sunday, July 6, at 1 pm ET, providing fans with a visually stunning race to look forward to.
