2023 IndyCar standings and calendar

11th September 2023
Ben Miles

Alex Palou is the 2023 IndyCar champion. He rounded off a hugely impressive season with an imperious drive to victory at Portland as he saw off the late surge of Scott Dixon to claim his second title.

Earlier in the season, Josef Newgarden finally broke his duck to win the 107th running of the Indy 500 and won twice more in Iowa, but even that was not enough for him to maintain pace at the top of the standings, as he fell out of the title fight at Bommarito.

There are 17 races scheduled for the 2023 IndyCar season, with the final round taking place at the Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey in September.

IndyCar releases full 2023 calendar

Updated: 27th September 2022 at 17:45. IndyCar has announced its delayed 2023 calendar, featuring 17 races on 15 circuits across North America.

The schedule is very similar to the 2022 one, with the only major shift seeing the second race on the Indianapolis GP circuit moving from a slot in July to August. The other notable change from 2022 is that there are clashes with neither the Sebring 12 hours or the Le Mans 24 Hours – allowing IndyCar drivers to potentially run at those events.

There are five oval races (Texas, Indianapolis, Gateway and two at Iowa) and thirteen road courses including a return to downtown Detroit. The Motor City round of the championship had been held on a course on Belle Isle for several seasons, but moves back into the centre of the city for 2023.

The season will open, as usual, at St. Petersburg on 5th March before moving to Texas for a single oval race on 2nd April. Races then continue steadily through Long Beach (16th April), Barber motorsports park (30th April), the Indianapolis GP circuit (14th May) and then the Indy 500 on 28th May.

Detroint comes just a week after the 500, on 4th June, before Road America on 18th June, Mid-Ohio on 2nd July, Toronto (16th July) and two races at Iowa on the 22nd and 23rd July. It remains a pretty intense calendar for the rest of the season, with Nashville, a return to Indianapolis, Gateway, Portland and Laguna Seca all fitting between 6th August and 10th September.
