The Spaniard was proclaimed champion of the IndyCar for the second time in 2023 and continues to look for challenges in motorsports away from the ‘Great Circus’. And the latest you sign up for couldn’t be more difficult. And Palou, after being at the 24 hours of Daytona in January, It will debut at the 24h of Le Mans with Cadillac.

The Hypercar category in the WEC is increasingly crowded. There are some brands that are among the best, but for It will be Cadillac’s second chance to compete for the overall victory in this great event. In 2023 they may not be in the top positions but in this second campaign, which will start on March 2 in Qatar, the Americans want to make a qualitative leap.
The Indianapolis 500, your another great challenge
Palou has the power to win the 24 hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500 in less than a month apart. On May 26, the legendary race will take place on the oval while on June 15, the legendary endurance race will begin on French territory.
Only once in history has a driver achieved glory in both events in the same year. This is AJ Foyt, who achieved success in 1967. It is true that with Last year’s Chip Ganassi came close to Palou’s 500 mile victory and you can think that he is on the shortlist again.
