Who’s Participating in the 2021 IndyCar?

The 2021 IndyCar Series features a number of big names from the racing domain. Defending champion Scott Dixon will be eyeing a record-equalling seventh title and will lead the pack. Romain Grosjean has also made the switch to IndyCar after spending ten years in Formula 1.

NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson will also be participating in the 2021 IndyCar. Johnson has won a record seven NASCAR Cup Series. Johnson will be driving with Chip Ganassi Racing. Three-time Australian Supercars Championship winner Scott McLaughlin is also set for his first season in IndyCar. He will be racing for Team Penske.

Josef Newgarden and Colton Herta will be the ones to watch, as they aim to take the crown away from Scott Dixon.

How to Watch the IndyCar Series Online From Anywhere?

If you live abroad or happen to be traveling outside the United States, you will need a bit of help to watch the IndyCar Series online because the live TV services and streaming platforms are all geo-blocked. It means that in order to have access to the IndyCar from outside the United States, you will need a VPN. Having a VPN will make it seem as if you are in the US rather than your actual location.

Our recommendation is ExpressVPN, which is a tool that has thousands of servers throughout the world, and it also works with almost every streaming service in the US - unlike most other VPNs. The tool will change your device's IP address and bypass the geo-blockade.
