IndyCar unveils its first new car since 2012 with the debut of the IR-28. The series introduces the vehicle through a video featuring Hollywood actor Matt Damon, who helps present the new car. Both outlets report that IndyCar has not brought a new car to the series in several years and frames the IR-28 as a key update for the championship. According to the reports, the IR-28 is built with the goal of improving performance and breaking track records. The coverage notes that the unveiling is tied to a promotional video rather than an on-site launch, with Damon serving as the public-facing figure for the reveal. Beyond the introduction format and Damon’s involvement, both sources emphasize the same central points: the IR-28 is IndyCar’s first new car since 2012 and it is intended to deliver faster results on track. The reported objective is record-setting performance as IndyCar moves forward with the new model.
