Spanish engineering expertise and IndyCar champion Alex Palou have played pivotal roles in efforts to bring the American open-wheel series to Barcelona, according to a report published Thursday.
The two-time IndyCar series champion, a native of Catalonia, has been a leading advocate for a race in his home region. His involvement, combined with local engineering capabilities, has advanced discussions for a potential street circuit event in the city.
Details regarding a specific date, circuit layout, or contractual agreements were not disclosed in the initial report. IndyCar has previously explored international expansion beyond its traditional North American calendar.
