Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has announced Jordan King will make his debut at the Brickyard for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2019.

King made his IndyCar debut with Ed Carpenter Racing in the #20 entry for 2018, running the road and street courses, after moving across from Formula 2,

The ex-Manor F1 tester scored a best result of 11th in Toronto.

King has not yet secured a full-time 2019 seat after Ed Jones secured the road/street course ECR seat, moving across from Chip Ganassi Racing.

"I’m really happy and excited to announce that I’ll be driving in the 2019 Indy 500 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing," said King.

"This race is one that I have been working towards and a race I have always dreamt of racing in as it’s the jewel in the crown of IndyCar.

"I was at the race last year and I really enjoyed the whole weekend and knew straight away it was something that I had to be a part of so to be able to go there next year is definitely a huge moment in my career."

"Heading into next year, we went from not being able to find a full-time drive for the season through to securing a seat at one of the biggest races in the world which is a huge relief to be able to get sorted.

"A huge thanks to RLL for the opportunity and I hope I can repay their faith in me with a good result. The race will be my first-ever on a superspeedway so it should be an exciting experience every time I get behind the wheel.

"The aim for the 500 is to prove myself as an oval racer.  I already competed in the road and street courses this year so now I’ll be looking to impress and expand my CV to push towards a full-time drive."

"Jordan certainly impressed me last year with his pace at a number of races," added Rahal, co-owner of RLL. 

"Of course those were all road and street courses but he quickly came to grips with the Dallara and it was apparent that he has the potential to do well.

"While this will be his first oval race, I think that given the amount of track time, he will get up to speed and come to grips with the challenges of oval racing just as quickly.

"Of course it always helps to have two strong teammates and a strong team behind you to shorten the learning curve and we feel we provide that. We look forward to welcoming him to the team."

Having never competed on an oval before, the British driver will have to complete the rookie orientation program ahead of the famous event.

The ROP ensures the drivers can complete 10 laps between 205 and 210mph for Phase 1, 15 laps between 210 and 215mph for Phase 2, and 15 laps at 215mph-plus.
