Chip Ganassi Racing has revealed a new look for Alex Palou’s car for the upcoming IndyCar season.
Palou will be sporting the familiar DHL colors while defending his second championship, but the traditional livery design that has been used for DHL-sponsored cars in the past has been reworked.
The main cockpit and Aeroscreen coloring is the deep red of the company’s logo, with the traditional yellow adorning the wings and sidepods rather than the entire car.
The design of the #10 car is such that it appears to be primarily red from the front, and primarily yellow from the side.
“I couldn’t be more excited with our DHL US livery,” said Palou on social media. “Looks like a perfect car to defend the title.”
DHL is making its sponsorship debut with Chip Ganassi Racing for the 2024 season, as the global shipping company parted ways with Andretti Global at the conclusion of last season.
The partnership with Andretti had been continuous since the 2011 season, and the livery had remained relatively unchanged over the past 12 years.
Many assumed the same design would be present on Alex Palou’s car when it was announced he would be carrying the familiar sponsor, but a new look has been chosen to represent the company as it begins a new partnership with Ganassi.
The new livery will be run for the first time during the opening round of the 2024 IndyCar season, when the field takes to the streets of St. Petersburg.
Romain Grosjean successfully put the DHL colors on pole during the 2023 event, and Palou will look to do the same in just over two weeks’ time.
