IMSA squad Scuderia Corse will enter this year’s Indianapolis 500 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, fielding veteran Oriol Servia.
The title-winning IMSA squad, which also claimed GTE-Am victory at Le Mans in 2016, will run the No. 64 car for Servia.
Servia raced for RLLR in 2009, 2014, 2015 and 2017 at the iconic event, though took his best result of fourth while competing in Panther colours in 2012.
Servia will link up with regulars Graham Rahal and last year’s 500 victor Takuma Sato for May’s event, giving the operation a three-car assault on this season’s race at the Brickyard.
“I am very pleased we were able to come to an agreement with Giacomo Mattioli for Scuderia Corsa’s first effort in open wheel racing in the United States,” said RLLR co-owner Bobby Rahal.
“Scuderia Corsa has a very successful track record in sports car racing and Giacomo’s success in the retail automotive marketplace is well known.
“And it goes without saying that we are very pleased to have Oriol back with us for our fifth Indy 500 together.
“He brings a lot of talent to the program and I have no doubt that together with Graham and Takuma we are going to have three very strong entries for the Indy 500.”
