• SOPHIA FLORSCH joins HMD Motorsports for her first Indy NXT season, bringing impressive credentials from Formula 3, DTM, and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The 24-year-old Alpine Academy member has podium finishes in ADAC Formula 4 and ELMS, plus the distinction of being the youngest race winner in the Ginette Junior Championship – exactly the kind of proven talent that elevates the entire field.
• HAILIE DEEGAN makes the leap from NASCAR to open-wheel racing with HMD Motorsports, marking her first foray into IndyCar’s developmental ladder. After parting ways with AM Racing mid-season in NASCAR Xfinity, the 23-year-old’s transition represents a bold career pivot that could showcase her adaptability across completely different racing disciplines.
• HMD Motorsports emerges as the team to watch with an ambitious roster that includes both women drivers plus returning talent like Caio Collet, who delivered one win and six podiums last season. The team’s commitment to developing diverse talent while maintaining competitive performance sets them apart in a series where opportunity and results must go hand in hand.
