KATHERINE LEGGE Has Full Funding & Honda Engines But No IndyCar Chassis

March 27, 2025

• KATHERINE LEGGE has assembled everything needed for her fifth Indy 500 start – millions in sponsorship, a complete crew, and Honda engine support – except the one thing she actually needs to race: a Dallara DW12 chassis. Despite having a fully-funded operation ready to go, not one IndyCar team has agreed to lease her a spare car.
• The British veteran showed solid pace with Dale Coyne Racing last year before her engine expired, proving she belongs on the grid. Her recent NASCAR Cup outing didn’t go well, but let’s be honest – we’re not judging her IndyCar credentials based on a stock car experiment gone wrong.
• This chassis hunt highlights the bizarre reality of modern IndyCar economics, where a driver can secure major backing and manufacturer support but still get locked out because teams won’t share their hardware. Someone really needs to dust off a DW12 and make this happen before May rolls around.
