Arrow McLaren is ready for IndyCar’s biggest month— —with the official unveiling of the liveries that will adorn its four cars at the 110th Indianapolis 500. Under the slogan "Unfinished Business," the Woking-based team aims to settle the score with the world’s most famous oval, just as the 50th anniversary of Johnny Rutherford’s 1976 victory approaches.

This year’s design breaks with tradition by adopting bold white as the predominant base color, complemented by classic papaya-colored accents. Each car retains the identity of its primary sponsors: Pato O’Ward’s No. 5 features black accents, Nolan Siegel’s No. 6 in blue, Christian Lundgaard’s No. 7 highlights papaya orange, and Ryan Hunter-Reay’s No. 31 stands out in purple.

Tony Kanaan, who now serves as Team Principal, spoke about the team’s mindset for this year’s race: “We have unfinished business at the Indy 500. The new liveries and campaign reflect our drive and passion to reach the top in the world’s greatest race. I can’t wait to see these cars on the track as we continue to push for that long-awaited victory at the Speedway.”

The “Unfinished Business” campaign won’t be limited to the track; Arrow McLaren is planning a brand takeover at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that includes fleets of branded sports cars and influencer activations to accompany its drivers’ assault on the podium. Following the “near-misses” of past seasons, the organization led by Zak Brown is banking on technical stability and a sleek design to claim its fourth Borg-Warner Trophy.

Official activity kicks off this Tuesday with the first practice sessions, leading up to the qualifying sessions on May 16 and 17, and culminating in the main race next Sunday, May 24.
