F2 title contender Alex Dunne tests IndyCar in Alabama amid 2027 US move

Alex Dunne, currently fighting for the Formula 2 championship, has completed an IndyCar test at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. The Irish driver is evaluating a potential switch to the American open-wheel series for 2027. Dunne, who has impressed in the FIA Formula 2 feeder series, used the test to gauge the differences between European and American single-seaters. The move could align with a broader trend of young drivers exploring opportunities in IndyCar, which offers competitive racing and a clearer path to a top seat. While Dunne remains focused on his F2 title bid, the Alabama test signals serious interest in the US-based championship. For IndyCar, attracting a high-profile F2 talent would boost its international profile. Dunne's decision may hinge on his F2 results and available IndyCar seats. Watch for further tests or announcements as the 2026 silly season approaches.
