Andretti Global
Andretti Global is an American motorsports organization with teams competing in the IndyCar Series, Indy NXT, Formula E, and joint entries in IMSA and the Australian Supercars Championship. Starting in 2026, Andretti Global's parent company TWG Motorsports will also operate the Cadillac Formula One Team in collaboration with General Motors.
The team was founded as Forsythe/Green Racing by Gerald Forsythe and Barry Green in 1993, and began competing in the CART Indy Car World Series the following year. Green and his brother Kim took over the team in 1995 and renamed it to Team Green. In 2002, the team was again renamed to Andretti Green Racing after 1991 CART champion Michael Andretti purchased a stake in the team; it began competing in the Indy Racing League in 2003. Andretti acquired full control in 2009 and rebranded the team to Andretti Autosport. The team restructured in September 2023 in pursuit of a Formula One entry and rebranded to Andretti Global, with Dan Towriss becoming a minority owner. In 2024, Andretti sold the team to Los Angeles Dodgers lead owner Mark Walter's TWG Global holding company, with Towriss staying on as co-owner and CEO.
In total, the team has won the Indianapolis 500 six times (1995, 2005, 2007, 2014, 2016, 2017), the CART championship in 1995, and the IndyCar Series championship four times (2004, 2005, 2007, 2012). The team has also won the Indy NXT championship seven times (2008, 2009, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2024, 2025) and the Formula E drivers' championship in 2022–23.
After major problems in CART surfaced, Andretti, who had purchased a majority interest in the team, switched the newly renamed Andretti Green Racing in 2003 to the rival Indy Racing League (now the NTT IndyCar Series). Paul Tracy left the team to stay in the Champ Car World Series, with Tony Kanaan joining Dario Franchitti and Andretti. Andretti retired after the 2003 Indianapolis 500, and Dan Wheldon took his place.
AGR ran four cars since the beginning of 2004, with Bryan Herta behind the wheel of the additional car. At the 2005 Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, AGR had all 4 drivers finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th; Wheldon led home Kanaan, Franchitti, and Herta to round out the top 4. Kanaan and Wheldon won consecutive IndyCar Series Championships in 2004 and 2005, with Wheldon winning the 2005 Indianapolis 500. Andretti referred to the win as his very own, as good as if he had won it as a driver, because of the nuances of car ownership and building his team.[citation needed]
Wheldon's championship was his only one before free agency, and joining Target Chip Ganassi Racing in 2006. He was replaced by Michael's son, Marco Andretti. Michael Andretti came out of retirement to qualify for the 2006 Indianapolis 500 to race with his son. The Andrettis finished second and third in "the 500" with Marco being passed just before the finish by Sam Hornish Jr. in the second-closest finish in race history. From 2001 to 2010, the team had seen at least one of their drivers finish within the top three at the race.
It was announced on July 25, 2006, that Danica Patrick would join the team for the 2007 IndyCar Series season to replace Herta, who was being transferred to AGR's new American Le Mans Series Acura LMP2 effort.
In October 2007, after winning the 2007 Indianapolis 500 and 2007 Indy Racing League championship, Franchitti announced his departure from the team to pursue a full-time career in the NASCAR Sprint Cup with Chip Ganassi Racing. Later that month, Hideki Mutoh was announced as his replacement in the 27 car. Mutoh was the runner-up in the 2007 Indy Pro Series season.
