Herta wants Indy 500 and IMSA races in 2027, schedule permitting

Colton Herta would like to race in the Indianapolis 500 and IMSA endurance events in 2027, but his programme is not yet settled as he focuses on earning the FIA Super Licence required for Formula 1.

The Cadillac Formula 1 test driver is in his debut Formula 2 season with Hitech. Herta says he would not turn down another Indy 500 start if his schedule permits. He had been due to drive a fourth Andretti Global entry at the 2026 Indy 500, but the FIA’s late addition of a Formula 2 round in Montreal alongside the Canadian Grand Prix created a clash. The round replaced cancelled events in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Herta also wants to do as many as possible of three endurance races: the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans. He is already part of Wayne Taylor Racing’s #40 Cadillac endurance line-up and recently finished on the Petit Le Mans podium. How much he can take on in 2027 depends on his other commitments; Herta says he does not yet know what next year will look like.
