IndyCar News: New multi-year agreement for Foster with RLL team
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) announced today it has extended its existing multi-year agreement with NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Louis Foster, 22, in a new multi-year agreement that will see the British driver at the team for the foreseeable future. Foster followed up his 2024 INDY NXT by Firestone title with that of 2025 INDYCAR Rookie of the Year.
In addition, RLL recently announced a long-term, multi-year extension of its partnership with Droplight, a full-throttle venture studio, for title sponsorship of the No. 45 entry. Foster’s strong performance, coupled with the formidable commitment from Droplight enabled the team to solidify a long-term commitment with the rising star.
In 2025, Foster delivered a breakout season, earning two top-three starts – including his first career pole at Road America – and scoring an 11th place finish at both the Indianapolis 500 and Road America. With six top-10 starts and having led the race three separate times in 2025, he now looks to build on the momentum and experience gained throughout a strong campaign.
In 2024, Foster won a series-high eight of the 14 races in the INDY NXT Championship for Andretti Global. He led the series in wins (8), poles (7), podiums (12), laps led (362/640) and completed every lap of competition to beat Abel Motorsports’ Jacob Abel to the title by 122 points. His previous title came in the 2022 Indy Pro 2000 Series, where he won seven races en route to being named the champion in the season finale.
The 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season begins with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 1. The 17-race schedule includes new venues in Arlington, Texas and Markham, Ontario, Canada and all races will be broadcast live on FOX.
