2022 Indy Lights Rookie of the Year Hunter McElrea is my latest guest on '10 Questions to a Racing Driver'! The 22 year old California born New Zealander took the time to speak with me a few weeks back.
In 2023 Hunter raced in the Indy Lights series for the renowned Andretti Autosport team, finishing 4th overall, with two wins, three pole positions and seven podiums to his name, and securing a place on the grid with Andretti for 2023, following on from two very good seasons in the IndyPro 2000 series the two previous years.
