Chadwick moves to Indy NXT for 2023 with Andretti
Indy NXTPosted on
1st December 2022, 15:11 | Written by Ida Wood

Three-times W Series champion Jamie Chadwick will make the next step in
her car racing career in 2023 by stepping up into Indy Nxt with Andretti
Autosport.

The championship, previously known as Indy Lights, is IndyCar’s primary
feeder series and supports it at 11 events on street circuits, road
courses and ovals.

Chadwick, currently a junior driver of the Williams Formula 1 team, has
never raced single-seaters at a level higher than Formula Regional,
meaning she will be skipping Formula 3 in her move up to the secondary
tier of open-wheel racing.

“I’m really happy to be stepping up into Indy NXT next year,” said
Chadwick. “It’s a great opportunity for me to be able to get a lot of
seat time and continue my development.

“Racing for a team like Andretti is going to be an amazing experience
and I’m really looking forward to racing in the United States. A massive
thank you to Williams for the support they’ve given me on my journey
since joining the academy in 2019.

Chadwick started her car racing career in sportscars, racing in Ginetta
Junior and becoming British GT4 champion.

She moved into single-seaters via BRDC British F3, winning one race in
two seasons, then won the MRF Challenge series at the start of 2019.

W Series was created that year and Chadwick won the inaugural title in
the series for Formula Regional chassis, before repeating the feat in
2021 and ’22.

She also raced in the FIA’s Asian and European championships for Formula
Regional cars, making the podium five times across the two series, and
last year ventured into off-road racing in Extreme E.

“Andretti Autosport is proud to be supporting Jamie alongside DHL for
the 2023 Indy NXT season,” said the team’s CEO Michael Andretti.

“Jamie’s successful career speaks for itself, but the Indy NXT series
gives Jamie the opportunity to continue her development in a new type of
racing.

“We’ve turned out five Indy NXT champions over the years and look
forward to continuing our role in developing new talent.

This is great news! It will be a great challenge for Jamie, and it will
be quite popular having a female competing in IndyCar NXT!

I wish her the best. It would be great to see Jamie in IndyCar, she’s
one of the best lady drivers in the world for sure.

Would be nice to get Katherine Legge in to mentor her.

I really hope she can break through and prove herself in the field.

Good for her, it’s time to show whether she’s the real deal. It’s the
first time she gets a very strong team in a strong category. There are
no excuses here and I wish her the absolute best. She’s the only woman I
believe has potential to make an impact

I hope she does well. That would raise the credibility of the W Series.

Absolutely impossible.

According to Ms Chadwick, high-end open wheel cars cannot possibly be
made to work for women.

Nope, you looked up some basic statistics and then made some

Unless you want to claim that Jamie Chadwick and Yuki Tsunoda allowed
you to take your measuring tape to them.

So you're suggesting that Tsunoda is in some way freakish in his
proportions, are you?

Because Chadwick's "thoughts" on this implicitly discuss people of
ordinary proportions—at least the women in question.

So you must be suggesting that despite being the same height as Chadwick
(who apparently could think it through that bespoke F1 steering wheels
could be made with any rim thickness the driver prefers) and despite the
fact (yes: FACT) that typical men of that height have smaller hands than
typical women of that height, somehow the only way that Tsunoda could be
comfortable in an F1 car is if he has freakishly large hands for his size...

...and apparently freakishly long legs and feet to match up with
Chadwick's other "thoughts" on this topic.

So you really think that 0.13" is going to be a problem?

The tallest F1 drivers this year were Alex Albon, George Russsell,
Estaban Ocon, and Nicolas Latifi, all at 6'1" tall. That's somewhere
between the 90th and 95th percentiles for height. So for a rough
approximation, their hip measurements would be in that area too:

That's something greater than 14.5" and 14.82"

And somehow, they manage to fit those hips into an F1 cockpit.

And those numbers are above the 98th percentile for women.

I'm quite happy with Jamie Chadwick's explanation. You love talking
about your own experience racing at lower levels and how much insight
it gives you when racing incidents occur. Jamie Chadwick is a woman,
you are not. She has been development driver for Williams so has
obviously has experience driving F1 cars. How many FI cars have YOU
driven; how many times have you even sat inside one? Or does
experience only count when it comes to yourself.

That's wrong . It is a polate that you don't really need as you already
have one. But you never know - it may come in handy one day ...

The championship, previously known as Indy Lights, is IndyCar’s
primary feeder series and supports it at 11 events on street circuits,
road courses and ovals.
For anyone interested in what the Indy Lights Series was like in 2022:

go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Indy_Lights

Andretti Autosport is definitely a very good team to go with,
having the 2nd and 3rd best driver's finishing positions in 2022.
Also Andretti Autosport was the team Danica Patrick got her Indycar win
with, in 2008, the year before she chose to leave open wheel racing.

I think Chadwick will get a pretty fair shake there.
It will be up to her to deliver the best results she can.
