Young superstar Theo Pourcha𝓀ire made the switch from the Formula One paddock to the Indy🦹Car paddock for this weekend.

Before the weekend of racing had started Pourchaire had not driven 🦂the Long Beach street circuit. However, the French driver left the circuit with his head held hiღgh.

The 20-year-old got the opportunity to replace Callum Ilott this weekend in the #6 Arrow McLaren. The reigning Formula Two Champion qualified in 22nd place, but once the l꧒ights went out his racing talent showed.

Pourchaire made up 1🦋1 places in his first-ever IndyCar race and crossed the finish line in 11th place. Something that many fans and drivers ha꧒ve been impressed by.

After the race, Pourchaire was ecstatic with how his rookie wee🅷kend of IndyCar racing went:

"It's an amazing result,” Pourchaire said. “People sometimes forget that I'm only 20 years old. I'm lucky that in the last six mont🌃hs, I was able to drive a Formula 2, a Formula One car, a Super Formula and now an Indy car, the best single-seaters in the world.”

It seems clear that Pourchaire is not only impressed with himself but with IndyCar as a whole, and if the opportunity comes again it looks like hಌe would be keen to return to the American series.

“I can tell you INDYCAR is amazing. I'm so happy. In my first race, it's crazy when ✱I think about it. I'm a competitor in the first place, and we all want to win. But look at the guys in this field, the experience, they're really good. So I'm happy."
