At the 109th running of the legendary Indy 500, rookie Robert Shwartzman achieved a remarkable feat: in his very first appearance at this iconic race, he sensationally secured pole position. It was one of the most impressive qualifying runs in decades – a milestone for the PREMA Racing team.
IDRA GROUP, official sponsor of the Italian racing team, expressed its excitement about the achievement. The success of Shwartzman and his teammate Callum Ilott is not only a sporting highlight, but also a testament to shared values: talent, teamwork, and technological excellence – principles that are as vital on the racetrack as they are in the industrial world.
John Stokes, General Manager of IDRA GROUP, congratulated the team and highlighted the importance of the moment in an official statement:
Robert’s performance ranks among the finest in the last 40 years. Next year, IDRA GROUP will celebrate its 80th anniversary – and this result shows what can be achieved when high performance meets true team spirit. We are proud to be an Italian company writing history alongside PREMA Racing.
PREMA Racing will line up with both cars at the 109th Indy 500 – a powerful statement for Italian motorsport and its partners.
