SASKATOON, Saskatchewan – Exclusive Autosport has announced England’s Louis Foster as the team’s first Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires driver for the year.
Foster will enter his rookie season in the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires, hitting the track in the No. 90 Tatuus IP-22. The 18-year-old has competed in numerous British series in recent years, where he has stacked up several wins.
Foster also tested with Exclusive Autosport at the Chris Griffis Memorial Test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October, where he topped the charts in three out of the six sessions. Foster will be partnered with veteran engineer John Hayes, and both look to fight for wins this season after a great showing together at the Griffis test.
“I moved to America in August of last year and I’m delighted to get this opportunity to race here with Exclusive Autosport in Indy Pro 2000 while continuing my studies in LA,” said Foster, who is backed by Copart, a global leader in vehicle remarketing and recycling. “Last year was a massive learning curve for me in Euroformula Open, as it was my first year competing full-time outside the United Kingdom. Now we’ve taken another big step to head to another continent to live and race. I’m really happy with how the Indianapolis test went and if that’s a reflection of how our year could go, I’m really looking forward to the challenge. The team is really friendly and well organized, and I’m excited to work with them more in the off-season to build on what we’ve achieved already.”
“Louis did a fantastic job in Euroformula Open in 2021,” said Michael Duncalfe, Team Principal. “He tested very well with us at IMS this past October. We are honoured that he chose to run with Exclusive Autosport for his first year competing on U.S. soil and are looking forward to getting the season underway next month.”
