Global giant NTT was introduced Tuesday at the North American International Auto Show as the Indycar series’ new title partner in a multiyear agreement.
NTT, with headquarters in Tokyo, grosses nearly $110 billion annually and spends $4 billion each year on research and development.
The company will also be the official technology partner of INDYCAR, the NTT IndyCar Series, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Brickyard 400.
NTT DATA has been a visible car sponsor and team partner in recent years with Chip Ganassi Racing, including Scott Dixon’s 2017 triumph at Road America.
INDYCAR President Jay Frye was also on hand with team owners Chip Ganassi and Bobby Rahal, as well as representatives from INDYCAR’s engine manufacturers.
The races in Detroit this year will take place on Belle Isle between May 31 and June 2.
