Andretti Global, formerly known as Andretti Autosport, is an American motorsports organization with teams competing in the IndyCar Series, Indy NXT, Formula E, Extreme E, and joint entries in IMSA and the Australian Supercars Championship. The team was founded as Forsythe/Green Racing by Gerald Forsythe and Barry Green in 1993, and was known for most of its formative years as Team Green under the control of Green and his brother Kim, competing in the CART Indy Car World Series. 1991 CART champion Michael Andretti purchased a stake in the team in 2002, renaming it to Andretti Green Racing and switching to the Indy Racing League for the 2003 season. From 2009 through 2023, the team was known as Andretti Autosport, with Andretti in full control of the team. Following a restructuring during the 2023 season, the team rebranded to Andretti Global in deference to the team's new parent company, formed in 2022 by Andretti and businessman Dan Towriss to pursue a Formula One entry.
On 7 October 2024 it was confirmed Michael Andretti would be standing down as team owner.
In total, the team has won the Indianapolis 500 six times, in 1995, 2005, 2007, 2014, 2016, 2017, the CART championship in 1995 and the IndyCar Series championship four times (2004, 2005, 2007, 2012). The team has won the Indy Lights championship in 2008, 2009, 2018, 2019, and 2021.
Andretti Global competes in Formula E since the series' formation, winning the 2022–23 driver's championship with Jake Dennis.
In October 2024, Michael Andretti resigned from his position as CEO of Andretti Global, although he will continue to play a role in the company as a strategic advisor while a search for his successor is initiated.[2]
