Team co-owner David Letterman at the 2015 Indianapolis 500

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) is an auto racing team that has participated in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the IndyCar Series. Headquartered in Zionsville, Indiana[1] and Hilliard, Ohio, it is co-owned by 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal, former television talk show host David Letterman, and businessman Mike Lanigan. The team won the Indianapolis 500 twice, first in 2004 with Buddy Rice driving and then in 2020 with Takuma Sato.

The team was established in 1991 as Rahal/Hogan Racing, became Team Rahal in 1996, and was known as Rahal Letterman Racing from May 2004 until December 2010.[2] Throughout the team's history in IMSA with factory partner BMW, the team has run under the name BMW Team RLL.

In 2024, the team was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for unspecified reasons. The investigation is still ongoing.[3]
