Former McLarenIndy president Taylor Kiel has joined CGRTeams as its team manager for the 2023 IndyCar season. DavidMalsher explains the switch below ⬇️
Kiel announced his departure from AMSP just 10 days after the final round of the 2022 IndyCar season, concluding a near 15-year term at a team which, when he started, was known as Sam Schmidt Motorsports and was better known for its Indy Lights success.
He told Autosport: “It’s taken some adjustment because the reality is that I’ve spent my entire career effectively working for and building an organisation I was very comfortable with, and now I’ve got to start from scratch and learn new things – new processes, new ways of working, learning who to go to for certain matters, those types of things.
Following his move to Ganassi, Kiel will likely switch from communicating strategy for 2022 Indy 500 runner-up O'Ward to calling the shots for race winner Ericsson“When you look at the two scenarios, one was a racing organisation that is in a lot of different series but they’re all in different locations, run by different people and are very separate from each other.
“Team Penske’s had a lot of success but from the championship point of view, from a global racing point of view, Ganassi has done a lot and you see that on full display. Not only does this team talk about it, they actually do it.
