Last year, Aurora became the first company to launch a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads. Aurora recently released its second-generation driverless truck and plans to expand across the Sun Belt. The partnership will showcase Aurora branding across the Arrow McLaren team kit beginning at Portland International Raceway August 7-9. For the 2027 season, their branding will extend to driver firesuits and the engine cover of the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Kevin Thimjon, President, Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team, said: “We’re excited to welcome Aurora to our team. This partnership is a natural fit, as both of our organizations understand the value of innovation, safety and reliability. “We look forward to partnering with Aurora as they continue to grow and shape the future of transportation.” Ossa Fisher, President, Aurora, said: “We are thrilled to team up with Arrow McLaren, a brand that embodies the same relentless pursuit of performance and innovation that drives us at Aurora. This multi-year partnership is more than just a collaboration; it’s an alignment of two organizations rooted in precision, cutting-edge technology, and a shared vision for the future. “Racing demands excellence at every turn, and we look forward to accelerating our growth alongside one of the most iconic names in motorsport.” About Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team: Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team builds on McLaren Racing’s rich heritage, giving it a home in North America.
