Andretti Global Bio
Andretti Global is an American motorsports organization founded in 1993 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The team fields entries across multiple international championships including the IndyCar Series, Indy NXT, Formula E, IMSA and the Australian Supercars Championship, and is led by CEO Dan Towriss with Jill Gregory serving as president.
Originally formed as Forsythe/Green Racing, the organization evolved through several rebrands and ownership arrangements to become Andretti Global following a 2023 restructuring and a 2024 sale to Mark Walter’s TWG Global holding company, with Dan Towriss remaining a minority owner and CEO.
Early Life and Background
The organization began in 1993 when Barry Green and Gerald Forsythe established Forsythe/Green Racing and entered the Atlantics championship. The operation moved up to the CART series in 1994, fielding Jacques Villeneuve in the CART schedule and scoring strong early results.
After Green and Forsythe parted ways, the team continued as Team Green and captured major early successes, most notably the 1995 Indianapolis 500 and the 1995 CART drivers’ championship with Jacques Villeneuve. The team’s formative years established a foundation in open-wheel racing and driver development.
Path to MotorSports
From its Atlantic and CART roots the organization built a ladder program that extended into feeder categories and endurance series. The team supported entries in series such as USF2000 and Indy Lights (now Indy NXT), using those programs to identify and develop drivers for top-level competition.
Strategic partnerships and manufacturer relationships expanded the team’s footprint. The organization supported factory and technical collaborations and moved into additional disciplines including sports car racing and electric single-seaters as part of a deliberate growth strategy into multiple global championships.
Andretti Global Career
Early Career (1993–2002)
Founded in 1993, the operation ran Atlantics entries in its first season and entered the CART series by 1994. The team achieved a major breakthrough in 1995, winning both the Indianapolis 500 and the CART drivers’ championship. The mid-1990s era established Team Green as a leading open-wheel entrant on North American circuits.
Through the late 1990s and early 2000s the team underwent sponsorship and identity changes, continuing to race in top-level open-wheel competition and expanding its driver roster. Michael Andretti joined in a satellite capacity in 2001 and later took an increasingly central role in the organization’s management and ownership structure.
CART Breakthrough (1994–1995)
The CART era produced the organization’s first landmark achievements. After stepping up to CART in 1994, the team captured a landmark season in 1995 when Jacques Villeneuve won the Indianapolis 500 and the CART drivers’ title, marking the program’s arrival among championship-caliber operations.
The success of 1995 reinforced the team’s reputation for preparing drivers and running competitive cars in major open-wheel events, laying groundwork for future entries across American open-wheel and international series.
IndyCar Breakthrough (2003–present)
Following the split in American open-wheel racing, the team transitioned to the Indy Racing League (now the NTT IndyCar Series) and rebranded as Andretti Green Racing in 2003. The organization ran multiple full-time entries and rose quickly to prominence in the IndyCar paddock.
Andretti teams have won multiple IndyCar drivers’ championships and secured six Indianapolis 500 victories in 1995, 2005, 2007, 2014, 2016 and 2017. The shop has been a consistent presence at marquee American events and has developed numerous race winners and series contenders.
Formula E Breakthrough (2014–present)
Andretti entered the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from its inaugural season and later established formal partnerships with manufacturers. The team claimed the Formula E drivers’ championship in the 2022–23 season with Jake Dennis, marking Andretti’s first world championship in an FIA-sanctioned single-seater series.
Over successive Formula E seasons the operation partnered with BMW in a works capacity for a period, then continued as a competitive independent contender while preparing for technical transitions linked to future manufacturer relationships.
TWG Global Era (2024–Present)
In 2023 the organization restructured into Andretti Global to support broader international ambitions, including a bid for Formula One entry. In 2024 ownership shifted when Mark Walter’s TWG Global holding company acquired the team, with Dan Towriss continuing as CEO and minority owner and Jill Gregory as president.
That ownership change accelerated plans for a Formula One program branded in partnership with General Motors and Cadillac and approved by the FIA to enter Formula One in 2026; the project has included interim technical arrangements as the team prepares for full entry into the world championship.

Andretti Global Family
Family Background and Racing Lineage
The organization’s lineage traces from Forsythe and Barry Green’s original team through Michael Andretti’s long association, which began in the early 2000s and grew into majority ownership before later restructuring. The Andretti name and family involvement have been central to the team’s identity and development philosophy.

2025 Season Performance

The organization added to its junior-rank success with an Indy NXT championship in 2025, reinforcing its record of developing race winners for top-level competition.
On the international stage the team retained a presence in Formula E and maintained manufacturer and technical relationships as it readied the infrastructure and staffing required for a multi-series global operation.
