Alex Lynn successfully drove for Theodore Racing in Macau
Following a 31-year absence, Theodore Racing returned to the IndyCar series to compete at the Long Beach circuit, marking the start of its partnership with Rahal Letterman Racing.
The team has been linked to the Macau Grand Prix since its founder Teddy Yip, known as “Mr. Macau Grand Prix”, first competed as a driver in 1956, and went on to enter or sponsor racing teams until 1992, amassing a record total of six Macau Grand Prix victories.
His son, Teddy Jr, revived the team name in 2013 for what proved to be a triumphant return, as British driver Alex Lynn went on to win the F3 race at the Guia Circuit for the team.
The team’s performance during the return to IndyCar was not quite on par with the results obtained in Macau. The team’s driver, Graham Rahal, qualified in 17th place, finishing the race in the 15th position.
Despite the final finishing position, Rahal’s speed and ability convinced Theodore Racing Team principal, Teddy Yip Jr, said: “This weekend has been a fantastic way to bring the Theodore Racing name back to North America. My dad loved Long Beach and was a big supporter of the inaugural Grand Prix which made this the perfect race for our return.”
