Andretti Global and TWG AI Forge High-Speed Pact to Redefine Racing

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – January 27, 2026 – In a move that signals a new frontier in competitive motorsport, Andretti Global has announced a landmark multi-series partnership with TWG AI, naming the advanced intelligence firm its Official Artificial Intelligence Partner. The strategic collaboration will see TWG AI’s technology deeply embedded across Andretti’s INDYCAR and Formula E programs, promising to revolutionize how the racing titan makes decisions at 200 miles per hour.

The partnership is more than a simple sponsorship decal. TWG AI will become a primary partner for two-time INDYCAR champion Will Power’s No. 26 Honda and for Andretti’s entire two-car Formula E outfit, which features Season 9 World Champion Jake Dennis and rising star Felipe Drugovich. The integration will expand in the 2026 season, with TWG AI serving as an associate partner on the INDYCAR entries of Kyle Kirkwood and Marcus Ericsson.

This alliance aims to unify Andretti’s vast reservoirs of data, the institutional knowledge of its veteran engineers, and the split-second instincts of its drivers into a cohesive, intelligent system designed for one purpose: to win.

The Intelligent Edge on Track

At the heart of the collaboration is the development of custom, motorsports-specific AI solutions built for the razor-thin margins of elite racing. Unlike off-the-shelf analytics tools, TWG AI is embedding proprietary, enterprise-level intelligence systems directly into Andretti's competitive operations. This initiative, which began at the close of the 2025 INDYCAR season, focuses on creating a unified platform that can help the team “learn faster, anticipate outcomes and act with confidence at scale,” according to the initial announcement.

For a driver like Will Power, this translates to a tangible competitive tool. “Racing is about making the right decisions at the right moment, with no margin for hesitation,” Power stated. “The partnership with TWG AI is focused on building intelligence that actually fits how we race.” The goal is to move beyond post-race data analysis and integrate real-time insights and predictive modeling directly into race-day strategy. This includes continuous feedback loops that allow strategists and engineers to query complex scenarios and receive data-driven answers in seconds, not minutes.

Andretti is not entirely new to the world of artificial intelligence, having previously worked with other AI firms to explore performance analytics. However, this partnership with TWG AI represents a more profound, systems-level integration. It moves the team from using AI as a specialized tool in a command center to embedding it as a core component of the organization’s operational DNA.

A Proving Ground for Enterprise AI

While the checkered flag is the most visible goal, the partnership has implications that extend far beyond the racetrack. For TWG AI, a division of the global conglomerate TWG Global, the high-pressure, data-intensive world of motorsport is the ultimate proving ground for its technology. Success with Andretti serves as a powerful case study for its core business sectors: finance, insurance, and other high-stakes industries where real-time decision-making is critical.

“What began as a high-conviction technical integration,” said Drew Cukor, President of TWG AI, “is evolving into a long-term partnership aimed at redefining how AI becomes a performance multiplier, proving that racing is a model for modern enterprise in its most extreme form.”

This strategy aligns with the broader vision of parent company TWG Global, which has been aggressively deploying AI programs through partnerships with major tech players like Palantir and XAI. By demonstrating that its systems can provide a measurable advantage in the chaotic environment of a Formula E race or the Indianapolis 500, TWG AI validates its promise to turn complex data into strategic advantage for any modern enterprise.

The Human-Machine Collaboration

Despite the focus on advanced algorithms and predictive models, both parties emphasize that this is a story of human augmentation, not replacement. The partnership is built on the idea of creating a seamless collaboration between human expertise and machine intelligence.

“This partnership is rooted in curiosity, trust and a shared commitment to pushing what’s possible,” explained Jill Gregory, President of Andretti Global. This sentiment underscores a crucial aspect of adopting AI in high-performance environments: the technology is a tool to empower people, not supplant them.

In the all-electric Formula E series, a championship built on technological innovation, this collaborative approach is paramount. Roger Griffiths, Team Principal of Andretti Formula E, noted, “Collaborating with TWG AI will help us make better decisions based on more credible information in real time.” With drivers like Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich, the focus is on using the technology to gain every possible edge, from energy management to qualifying pace.

The AI will handle the monumental task of processing terabytes of data from telemetry, simulations, and historical performance, freeing up human engineers and strategists to focus on higher-level thinking. The system can run millions of simulations for tire degradation or predict the optimal time for a pit stop, but the final call will always rest with the human on the pit wall, now armed with a far deeper level of insight.

An Industry-Wide Arms Race

The Andretti-TWG AI alliance does not exist in a vacuum. It is the latest high-profile move in a burgeoning technological arms race across global motorsport. Formula E itself recently named Google Cloud its Principal Artificial Intelligence Partner, while the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has a deep partnership with Microsoft to leverage its Azure cloud and AI capabilities.

This industry-wide trend highlights the immense pressure on teams to find new competitive advantages as regulations tighten and mechanical gains become harder to find. Data has become the new frontier for performance, and the ability to interpret and act on that data faster than the competition is now a critical differentiator.

As Andretti Global integrates TWG AI’s systems across its top-tier racing programs, the motorsport world will be watching closely. The success or failure of this deep integration will not only determine Andretti’s on-track fortunes but could also set a new benchmark for how human talent and artificial intelligence collaborate to achieve peak performance under the most demanding conditions imaginable.
