Caio Collet will continue in Indy Nxt for a second season in 2025 with HMD Motorsports, which expects him to fight for the title.
With one race remaining, Collet is guaranteed to finish third in this year’s championship as the best rookie, having claimed his maiden win at Mid-Ohio in July.
Collet made the move to the IndyCar support series after three years in FIA Formula 3 with the support of the Alpine Academy, having previously won the French Formula 4 title in 2018 and finished second in the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2020.
He remains part of Nicolas Todt’s All Road Management stable, as he has been since karting.
“I am excited to continue in Indy Nxt and with HMD Motorsports,” Collet said. “Almost every track was new to me this season, so with a year under my belt, more experiences, knowledge, and knowing what to expect, I have my goals set high for 2025.
“Working with my engineer, Mike (Reggio), and the entire team has been great, and I know they have big goals as a program in 2025 and beyond.”
“Caio is a talent behind the wheel, and his approach to each day, weekend, and season is like nobody else,” HMD President Mike Maurini said.
“To do what he did in 2024 was impressive. After never driving on any of these tracks, seeing some of them for the first time on a race weekend, and with the lack of preseason testing due to weather-plagued test days, we expect Caio to be in the thick of the title hunt in 2025. He has a very bright future ahead of him.”
