Agustin Canapino will be back in the 78 car in 2024. The 33 year old Argentine driver made quite an impression in 2023 with three 12th place finishes and a 21st place final standing.
Canapino entered last season with zero open wheel experience but became more competitive in the second half of the year. he ran as high as fifth in the season finale at Laguna Seca and ended the race in 14th place.
His return for 2024 was in doubt because of turmoil and inflation in the government of Argentina, which had sponsored the car in 2023. Funding ahs been found, apparently.
Callum Ilott, who drove the 77 car for Juncos Hollinger, is expected to return, but there has been no formal announcement as the team looks for funding.
