In two thousand twenty-four, he briefly ventured into IndyCar with Arrow McLaren, initially stepping in for the injured David Malukas before being signed permanently, although he later faced a change in team dynamics. He made a triumphant return to full-time racing in two thousand twenty-five, joining the European Le Mans Series with Algarve Pro Racing, further solidifying his status in the racing world.
