Pippa Mann has revealed that she will drive a third entry for Dale Coyne Racing for the upcoming 97th edition of the Indianapolis 500 alongside Justin Wilson and Ana Beatriz.
For the Briton, it will be her second start at the Indy 500; having driven there for Conquest Racing back in 2011 and she has only one other IndyCar race under her belt which was at the Kentucky Speedway where she finished 22nd for Rahal Letterman the same year.
The 29-year-old has competed full-time for the last time when she raced in Indy Lights in 2010 for the second season, finishing fifth in the standings.
Her addition to the grid brings the confirmed Indy 500 field to 30, three short of the traditional car count of 33, although several drivers including Townsend Bell, Jay Howard and Jacques Lazier are all reportedly working on deals.
