The No. 6 entry for the 2024 racing season will showcase Onsemi as its primary partner for four races, starting with the Grand Prix of Long Beach. onsemi, a prominent semiconductor manufacturer with a global presence, has been in partnership with Arrow McLaren since November 2022. The newly unveiled livery of the car features gray, papaya, and black as its primary colors, incorporating a distinctive circuit board design that reflects Onsemi’s innovative ethos.
Gavin Ward, the Team Principal of Arrow McLaren, expressed excitement about debuting the sporty livery at Long Beach, emphasizing Onsemi’s significance as a partner and their shared passion for racing. The partnership extends beyond mere sponsorship, reflecting a genuine enthusiasm for the sport. The unveiling of the new livery signals a dynamic collaboration between Onsemi and Arrow McLaren, aiming to captivate fans both on and off the track.
In addition to Long Beach, onsemi will be prominently featured as a sponsor at other venues, including Detroit, Road America, and St. Louis, underscoring the extent of their involvement in the racing season. However, the driver for the No. 6 Onsemi Chevy at Long Beach is yet to be confirmed, adding an element of anticipation to the upcoming event.
The absence of David Malukas, originally slated to drive for the team due to injuries sustained in a mountain biking accident, has prompted Arrow McLaren to rely on Callum Ilott as a fill-in driver for certain races. However, Ilott’s unavailability for Long Beach, owing to a conflicting commitment with the World Endurance Championship, necessitates the consideration of alternative candidates.
Among the potential replacements is Théo Pourchaire, the reigning Formula 2 champion, whose credentials make him a compelling option to contest the challenging Long Beach circuit. As the team navigates the complexities of driver selection, the upcoming race holds the promise of high stakes and intense competition, further heightened by the anticipation surrounding the debut of the onsemi-themed No. 6 entry.
