The 2024 schedule for the IndyCar Series has yet to be revealed, but there have been suggestions about an international non-points race.
Argentina has been the primary focal point if North America’s premier open-wheel championship extends beyond its continental territory.
“IndyCar had the best moments when it was either televised or broadcast in 120 countries... back in the early 90s,” the 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner and 1978 F1 world champion Andretti told Autosport.
“They had to start all over again, but I think the sport is living in a good moment right now, in general.
“IndyCar, they have the product. They have the drivers and the teams. They're good, solid teams. The talent pool of the drivers right now is probably unprecedented. And so why not expand it?
“I would love to see, not non-championship [races], but championship events if they're expected outside of this United States.”
Conversations and interest in Argentina hosting an IndyCar event have built up over the course of the last year.
The idea picked up traction after Juncos Hollinger Racing pulled off demonstration runs last November at Rio Hondo in Santiago del Estero and the Oscar y Juan Galvez circuit in Buenos Aires.
It was the first time in 51 years an Indy car had been on track in Argentina, when Al Unser conquered the Indy 300 at Rafaela Autodromo after winning both heats.
