The KVSH Racing IndyCar operation will be a one-car team in 2016, with Sebastien Bourdais its only driver reports Autosport.

The team also released noted engineer Bill Pappas.

"It's another sign of how lack of sponsorship (caused by miniscule TV ratings on NBCSN) is putting a squeeze on the motorsports industry (mostly IndyCar) and a team like KVSH is having to cut back to one car," Pappas told Autosport.

"We went through the trim-down at the end of the year and we were led to believe they would go to a one-car effort this year and believed we had the people in place.

"I had been moved to a technical director's position."
