IndyCar’s Will Phillips joins SCCA

A month ahead of the series' U.S. debut, SCCA Pro Racing president Derrick Walker revealed to David Malsher of Motorsport.com that he has hired Will Phillips as technical director, and he also provided some insight regarding the series' arrival on these shores….

Walker has told Motorsport.com that his ex-colleague Phillips, who served as VP of technology at IndyCar for five seasons, was the ideal man for the job, as Formula 4 makes its American debut next month.

“Will is very smart, very knowledgeable, and very placid," said Walker. “He’s sometimes stubborn, like all of us, but with the best intentions.

“For a start-up series, his intelligence is worth having here, and he’ll be a crucial part of our team."
