Very disappointing.
The Gen3 Evo show car will be in Mexico so unsure what logistical challenges McLaren might have faced.

Yeah really wierd. Just seems odd they can't ship an Indycar to Mexico.

Jeff Dodds was also still sort of hyping it up last week in an interview with TalkSport where he said they have something exciting for the fans at Mexico. So FE side of things it was still in play last week.

Unless maybe Indycar stepped in and stopped it which would be odd or maybe FIA stopped it for whatever reason.
