The '''2023 Indian Racing League''' was a [[single seater]] [[Auto racing|motor racing]] championship held across [[India]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rpplind.com/irll.html|title=Indian Racing League|publisher=RPPL Motorsports|accessdate=12 October 2023}}</ref> The season was heavily disrupted by [[Cyclone Michaung]] making landfall at the Indian east coast.

After three of the planned four rounds were held, the season was concluded early, with the No. 24 Goa Aces car piloted by [[Raoul Hyman]] and Sohil Shah winning the Entrant Championship and the Bangalore Speedsters victorious in the Teams' Championship

=== Team changes ===
Chennai Turbo Riders were initially confirmed to be re-named "Chennai Supersonics", but the "Turbo Riders" moniker was later reinstated.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CzLJyfXhF7i/|title=ANNOUNCEMENT - TEAM NAME CHANGE|publisher=[[Indian Racing League]] on [[Instagram]]|date=3 November 2023}}</ref>

===Driver changes===
[[Oliver Webb]] was the only returning driver at Bangalore Speedsters. [[Bianca Bustamante]], Rishon Rajeev, Anshul Gandhi and Webb's substitute driver Yash Aradhya all left the team. The team signed [[2022 W Series|W Series]] driver [[Sarah Moore (racing driver)|Sarah Moore]] and MRF F2000 drivers Kyle Kumaran and Ashwin Datta to replace them.

Chennai Turbo Riders replaced their Indian drivers. Parth Ghorpade, Vishnu Prasad and his injury substitute Sandeep Kumar were replaced by [[2022–23 MRF Formula 2000 season|2022–23 MRF F2000]] champion and runner-up [[Sai Sanjay]] and Mohamed Ryan. Kumar moved to Speed Demons Delhi as a last-minute replacement for [[Shahan Ali Mohsin]], who moved to the [[2023 F4 Indian Championship|F4 Indian Championship]], whilst [[2023 F1 Academy season|F1 Academy]] driver [[Chloe Chong]] replaced Célia Martin as original signing [[Belén García]] did not compete.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy5ezgChMEZ/|title=📢 DRIVER ANNOUNCEMENT|publisher=[[Indian Racing League]] on [[Instagram]]|date=27 October 2023}}</ref>

[[Raoul Hyman]] rejoined Goa Aces after having to sit out the second half of the 2022 season to conduct [[Super Formula Championship|Super Formula]] testing. This saw his replacement, [[Kevin Mirocha]], leave the series.

British GT driver Jordan Albert, who was entered for reigning Teams' Champion [[Godspeed Kochi]] for the cancelled opening round of the 2022 season, did not return to the series.

Hyderabad Blackbirds announced GT driver [[Álvaro Parente]] for the first half of the season, replacing Thomas Canning. [[Neel Jani]] is expected to return to the team in the second half having contested most of the 2022 season. [[Lola Lovinfosse]] was originally confirmed to be competing for the team, but was replaced with Laura Camps Torras the day before the season started.

Duplicate rounds in Hyderabad and Irungattukottai were initially dropped in favour of new races at the [[Buddh International Circuit]] and a new street circuit around [[The Island, Chennai|Island Grounds]] in Chennai.<ref>{{cite news |date=17 August 2023 |title=New Chennai street circuit to host F4 India night race |publisher=[[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar India]] |url=https://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/new-chennai-street-circuit-to-host-f4-india-night-race-429063}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=FMSCI: 2023 Provisional Calendar of Events |url=https://www.fmsci.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/calendar.of_.events.2023-UD-27.09.23.pdf}}</ref> An updated calendar was released later on that dropped the planned round at Buddh International Circuit in favor of a second round at Irungattukottai.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Racing League Official on Instagram: "Save the dates" |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy3Ej54BzP9/ |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=www.instagram.com}}</ref> In the week leading up to the opening round, the first round was announced to also be moved to Irungattukottai because of the code of conduct surrounding elections in Telangana.<ref>{{Cite web |date=31 October 2023 |title=Indian Racing League on X: "Press release" |url=https://twitter.com/Irlofficial1/status/1719339007580991593?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet |access-date=31 October 2023 |website=X}}</ref> Because of concerns regarding the arrival of [[Cyclone Michaung]] in the area, the penultimate round at Irungattukottai was postponed on short notice, with two more races to be added over the weekend at Chennai to compensate for it.<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 December 2023 |title=Indian Racing League on Instagram: "Event Update" |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/C0YS1mVL8KX/?hl=de |access-date=3 December 2023 |website=[[Instagram]]}}</ref> This event did not come about, also because of the cyclone, with all races instead held at Madras.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wood |first=Ida |date=2023-12-06 |title=Indian F4 round three cancelled, round four relocated due to wet weather |url=https://formulascout.com/indian-f4-round-three-cancelled-round-four-relocated-due-to-wet-weather/113911 |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=Formula Scout |language=en-US}}</ref> After six of the planned eight races were held over three weekends at Madras, the season was concluded early.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 December 2023 |title=Indian Racing League Official on X: "🚨Announcement🚨 Round 3 of the Indian Racing League will conclude the championship for 2023." |url=https://twitter.com/Irlofficial1/status/1734440556288467358 |access-date=12 December 2023 |website=X}}</ref>

===Format changes===
Unlike the previous season, two qualifying sessions and two races were held per event – with the "feature race" including driver swaps discontinued. Two drivers were entered in each car, with each driver contesting one of the two event days – consisting of one 20-minute practice session, one 10-minute qualifying session and a 25-minute + 1 lap race per day.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Racing Festival 2023 - Hyderabad |url=https://insider.in/indian-racing-festival-04-nov-2023-hyderabad/event |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=insider.in |language=en}}</ref>

==Season summary==
The 2023 season began as the 2022 season left off – under a cloud of mismanagement, as the first round had to be relocated from the [[Hyderabad Street Circuit]] to the [[Madras International Circuit]] less than a week before the start of the season due to the knock-on effects of the [[2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election]]. The first race of the season was postponed by a day due to torrential rain, with Kochi's Ruhaan Alva claiming a lights-to-flag victory as Hyderabad's reigning champion [[Akhil Rabindra]] crashed with Alva's teammate Alister Yoong on the opening lap. Bangalore's [[Sarah Moore (racing driver)|Sarah Moore]] became the series' first female race winner in the wet second race, following both Goa's pole-sitter Sohil Shah and Kochi's [[Nikhil Bohra]] spinning out of the lead early in the race before Bohra punted Goa's Gabriela Jílková out of the race lead on the final lap.<ref>{{cite news |date=31 October 2023 |title=Election issue leads to Indian F4 relocating this week’s inaugural round |url=https://formulascout.com/election-issue-leads-to-indian-f4-relocating-this-weeks-inaugural-round/112810 |publisher=Formula Scout}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sarah Moore shines in Indian Racing League |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2023/nov/09/sarah-mooreshines-in-indian-racing-league-2631262.html |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

The second round was heavily disrupted by bad weather - originally, the weekend was supposed to be a double round with four races, but after multiple delays, only two races were held. Goa's [[Raoul Hyman]] dominated the first day, claiming pole position by over 1.3 seconds and leading the first race from start to finish. Bangalore's [[Oliver Webb]] was his closest opposition, but did not attack him. Hyderabad's [[Akhil Rabindra]] came third. Bohra took pole position for the second race, where the start was aborted when Bangalore's Ashwin Datta stalled. Bohra pulled away at the restart, with only Chennai's [[Jon Lancaster]] managing to stay close to him, but the Brit was unable to get into the lead. Rabindra completed the podium, while Moore in fourth was able to consolidate a three-point championship lead over Lancaster and [[Sai Sanjay]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=RACERS |date=2023-12-02 |title=Sarah Moore claims another top-5 in Indian Racing League |url=https://www.racers-behindthehelmet.com/post/sarah-moore-claims-another-top-5-in-indian-racing-league |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=Racers |language=en}}</ref>

As Cyclone Michaung then hit India, the third round was relocated from Chennai to Madras. Shah earned pole position for the first race, defended his lead at the start and led until he made a mistake and ran off track. This promoted Bohra into the lead and he did not look back from then on, taking the win. Hyderabad's Anindith Reddy came second, while Lancaster had a brilliant race, starting last and finishing on the podium after overtaking Jílková at the final corner. Webb took pole position for the second race, but Hyman took the lead through the first corner. He held on all throughout the race to win, thereby allowing him and Shah to take the championship lead. Webb had to be content with second, while Hyderabad's Neel Jani came third. As the final two planned races of the season were cancelled, Hyman and Shah took the championship title.<ref>{{Cite web |last=RACERS |date=2023-12-09 |title=IRL: Gabriela Jílková close to a podium finish in Round 3 race 1 |url=https://www.racers-behindthehelmet.com/post/irl-gabriela-j%C3%ADlkov%C3%A1-close-to-podium-finish-in-round-3-race-1 |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=Racers |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=RACERS |date=2023-12-10 |title=Laura Camps secures another top-10, Chloe Chong gets first point in IRL |url=https://www.racers-behindthehelmet.com/post/laura-camps-secures-another-top-10-chloe-chong-gets-first-point-in-irl |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=Racers |language=en}}</ref>

While the season started with little information given by official sources regarding topics like the sporting format, coverage improved throughout the season. The heavy, short-term disruptions posed by the landfall of Cyclone Michaung were handled and communicated well. Still, the reduction from a planned eight-race schedule across three locations down to six races at a single venue hurt the championship, and a champion confirmed away from the track through cancellation of the rest of the rounds is never a good look.
