BROWNSBURG, Ind. (November 12, 2020) – Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) announced today that veteran engineer Matthew Greasley has joined the team as race engineer for 2020 Indianapolis 500 champion, Takuma Sato. Greasley spent the past seven years with Carlin Motorsport Ltd. as a race engineer for programs in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Indy Lights, Formula E and European F3. While focused on the INDYCAR SERIES program from 2018-2020, he worked with drivers Charlie Kimball, Patricio O’Ward, Conor Daly and Max Chilton.

“We are pleased to welcome Matt to the RLL team,” said Tom German, technical director for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. “We expect his diverse experience to add notable value to RLL’s development and race engineering efforts.  From our first conversation, we knew Matt was an excellent fit for our competitive-collaborative culture.  We are looking forward to an exciting 2021 INDYCAR season.”

Season highlights for Takuma Sato include his highest Indianapolis 500 starting position of third, his second Indy 500 victory, a second-place finish in Race 1 of the Bommarito 500 and pole for Race 2. Sato earned a career-best seventh place finish in INDYCAR SERIES standings. Eddie Jones, Sato’s race engineer at RLL since 2018, retired from the sport after the conclusion of the 2020 INDYCAR SERIES season.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to come to a very established, successful team,” added Matt Greasley. “I’m looking forward to working with Takuma, particularly on the back of winning another Indy 500. It will be fantastic to work with everyone at the team and continue to build upon the success they had this season.”
