A Temporada de 1981 da CART foi a terceira da história da categoria.[1]
CART IndyCar World Series de 1981 | |
---|---|
O campeonato consistiu em 11 corridas, começando em Avondale, Arizona, em 22 de março e terminando no mesmo local no dia 31 de outubro.[2] O campeão dos pilotos da World Series foi Rick Mears, apesar de ter perdido a 2ª rodada em Milwaukee devido a contusões sofridas nas 500 Milhas de Indianápolis.[3] O novato (rookie) do ano foi Bob Lazier.[4] Após o desentendimento com a USAC durante a temporada anterior, a 65º 500 Milhas de Indianápolis não fazia parte da Série, no entanto, nenhuma corrida concorrente foi programada e a maioria das equipes e pilotos da CART participaram.[5]
Essa temporada marcou a primeira pole position de um piloto não-americano, façanha essa conquistada pelo australiano Geoff Brabham, filho do tricampeão da Fórmula-1 Jack Babham.[6]
