Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Mark Blundell is following the course set by Nigel Mansell by switching from Formula One to IndyCar racing. Blundell, not offered a Grand Prix drive for this season, has signed for the PacWest Racing Group to compete in the 1996 World Series.

The 29-year-old will drive alongside another ex-Formula One driver, Mauricio Gugelmin, after impressing during a test drive. Blundell will compete in the Ford Cosworth-powered car at all 16 races in the series.
