Indianapolis Motor Speedway MotoGP Layout

Racing fans of all ages and from all around the world tend to have a list of venues they wish to visit someday, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is definitely at the top of that list for most of them. That's the reason why this is the world's largest sports venue, capable of accommodating a quarter-million people to enjoy the experience of a lifetime. Its history dates back to 1909, being the second oldest purpose-built race track in the world, and it is full of racing tradition as it has hosted the best motorsports series in the world such as IndyCar, the Formula 1, or the Nascar Cup Series, to name a few. IMC's signature event is the Indianapolis 500, an IndyCar Series race where cars travel 500 miles (805 km) around the famous oval speedway.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway also features an FIA grade 1, 2.59-mile (4.16-km) inner road course, which served as the home of the United States Formula 1 Grand Prix in several opportunities, the most recent in 2007. The front straightaway of this circuit goes through a section of the oval, with the 14 turns of the road course inside, mixing different bend radiuses, and presenting a difficult challenge for even the most experienced racers. The average speed for this inner Raceway is 89 miles per hour (143 km per hour), with an average lap time of 1:44.3.
