The Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis[1] is an IndyCar Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indianastarting in 2014. The race takes place on the combined road course at the Speedway. The inaugural running occurred on May 10, 2014.
The race is run on a new, modified layout of the circuit previously used for the Formula One United States Grand Prix as well as theMoto GP motorcycle event.
The 2014 Grand Prix served as a lead-in to the 98th Indianapolis 500. Support races were held, including a revival of the Liberty Challenge.
In 2012, Hulman & Co., the parent company of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, hired Boston Consulting Group to evaluate its business operations.[2] In their report, one of their suggestions was to explore the possibility of hosting an IndyCar Series race on the road course at Indy.[3]
In September 2013, an IndyCar feasibility test was conducted on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.[4][5] The inaugural race was announced on October 1, 2013, and was scheduled for early May.[6]
Shortly after the test, a construction project began in October 2013 to reconfigure the road course layout in order to the make the circuit more competitive, better for fans, and more suited towards Indy cars. The entire road course portion was repaved, while several segments were modified. The road course turn one was changed to a 90-degree turn, and moved further north. The road course portion inside oval turn 4 was revised to remove two slow turns, and effectively lengthens the Hulman Boulevard backstretch. At the end of the Hulman Blvd. backstretch, a new 90-degree left turn leads to a new series of faster turns behind the museum. Rather than follow original turn 13 (oval turn 1) like the U.S. Grand Prix did, the IndyCar circuit will mimic the motorcycle course, and utilize the "snake pit" infield complex. Two of the sharper corners (utilized by the motorcycles) will be omitted, replaced with a single 90-degree right turn. The new course distance will measure 2.439 miles (3.925 km).
I think it would be a great idea to insert the new road course indianapolis in the game because the track is nonetheless a famous but also totally revamped track.
