Indianapolis Circuit – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners
Where in the world
Every circuit that has hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Marker size shows how many, and green marks the circuits on this year’s calendar.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway 2.5-mile oval, opened in 1909 and host of the Indianapolis 500 since 1911, was nominally part of the Formula 1 World Championship from 1950 to 1960. The Indy 500 counted as a F1 round but was contested entirely by American oval drivers in front-engined roadsters, with no World Championship regulars participating — making it the most unusual \"F1 race\" of its era. Removed from the F1 schedule after 1960.
