Indianapolis Motor Speedway – 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.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, opened in 1909 and famous as the home of the Indianapolis 500, hosted the United States Grand Prix from 2000 to 2007 on a purpose-built road course that incorporated part of the historic 2.5-mile oval — including the legendary banked Turn 1 taken in the opposite direction to the Indy 500. The 4.192 km infield layout was distinctive for blending oval banking with a slow infield section, producing the unique character that defined its eight F1 races (including the infamous 2005 six-car race).
