โ„น๏ธ About Indianapolis I

The Indianapolis I Indy NXT event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway offers racing fans a chance to see future IndyCar stars compete on the famous 2.439-mile road course. This premier development series features talented drivers piloting Dallara IL-15 chassis powered by turbocharged 2.0-liter AER engines that produce around 700 horsepower. The Indianapolis I showcases two 35-lap races, each covering 85.37 miles on the 14-turn circuit that blends portions of the historic oval with challenging infield sections.

Fans attending the Indianapolis I at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will witness drivers from top teams like HMD Motorsports, Andretti Global, and Chip Ganassi Racing competing in cars that weigh just 1,600 pounds and can reach 12,000 RPM. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course provides excellent viewing opportunities throughout the infield, allowing spectators to see these agile race cars navigate technical corners and high-speed straights.

The Indy NXT series (formerly known as Indy Lights) serves as the final step on the Road to Indy program, directly feeding talent to the IndyCar Series.
