"For more than a century Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been America’s crown jewel of racing. Built in 1909, it is the original “Speedway.” Nicknamed “The Brickyard” since it was, until 1961, a bone-jarring all-brick circuit. Now, just the start-finish line remains bricked in remembrance of racing days gone by. IMS is the highest-capacity sports venue in the world, with seating for somewhere in the neighborhood of 400,000 fans. Indy’s two-and-a-half-mile rectangular oval is made up of four quarter-mile turns, two 5/8 mile-straightaways, and two eighth-mile “short chutes.” The track is relatively unchanged in layout since its inception although the facility has undergone many updates over the years. Complementing the historic oval since 2000 is the infield course, which incorporates the southwest oval turn to make up its circuit. The infield course was recently modified and you will be racing on that new layout in Forza Motorsport 6."

Trivia

• The circuit is nicknamed the Brickyard due to the track originally being paved with bricks, one yard of which remain at the finish line.
• The circuit is famous for hosting the Indianapolis 500, first run in 1911.
• The road course was built as a way to attract Formula One to the United States after a long hiatus. Unfortunately, the circuit proved unpopular and was dropped after 2007. IndyCar adopted the road course in 2014, modifying the configuration to their needs.
• Other racing series hosted at Indianapolis include NASCAR, Grand AM, IMSA, Trans Am, and MotoGP.
