Indianapolis 500

Indianapolis 500 (lyhyemmin Indy 500) on Le Mansin 24 tunnin ajon ja Monacon GP:n ohella yksi legendaarisimmista moottoriurheilutapahtumista. == Kilpailu == Indy 500 -kisassa ajetaan 500 mailia eli hieman yli 800 kilometriä. Ratana on Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Kilpailun aikana 2,5 mailia (noin 4 km) pitkä superovaali kierretään siis 200 kertaa. Indianapolisin radalla ajetaan myös NASCAR-sarjan Brickyard 400 -kilpailu. Indianapolisin ovaalirata tunnetaan Indyn lisäksi nimellä Brickyard, sillä alkujaan kivimurskeella päällystetty rata sai pian ensiesittelynsä jälkeen tasaisemman tiilipäällysteen, joka suurimmaksi osaksi on edelleen tallessa nykyisen asfalttipinnoitteen alla. Ensimmäisen kerran pintaa tasoitettiin asvaltilla vuonna 1936, ja vuonna 1961 rata päällystettiin lopullisesti asvaltilla. Maaliviivan kohdalla on edelleen näkyvissä lyhyt osa vanhaa tiilipintaa ("yard of bricks"). Vuosina 1950–1960 Indianapolis 500 -kilpailuista jaossa olleet kuljettajien pisteet laskettiin mukaan Formula 1:n MM-sarjaan. == Kilpailut ja voittajat == Vuosi Kuljettaja Talli Runko Moottori 1911 Ray Harroun Nordyke & Marmon Marmon Marmon 1912 Joe Dawson National Motor National National 1913 Jules Goux Peugeot Peugeot Peugeot 1914 René Thomas Louis Delâge Company Delage Delage 1915 Ralph DePalma E.
