The month of May in auto racing is synonymous with a number of marquee events – but the oldest and richest prize to be contested every May is the Indianapolis 500, held this year on May 28, 2017.
This year’s Indy 500 is filled with intriguing storylines, headlined by the debut of two-time Formula 1 World Champion, Fernando Alonso. Over in Japan, the country’s hopes for a victory lie solely with Alonso’s new teammate, Takuma Sato, who came within a lap of potentially winning the Greatest Spectacle in Racing five years ago in 2012.
Many drivers have competed at the fabled Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 100 runnings of the Indy 500, held over a span of 106 years. Six of them have also competed in the Autobacs Super GT Series, including three current GT500 drivers, and one former GT500 champion!
