2014 Indianapolis GP & 98th Indianapolis 500 Australian TV Guide | Foxtel & SPEED


It's a far cry from the Indy 500 of even a decade ago, when Australian television viewers got the race live on Channel Ten, and that was about it. Since, first via ESPN and now SPEED Channel on Foxtel, Aussie IndyCar fans can see all of the action from the Indianpolis Motor Speedway across the Month of May, whilst, sadly, free-to-air coverage of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing has finished.

2014 is a historic year, with the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis taking place on the infield road course at IMS, on a track where cars will run up the front straight, towards Turn Four, rather than the other way around. The road course race will be held a day before the opening day of practice on the oval. On May 11, the circuit will be returned to it's oval configuration, and practice for the Indy 500 will begin.

SPEED and Foxtel present thorough coverage, beginning with that controversial road course event.
