The first motorsport race which took place at Indy was a motorcycle one on August 14th 1909, on the 2.5 mile oval circuit, and despite its 100-year history it was not until 2008 that MotoGP arrived at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. To celebrate the event an intense modification of the layout was undertaken, but without affecting the legendary oval. The layout of the track, which is 4.170km in length and has 16 turns, incorporates the main straight of the famous oval circuit including the Brickyard and an area between turns 1 and 2 of the oval, before meandering through the vast interior of the IMS. La première course qui ait eu lieu à Indy fut une course de moto le 14 août 1909, sur l’ovale de 2,5 miles, et malgré ses 100 ans d’histoire l’Indianapolis Motor Speedway n’a accueilli le MotoGP pour la première fois qu’en 2008. De nombreuses modifications ont été apportées au circuit pour cet événement, mais en conservant le traditionnel ovale d'Indianapolis. Le tracé MotoGP est long de 4,170 km; comprend seize virages et incorpore une partie de la célèbre ligne droite où se trouve le Brickyard ainsi qu’une portion de l’ovale entre les virages n°1 et n°2, avant de revenir vers l’intérieur de l’IMS. Das erste Motorsportrennen in Indy, der 2,5 Meilen langen ovalen Strecke, war ein Motorradrennen am 14. August 1909 und seiner 100-jährigen Geschichte erreichte die MotoGP den Indianapolis Motor Speedway erst 2008. Für das Event wurde die Strecke einer umfassenden Änderung unterzogen, aber ohne das legendäre Oval zu beeinflussen. Das Layout der Strecke, die 4,170 Kilometer lang ist und 16 Kurven hat, mit der Hauptgeraden des berühmten Ovals, auf der noch das traditionelle Brickyard-Stück erhalten ist.

After a three-week break riders are heading to the USA for the FIM Moto Championship races at the Indianapolis circuit in Indiana. The track, resurfaced before the 2014 event, has potential to provide faster lap times after the race use from the past 12 months. With the 2014 experience and data, Dunlop’s engineers have mainly selected medium and hard options to suit the conditions Simon Betney, International Event Manager, Dunlop Motorsport: “With race experience from last year we have a base-line for the new track surface so can be confident that the riders have the best tyres options for the conditions now that the track has mellowed a little. Generally it takes three seasons for a new surface to reach its long-term characteristics so our choice may change again next year once we see whether the riders opt for the medium or hard options depending on how quickly the conditions have changed.”
