NTT IndyCar Series 2021 - GMR Grand Prix

May is Indy month and the corners of Indianapolis Motor Speedway come alive with the NTT IndyCar Series' GMR Grand Prix, where drivers get a taste of the Indy action before the big one happens at the end of this month.

Former Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean leads the grid to the starting line as the pole sitter and as the race starts, caution is out when Conor Daily is out of the track. Come Lap 25, the leader Grosjean has entered the pits while Scott Dixon's in the lead. Several laps later, Grosjean's back on top until he made his second pit stop on Lap 43. As Grosjean's fight to retain his lead continues, here comes the unexpected surprise blow and that is Rinus VeeKay storming behind Grosjean for the lead.

The next race is the big one; it's the 105th Indianapolis 500 coming this 30th of May, 2021. Don't miss it!
