NTT IndyCar Series 2023 - GMR Grand Prix

May is Indy 500 month but before the biggest spectacle of motor racing kicks off this Memorial Day weekend, IndyCar's finest aces will have to take on the Grand Prix circuit of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the GMR Grand Prix.

As the green flag waved, the action at the IMS GP Circuit is on with Christian Lundgaardoff starting from the pole until the caution was triggered when David Malukas and Sting Ray Robb got collided while Kyle Kirkwood got penalized for his incident with Will Power. Halfway through the race, Alex Palou and Christian Lundgaardoff are clashing for the lead while Simon Pagenaud called it quits following a mechanical failure in the pits.

Alex Palou wins the GMR Grand Prix and he's now taken the lead in the championship standings, beating Pato O'Ward and Alexander Rossi in the fight toward victory lane. He is now six points ahead of O'Ward, 174 vs 168.

The next race is the 107th running of the Indy 500 this May 28th. Who will be the next to have their face at the Borg-Warner trophy? Don't miss it!
