Round 5: Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, 12th-14th May.

This year will see the third running of the Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis.

The inaugural race in 2014 featured a standing start, however pole sitter Sebastián Saavedra stalled, as the lights went out and his car got hit by Carlos Munoz and Mikhail Aleshin, showering the track with carbon-fibre and forcing a restart. It was decided last year's race would have a conventional rolling start and though several cars did come together at turn one, there was no restart. So will it be third time lucky for a clean start, this year?

The track is a modified layout of the circuit that was previously used for the F1 United States Grand Prix, held from 2000 - 2007 and which is currently used by the MotoGP, Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix. The race is run clockwise, the opposite direction to the Indianapolis 500.
