For Club racers who never thought they’d get a chance to compete at the Brickyard, the SCCA has some very interesting news for you: Officials have just announced that the 2017 Runoffs will be held on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
Our friends at Motorsport Retro bring us this collection of fanastic images from last month’s inaugural Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a massive vintage racing event held by the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association. The famed race track hosted more than 500 of the world’s finest and most historic racecars as they competed on the recently reconfigured road course as well as running exhibition events on the famed 2.5 mile oval.

Racing is a dangerous sport, and our beloved Formula 1 is no exception, as we were reminded with Felipe Massa’s frightening injury in July of 2009. Thankfully, safety has come a long way throughout motorsports history, and gone are the days when deadly accidents were a regular part of racing. We put together this graph to illustrate the fatal history of one of the world’s favorite racing series, Formula 1.
Formula 1 and Indy have some exciting races this weekend. What are your predictions?
