You would be with all that spectacle in Monaco forgotten, but the race of the United States is just to the apotheosis came.

Together with the Formula 1 race in Monaco and the 24 hours of Le Mans, the Indy 500 is one of the most famous races in the world. Anyway, in America, this is nothing to Formula 1 or Le Mans. There they are sitting rather with half a litre of Budweiser and a big bucket of chickenwings in the stands to watch 35 cars five hundred miles (over 800 km), either exactly 200 laps on a circuit with only four corners.

In recent days there were during the training sessions of various accidents. So flew the car of Helio Castronevez high in the air and also went to Ed Carpenter there racing. The most bizarre crash during the race happened in the pit lane, when two cars while driving away hit and two technicians of a third car the victim. They are both hard to wriggle out of geschoffeld and one of him had to be transported to the hospital.

Ultimately, the ex-Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya that after 200 rounds the first on the line. The enfent terrible of the Formula 1 came from 2001 to 2006 for first Williams and later McLaren. From 2007 he went Nascar, and later Indycar drive. Incidentally won the Colombian in 2000 was also the Indy 500, which he the number of victories by Dutchman Arie Luyendyk equals.
