F1 has had on on/off relationship with the
USA over the years, with races at various tracks
being included in the season at different times.
F1 returned Indianapolis in 2000, this time
using a track that comprised part of the famous
Brickyard oval and a newly constructed infield,
more typical of the European F1 circuits. Whilst
the race has attracted reasonable crowds, the
actual racing
has been disappointing. The 2005 race was a
farce when only 6 cars started the race, as the
other teams pulled out on safety grounds (tyre
problems). The race did return to
the USA in 2006, and put on a better race.Previous Race winners
