INDYCAR Drivers Prepare for New Street Courses

As INDYCAR approaches new street circuits in Markham and Washington, D.C., drivers utilize advanced simulation technology to prepare for the unique challenges ahead.

INDYCAR drivers are gearing up for upcoming races at new street circuits in Markham, Ontario, and Washington, D.C. These tracks present unique challenges, particularly as they are both debut venues for the series.

To prepare, drivers rely heavily on the Driver In The Loop simulator, which helps them familiarize themselves with the layout and characteristics of the new courses. This tool is especially crucial for temporary street circuits where traditional data sources are unavailable.

The Markham track features a newly repaved 2.19-mile circuit, which is expected to provide consistent grip and fewer bumps compared to older surfaces. However, the simulation data was collected before the repaving, meaning drivers must adjust their expectations regarding grip and track conditions. This weekend marks a significant moment as INDYCAR returns to the greater Toronto area after 40 years of racing in downtown Toronto.
