Here salty, this video is for you. Its pretty cool actually. Nicky Hayden was down at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to run on the new MotoGP track for this year. In part of this video he drives a bike from 1909 that was used for the first ever motorcycle race there.:thumbsup:

Here is a map of the layout of the MotoGP track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Are they running the reverse of the F1? It looks like the same course but run reverse direction of F1.

Yes, pretty much. They are using quite a bit of the F1 track but use a little more of the track's oval and they added a few more turns.

The only difference is that they've added that little kink at turn one.

I wish I could say that I'm excited about it, but honestly, I'm not.
In fact, I have a really bad feeling about it:wonder:. I can foresee someone getting seriously injured. I hope my fears about that are unfounded, and everyone has a good time.

It would definitely be the last venue I'd choose to watch a MotoGP event, given a choice of all all the incredibly amazing circuits available.

I will most likely be working at the track during this race. Be my first time around the MotoGP. Should be interesting.

I think Moto racing is the best competition around. I love F1 but the bikes are so much more exciting.

I will try and get some pictures when Im there too. I also have a chance to work at the NASCAR Brickyard 400 this year too.
