Indy 500: A pace lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (+video)

By ,

During our trip to the Indy 500 with Chevrolet last weekend, we were invited to experience a pace lap around the famous Brickyard.

Here is the onboard footage recorded inside the Chevy Impala. It does not look like it but our driver reached the limit of adherence of the tires in the corners. And look how long the back stretch is!

On race day, the Indy cars were travelling at an average speed of 220 mph in race trim on that same oval!
