Wednesday afternoon, IndyCar officials confirmed a long-reported rumor. The popular open-top racing series is heading to Nashville for a street circuit in August 2021. This new event is the first addition to the series since Roger Penske purchased IndyCar, and it will serve as a marquee event for residents of Music City.
When fans heard the news, they reacted with considerable excitement. Many proclaimed that they have already booked their hotel rooms for the race weekend and plan to make the trip — although they said that the pandemic would have to end first. Others said that they think the design of the track is phenomenal due to the long straightaway over the bridge. These fans anticipated speedy lap times and noted that they would “be flying” back to the stadium.

Would be super cool if this was a night race. Just looked up the bridge and it looks savage lit up.

The roadcourse aerokit doesn’t look bad with the superspeedway wheel ramps.

Indycars heading in both directions past each other on that bridge should make for some spectacular visuals.

That section will essentially be the same as F1 was planning for the Vietman GP.
