Who is going to win the 2024 Indy 500?
Few are the motorsport races more celebrated and prestigious than the Indy 500. Part of the Triple Crown that also includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix – the latter traditionally held over the same weekend as the Indy – the 500-mile race around the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the biggest events of the American sporting calendar.
First held in 1911, the Indy 500 will be enjoying its 108th outing this weekend and there's plenty to look forward to. IndyCar Series leader Kyle Larson will start from fifth and is probably the favourite, but he won't have it all his own way.
Josef Newgarden, who won here last year in controversial scenes owing to a late red flag and restart, will also fancy his chances as will his Team Penske's team-mates Scott McLaughlin and Will Power. Helio Castroneves, who starts on row seven this year, will be hoping to secure what would be a record fifth Indy 500 win.
What is the weather forecast for the 2024 Indy 500?
The weather forecast for Sunday's race is pretty appalling. The wet weather could provoke a delay to the start or even a reduction in the number of laps (usually 250) that can safely be completed. There have only ever been three complete postponements in race history. Nothing is ever simple when it comes to the Indy 500.
