The oldest track still in use today, Indianapolis is a true motor sport institution. Built in 1908, the original track cost $75,000 to build and was originally constructed of crushed stone and tar. Following a spate of accidents however, the decision was taken to replace the surface with bricks: 3.2 million of them to be precise. Thus the legend of 'the brickyard' was born.

The first Indianapolis 500 took place in 1911 and when Formula One was incepted in 1950, the Indy 500 was a championship round. And so it remained for 11 seasons, its final running as a Formula One event coming in 1960. Formula One teams carried on turning up to Indy for the fun of it and, following the resurfacing of the brickyard in asphalt in the early '60s, the rear-engined cars of Lotus blew the chunky American roadsters out of the water. Jim Clark scored a memorable victory in 1965 and Graham Hill took the spoils in 1966.

In 1998 Indianapolis made a deal with Formula One to host a round of the World Championship again. A brand new infield course was constructed and in 2000, almost a century after the track was built, Formula One racing returned to the world's most revered circuit. With the sport building its fan base up in America every year, this is one race that looks sure to go from strength to strength.

Razlog koji Robert Kubica ne moze da ucestvuje u Indianapolis Grand Prix

Robert Kubica will sit out the US Grand Prix this weekend despite passing the FIA's cognitive and physical examination on Thursday.

The BMW Sauber driver, who was hospitalised with a sprained ankle, minor bruising and mild concussion after his huge accident during the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal four days ago, told reporters that he is feeling no ill-effects and repeated his wish to race at Indianapolis this week-end.

But after the exam led by the FIA's medical delegate Gary Hartstein inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's medical centre in the afternoon, it was decided as a precautionary measure that 22-year-old Kubica should not return to the wheel of his racer for risk that a second accident so soon after a concussion could cause serious injury.

He will be examined again at Magny Cours in two weeks but, given that he passed both the cognitive and physical elements of the FIA tests here, it is almost certain that Kubica will resume his seat for the French Grand Prix.

His place this weekend, meanwhile, will be taken by BMW test driver Sebastian Vettel, who will make his Grand Prix debut on Sunday at the age of 19.

That means that BMW-Sauber's US lineup will be all-German, with Vettel racing alongside team regular Nick Heidfeld.

Interestingly, despite being twice hospitalised himself in crashes against the famed Indianapolis banking in past years, Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher told reporters on Thursday that Kubica should be allowed to race.
