iRacing.com Indy 500 Field Set
May 26th, 2011 by DavidP
The fastest field in the two year history of the iRacing.com Indy 500 is set, with 33 of the world’s best sim racers poised to take the green flag at 12 noon (ET) on Saturday, May 28 for the top split in “The Greatest Spectacle in Sim Racing.” The race will be broadcast on iRacing.com, streamed on IndyCar.com and shown on big screen televisions around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
More than 600 other sim racers have also qualified for the iRacing.com Indy 500. Those with iRacing licenses of C and above will race in splits of their own on Saturday at 12 noon, while rookies and D license-holders will take the green flag at 4 pm ET.
The second annual iRacing.com Indy 500 is set for Saturday, May 28.
Qualifying on the top split pole is Scandinavian IndyCar ace Yang Ou with Indiana’s John Paquin and California’s Rhawn Black completing the top three qualifiers. Like the “other” Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, the iRacing.com Indy 500 will feature some familiar names in Cary and Todd Bettenhausen (sons of former IndyCar driver Gary Bettenhausen and grandsons of 1958 National Champion Tony Bettenhausen). The field also includes a family act in the forms of Scott and Chris Manifold, distaff sim racer in Monica Clara Brand and, unlike the Indianapolis 500 itself which still has never seen a driver with the last name of Smith, Dave Carr Smith of England.
