Rounds 12 and 13: revised calendar. IndyCar Harvest Grand Prix, IMS, Oct 1-3
Rounds 12 and 13: revised calendar. IndyCar Harvest Grand Prix, Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Oct 1-3.

After a three week hiatus, it's back to green flag racing this Friday and a return to the Grand Prix circuit at IMS, for the IndyCar Harvest Grand Prix. As this is the second time this season the Grand Prix circuit will be holding an event, there didn't seem much point in repeating most of the intro for the GMR Grand Prix, however both the race review and the result are included.

Unlike the GMR Grand Prix, the IndyCar Harvest Grand Prix will be a double header and the fifth of the season. IMS are also allowing a maximum of 10,000 fans for each race. Both the GMR Grand Prix and the Indy 500 were held behind closed doors.

Scott Dixon won the first three rounds of this season; Round 2 was the GMR Grand Prix. The big question is can Scott Dixon win here again? Including the Harvest Grand Prix, there are three races left and Dixon has a 72 point lead over defending Driver's Champion Josef Newgarden.

Qualifying for Race 1, is on Thursday from 6:20pm ET, 10:20pm UTC
Qualifying for Race 2, is on Saturday from 10:20am ET, 2:20pm UTC

Some trivia:
Driver with the most wins: Will Power, 2015, 2017, 2018
Team with the most wins: Team Penske, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
