Indianapolis Motor Speedway Adopts X2 Race Control

Connected race control across the IMS road course

The X2 Race Control installation covers the 14-turn Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Thirteen Grade 2 X2 LED Panels are positioned around the circuit to display high-visibility digital flag signals to drivers.

Six X2 BaseLinks support communication coverage across the track layout, connecting the trackside equipment with race control.

The integrated system enables race officials and track operators to monitor, communicate and respond from a central platform. Flag information can be relayed around the road course in real time, helping drivers recognize changing track conditions and supporting a consistent race-control response.

Race-control technology at a historic circuit

The installation brings current race-control technology to one of the most historically significant venues in motorsport.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened in 1909. Its original surface of crushed stone and tar was replaced later that year with 3.2 million paving bricks, giving the circuit its enduring “Brickyard” nickname. A section of those bricks remains visible at the start-finish line.

While the Speedway is best known for its 2.5-mile oval and the Indianapolis 500, its road course has hosted INDYCAR, Formula 1, MotoGP, NASCAR and sports car competitions.

The X2 Race Control installation supports operations on this road-course layout while preserving the identity and traditions associated with the wider venue.
