However, it is being replaced by the Canadian Grand Prix, which for some reason F1 decided would be a good idea, especially since it would overlap with The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the Indianapolis 500. The single-largest attended sporting event packs in over 350,000 passionate fans for a high-speed spectacle at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where tradition, danger, and glory collide in one of racing’s most historic events.
