The Indianapolis Motor Speedway could be a circuit that Formula E could be racing at in the future. Talks have begun between the two parties about taking the sport to the legendary Brickyard circuit.

The President of the Indianapolis motor speedway Doug Boles does not believe that Formula E will be a stand-alone event at the circuit. Therefore, there have been introductory talks, but the race looks unlikely to be run alongside the Indy 500, the Brickyard 400 or even the Moto GP event.

“The Formula E model is to have stand-alone events, and I don’t think it could be a stand-alone race at Indianapolis in the near future,” Doug Boles said to IBJ.

The Brickyard has been a place where ground-breaking inventions have been tested in racing and the automotive industry with products such as the rear-view mirror, seat belt, disk brakes and fuel injection engines all have a link back to the circuit.

Doug Boles believes that it is the speedways’ heritage to host such an event in the near future and he wants to find out more about the series and their goals for the future.

“We want to understand what this series is about and what their business model is for the future,” said Doug Boles to IBJ.

Andretti Autosport Team Owner Michael Andretti has little doubt that the Indy 500 eventually could run with electric cars and that the technology for that to happen it will have to come from Formula E.

“It’s amazing what they’re coming up with regarding the technology,” Michael Andretti said to IBJ.

Andretti also believes that by having an electric racing serious with real competition will only make the rate of technology advancement increase.

“When you start getting competition, they are soon going to be building cars that can go 300 to 400 miles on a charge,” Andretti said.

Considering that Formula E wants to have races on street circuits around the world, it will be interesting to see if they will break away from that to have one race on a circuit.
