Well, the good news for the GMR Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway looks to be dry throughout the entire race weekend, but the bad news will be the heat.
Well, the good news for the GMR Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway looks to be dry throughout the entire race weekend, but the bad news will be the heat.
Friday looks to be a hot day with plenty of sunshine and only a few clouds, and winds will be too light to really give any help to cooling anyone off. Temperatures will start off around 84 degrees at 11:00 am, just before the first round of practice and heat up to around 91 degrees by 4:00 pm. It will only drop a degree or two for qualifying. Winds will be out of the northeast at 2-6 MPH.
A near carbon copy forecast for Saturday but there will be just a few more clouds in the sky. However, skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures will be hot once again. At 9:00 am for the morning warmup, we are looking at temperatures around 77 degrees, but race temperatures will be around 87 at the drop of the green flag and will be hotter around 90 degrees for the checkered flag. Wind will be light once again out of the north-northeast at 2-6 MPH.
