IndyCar traces its roots back to the early 20th century with the now iconic Indianapolis 500, which was first held in 1911. By the 1970s, the formation of Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) shifted the sport into a more commercial and professional era, attracting major drivers and manufacturers and becoming highly popular through the 1980s.
A split in 1996 led to the creation of the IRL (Indy Racing League) by IMS (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) owner Tony George, with the Indy 500 becoming the centrepiece of the IRL. The split created a divide in American open-wheel racing until 2008, when CART and the IRL reunited under the IndyCar Series which is where we are today.
