Watch the Indy 500 Live today

This year, rookie Robert Shwartzman impressively secured pole position, with Takuma Sato and Pato O'Ward joining him on the front row. Due to a scandal involving an illegal setup at Team Penske, Josef Newgarden and Will Power have been penalized and will start from the back. The 109th edition of the Indy 500 will start at 12:45 local time and 17:45 BST. True racing fans can thus immediately enjoy the Indy 500 after the F1 GP of Monaco. The 109th edition of the Indy 500 can be watched on TV through various broadcasters like the NBC, Paecock & Sky Sports. The drivers will receive the well-known 'Drivers, start your engines' signal at 12:38 PM local time, after which the race will commence a few minutes later. Of course, many other traditions will also be observed before the race.
