On-track preparations for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 begin this week with an open test. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 33 entered drivers will turn their first laps of the year on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The four entered rookies will also be able to complete the Rookie Orientation Program.

Schedule

The open test for the Indy 500 will take place on Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29. Tuesday’s test will be interrupted by a two-hour rookie session, in which Dennis Hauger, Mick Schumacher, Caio Collet and Jacob Abel must work their way up to speed in different phases. Of the rookies, Abel also completed this program last year, but because he failed to qualify for the race, he is still considered a rookie this year.

The rookie session will also be used for veterans who did not compete in any other oval races after last year’s Indy 500, allowing them to gradually get back up to speed in the Refreshers test. The veterans who qualify for this are Jack Harvey, Ed Carpenter, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Katherine Legge and Helio Castroneves. Takuma Sato does not need to complete the refresher test because he tested at Indianapolis last fall.

Full schedule for the open test:

Tuesday, April 28
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Test session (for everyone not participating in the rookie/refresher test)
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Rookie Orientation Program / Refresher Test
2:00 PM – 6:00 PM: test session

Wednesday, April 29
