Indycar is heading into the business end of its season in 2023. Previous rounds include Texas, the Long Beach GP, the Alabama GP, the Indianapolis GP, the world-famous Indy 500, Detroit, Mid-Ohio, Toronto and Iowa.
Next up, we head to the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, for the third edition of the Music City Grand Prix. The Music City GP is round 13 of the 2023 IndyCar Season.
This race takes place during the day in the South-east of America. So, the session times aren't too bad for Europeans to tune in. Here's all the info you need to watch and stream the 2023 IndyCar Music City Grand Prix.
Where to watch & stream IndyCar Music City Grand Prix 2023
The Music City Grand Prix is one of the newest events on the IndyCar calendar, having its first race in 2021. Despite being a street circuit, there are some very high-speed sections of this track.
So far, both Marcus Ericsson and Scott Dixon have stood on the top step of the podium, but will we see a first-time winner around here this weekend?
Josef Newgarden will be full of confidence after back-to-back victories in Iowa, but the favourite will be Alex Palou. The Spaniard has had four wins so far this season and leads the championship by 80 points going into Round 13.
The Indy NXT Series will also be in action this weekend.
