IndyCar: Nashville street circuit getting tweaks for 2022 (Update)

Several changes for the second Music City Grand Prix were announced last month, the most significant of which is said to be the movement of the restart zone from the finish line to the exit of the Korean Veterans Bridge (KVB).

However, there will also be a number of differences to the track itself, including the opening of the apex at the 11th and final corner to increase drivers’ vision.

It is that work which is underway, per imagery released by organizers, which shows excavation in progress on the inside of the existing curb and guttering.

Other modifications will be made at both ends of the bridge, Turn 5, and also Turn 9.

Changes that should make the track slightly faster:

Turn 11 widening is underway. Turns 10 & 11 are being widened and adding more radius to the turns. @IndyCar
