IndyCar officially announced on Wednesday the addition of NOLA Motorsports Park and the Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana to the Verizon IndyCar Series schedule in 2015. The event will be held April 10-12 and organized by Andretti Sports Marketing on a newly configured 13-turn, 2.67-mile permanent road course layout (BELOW).
The Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana will feature a three-day festival combining Louisiana's culture – including live musical acts, entertainment and local cuisine – with the excitement of a Verizon IndyCar Series event.
"We're delighted about the opportunity to showcase the Verizon IndyCar Series at NOLA Motorsports Park and to IndyCar fans in the greater New Orleans area," said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent company of IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "The commitment from track owner Laney Chouest and his associates, combined with the support we received from the state of Louisiana, was the catalyst in making this come to fruition. New Orleans has a history of hosting successful major sporting events and we're thrilled to be able to add the Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana to the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule."
