Formula One fans will have a chance to compare the cutting-edge technology of today's cars with the historic machines of years past during next weekend's United States Grand Prix, where several cars will roar back to action at Indianapolis.

Up to 22 cars will be driven around the Indianapolis road course after both Friday's practice and Saturday's qualifying sessions.

The Historic Grand Prix group comprises more than 50 owner-drivers who prepare and drive vintage Formula One cars spanning from 1966 to 1983. The cars, while not running, will be parked in an open-air garage area in the east parking lot of the Speedway's Hall of Fame museum.

The entries include the Tyrrell driven by three-time champion Jackie Stewart in 1971, as well as the Lotus 79 driven by Mario Andretti in his 1978 World Championship campaign. Cars formerly driven by Formula One legends such as Niki Lauda, Ronnie Peterson, Clay Regazzoni and Gilles Villeneuve will also be on display.
