Monaco GP and Indy 500: How 'Super Sunday' is still taking place

Virtual Monaco GP and Indy 500: Back Home again air on Sunday night on Sky F1, Main Event and Mix

On what should have been a 'Super Sunday' of motorsport, Sky Sports F1 are airing two shows with a difference on two of the world's greatest and biggest racing events.

F1's Monaco GP and the Indy 500 should have been taking place within hours of each other on Sunday, before the coronavirus pandemic took hold.

So while the Monaco race will not take place at all this year, and the Indy 500 has been pushed back to September, you can still get a flavour of the events on Sunday on Sky F1.

First up, it's the Virtual GP which starts at 6pm. And you can also watch, or catch up, on our digital platforms.

The Virtual GP is followed at 8pm by Indy 500 Special: Back Home Again as our colleagues from NBC produce a retelling of last year's Brickyard race won by Simon Pagenaud in an IndyCar-style Watchalong.

The two shows cap a week of fresh content on Sky F1.

Your week started on Monday night with the 'Best of Sky F1 in Monaco' show as we took a look at some of our most memorable features from F1's most glamorous event from over the years.
