So, back to the original question, how many gears do the Indy cars use? If they
hit 220 (?) on the straight, what do they do in the corners?

I'm pretty sure that once they get into top gear, they stay there until they
pit or are forced to slow down for a caution.

As for speed... 220 is what they're doing in the *turns*. Those bad boys top
240 on the long straights. Track record for one lap is 237.498 by Arie
Luyendyk in 1996.
