The streets of Washington DC have turned into a race course for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. 
 
IndyCar race cars will push speeds of 180mph whilst driving around the capital's monuments. 
 
It is part of a belated celebration of the 250th anniversary of the US and is expected to attract about 140,000 people on each day of the weekend.
