The 1991 Firestone Indy Lights Championship consisted of 12 races. Éric Bachelart won four races on his way to the championship. He was one of six different winners on the season.
Held September 15 at The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Robbie Buhl won the pole. After a full-course caution to clean up the crash of Robbie Groff on lap 27 (of 34), the race went back to green on lap 30. Eric Bachelart and Robbie Buhl were running 1st-2nd. Going into turn one, Buhl got a jump on the restart, and dove inside. But Bachelart closed the door, and the two cars tangled. Brian Till, running third, slipped by to take the lead. The caution came out and the race finished under yellow. Hometown driver Brian Till won his first career Indy Lights race, with Mark Smith second.[1]
