  • Single file restarts are boring... Yeah right

  • OH GAWD!

  • Comment removed

  • is that penske???

  • @TheSuperyall Yes

  • He would have been pulverized if he hit that head on 0_o

  • massive balls.

  • I like the way at the end where the team are all chilled an he's like "fuck me that was close" nice video.

  • holy shit, that was close

  • To me, this shows that he has the skill to know what to do with a car and he was able to get it through that small gap. Indy doesn't have a wide track down the front with two walls and a crash would take out all those behind him. Was this a good choice, honestly, not too much. But, he did take a big, no huge chance and it paid off, so it cannot be that bad.

  • I don't know why people hit the Not Like button, this vid is awesome isn't it

  • My God it was like a video game watching Helio pass all those cars!

  • Castroneves simplesmente ,fantastico...

  • And some morons think racing isn't a sport....it is the only one that takes two balls to play...

  • @kpheg3038 hmm racing is sport

  • @kpheg3038 so the girls that drivers f1 cars have balls?

  • @kpheg3038 Except Quiddich. That takes four.

  • I wonder what was going through that bug's head at 0:05? Besides its on own ass.

  • They need to put a little more buffer there. O_O, maybe a few more feet of safer barrier, like a ton of tires before reaching the full barrier, it looks as if ANYBODY hits that wedge at racing speed would almost spell instant death.

    I love Helio, I can't believe he doesn't have a title yet. :( 2011 for sho!

  • Why is this guy so fast??

    that's amazine

  • Why is this guy so fast??

    that's amazine

  • 0:12-0:13 i wud've pissed in my pants!!

  • True racing fans like ALL racing.... the racing series favoritism is just for the bandwagoners. I like NASCAR, F1, Indycar, Trans Am, Lemanse, Aussie V8s, Drag Racing, Dirt Track Racing, Oval, Road Course, Rally... whatever... if you find yourself feeling the need to spend time of your life to make detrimental remarks about a racing series, no matter which one it is - I think that is good reason to question how much of a racing fan you really are. Enough said.

  • @erasetoimprove I agree with this totally. I'm glad finally someone said it. I feel the same way about cars overall in the same context. I love all cars but you have "fans" who only like certain makes of cars. Sadly most of the time its because people use cars as a racial medium to hide their racist disdain toward one ethnic group to another. Its sad but its what people do.

    I'm glad their are people like you around who truly enjoy all motorsport.  Don't forget Touring cars! :D

  • @Snafu246 Yeah. Like during the NASCAR season many fans talk down about Toyota, mainly because they are not an American car make. But from everything I can see, Toyota has brought a very healthy racing program to NASCAR and many other racing series... there is no reason really to dislike them on a racing performance basis, at least in America - however that being said I do think Toyota cars in NASCAR and on the road are quite ugly. Personally, I'd love to see Subaru in NASCAR more than anything.

  • @erasetoimprove I think NASCAR itself is fine, what I find irritating was always some of the fans. Most of them which are close minded, biased, or racist. You have ignorant uneducated morons for fan base or idiot announcers like Jimmy Spencer saying that "he hates Toyota because he still remembers Pearl Harbor". I'd like to see some German makes like BMW, Audi, Merc in NASCAR, but I'm pretty sure some sanctimonious douche will make some Nazi reference. Jimmy Spencer comes to mind.

  • @Snafu246 I myself am a NASCAR fan, and I think your generalizing. I watch any racing thats on, its just I like NASCAR the best. I think the fans who hate toyota are just the older fans, who need something to complain about, its just the culture. I, for one, don't necessarily like Toyota, but I strongly agree that their competitive and really good for our sport. The only reason I don't like them in fact is because I'm a Johnson fan (Chevy) :P. But other than that, they are great for the sport.

  • @Snafu246 And as for Jimmy Spencer, I can't stand him, hes just gives critics more to hate about.

  • @erasetoimprove THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

  • passing 5 cars in one lap for Helio is just another day at the office.

  • he was propalbly like o crap lookout for the wall haha

  • Bloody hell... do you think he's stop screaming yet? :p

  • He must had no fuel and everybody was full B/cas there is not a hope in hell he/d be that faster

  • titanium balls

    holy fuck awsome driving skills :O

  • took his team mate in the inside "awesome"LOL

  • how come he is so much quicker then everyone else???

  • American car racing is the most pathetic easiest racing on the planet, u drive straight then turn slightly left for a short time. WTF?

  • @arrrz0rrr9 It really isn't as easy as you would think and its an ignorant statement to classify all American racing as ovals. America is home to some of the best road courses in the world.

  • @Topkartracer its ignorant for an american to call someone else ignorant.

  • @arrrz0rrr9 My point has been made

  • @arrrz0rrr9 You think Americans are ignorant? It's not our fault the only people the rest of the world listens to is our upper class and our government - which I will agree, are amongst the most ignorant people in all the world. But as for our lower and middle class we are no different than the rest of the world. We just want to be happy, to be educated, and to prosper at least enough to achieve that happiness and education. Unfortunately, OUR GOVERNMENT doesn't seem to want that for us.

  • @arrrz0rrr9 anyway if it were up to me the United States would have had another civil war long ago to change this country for the best. We need our government and the system that elects our officials to change drastically.

  • @erasetoimprove u r part of the problem, the first thing u think of is war, thats y evry1 hates americans.

  • @arrrz0rrr9 lol whatever. I hate war I was being exaggrative. But it would be nice if we still had the power to force the government to look out for the people. The vast majority of Americans have done nothing wrong to the world, we're the ones telling our government to worry about our own country instead of always having to step into other people's territory. All this bigotry needs to end. Saying "I Hate Americans" is no different than saying "I hate Jews" it's still primitive bullshit.

  • wtf

  • Taking no prisioners there!!

  • ... D: 

  • aww shi* at 1:12, this is too close

  • ¡Cojones!

  • Damn, this guy can do that at 200 mph, but when I'm just trying to get a little close to my shed, at 5 mph, I hit it?

  • @gmoneyq LOL!

  • Não custa mesmo nada ser piloto nestas pistas ovais, é só acelerar e levantar o pé do acelerador, não há travagens nem reduções de caixa de velocidades, comparado com a formula é uma brincadeira de meninos. :{P

  • wooow amasing i want to drive like that

  • at that time they did not have the "push to pass" button which means he just got a great restart, his car was setup just right, and hes a good driver......it was all him on the restart, no extra buttons

  • has he got boost power?

  • no tim cindrick.....penske communicates with briscoe

  • Who communicates with Helio Castroneves on the radio ... Roger Penske??

  • Chooooon choooon choooooon!!!! This is how you have to overtake!!

  • ALASKABLACKHAWK NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT RACING BEFORE HE COMMENTS. THIS IS REAL VIDEO FROM HELIO'S ON BOARD CAMERA. INDYCAR STEERING IS SET TO MOVE ONLY SLIGHTLY AS YOU TURN THE WHEEL. ANYTHING MORE AT THIS SPEED AND YOU WOULD GO INTO THE WALL.

    WAY TO GO HELIO!

  • can these cars turn right?

  • Biggest Restart

  • Franchitti's win in 07 was a fluke, the penskes were coming, he won because of the crash then the rain.

  • hell yea that was cool

  • This is why he Won the 2000, 2001, & 2009 Indy 500's!!

    He's THAT Damn Good! And he Actually takes the Risks!! WOW!!

  • Fuck. That. Shit

  • FAKE! This is from a game or video! The steering wheel moves a little but the front wheels don't move at all in either direction!

  • @ALASKABLACKHAWK Obviously you are either retarded or a troll.

  • @ALASKABLACKHAWK Have ypu ever seen a indy race before

  • Comment removed

  • @ALASKABLACKHAWK haha are u retarded?

  • is this gliding in the air,, i cant see any bumps movements on the screen.....

  • This man can race!

  • Where was the spotter?Don't they use spotters in Indy racing?...That was too close.

    This incident shows how these drivers put their very lives on the line, EVERY time they get in the car.Open-wheel is less forgiving than stock cars;so,let's get some good spotters and save lives.

  • @JBodine67 oh and ruin racing...no thanks! ;-)

  • oval = shit

  • @3Stalker3 you = shit

  • Oh i can drive better jk that was amazing holy cow you cant get any closer than that

  • awesome!

  • 5 days til Indy!!!!! Get ready to crown another 4 time winner!!! hmmm, odd how all 4 time winners except AJ, drove for Penske...coinkidink?

  • 'Scuse me cause I'm kind of a newb, but how is that he passes so many other drivers so quickly? Is his vehicle faster or does he have better tires? If all cars are equal, then he seems to be leagues apart from his competition

  • @rollingwith24s  he just got a good start and it looks like the car 3 positions ahead of him before the restart got a slow jump bottling up the group and forcing him to go low to keep up his momentum and make the pass. it takes the cars about a lap to get up to full speed so anytime you can get a jump before the green drops you have a huge advantage in momentum

  • Damn if he was 3 mm off, probably would be dead.

  • @nuncahomo he would only have died if he had hit the wall head on... and he was about 2 feet from that. he would have just clipped it otherwise, and probably would not have been seriously hurt

  • great move

  • That move could have gone so wrong...

  • Comment removed

  • @09Murphy09 good thing it was helio making that move and not wahnika

  • press pause at the right moment... That was not more than an inch

  • he is the man

  • hoooooolyyy shit. its really puts how fast there goin into perspective dont ya think? that sucker really pops up.  hes got balls

  • Whos his new partner? Last I followed the series it was gil deferren.

  • @bobsmith1080p Helios current teammates are Bryan Brisco, and Will Power...DeFerran retired 3 or 4 years ago

  • woah!!!!!!!! 3 more inches and bye bye car!!!

  • i want to do this

  • Car must of had nitrous.

  • amazing skill

  • Everybody seem like loosing momentum, or Helio is better....

  • Brasil mano ! *_*

  • Could not have been more than 2 inches on either side!!! Close as hell!!!

  • this vidio shows why he´s the best indy driver ever

  • EVAH!! not hardly. he's good....VERY GOOD. best ever, no.

  • @penske13 Helio is that good!!!! best ever? I'd argue for Penskes 4 time winner as best ever(Helio WILL get his fourth this May)

  • @raGe27576

    Woah there. Don't get ahead of yourself. You have Rick Mears, Al Unser and AJ Foyt that have more wins at Indy and as much as I like Helio, he is not on the same planet as Alex Zanardi and Juan Montoya when it comes to CART/CHAMP/INDY car.

  • "wow, was that close or what??" is the best

  • I'd like to see this from a 3rd person view.

  • Dang! Wherever that seat is today, I'd bet it still has the pucker mark.

  • Helio is great!!!!!!!!!!

  • Penske and Ganassi cars as of late have been really dominate. Helio is in a Penske car.

  • penske and gannasi have always been dominate the big 3 in indyace are penske, ganassi, and andretti green. And Andretti Green have really fallen of last season.

  • I don't follow Indy 500: are there different categories, like in Le Mans? Because this guy seems to be driving a much more powerful car than everybody else...

  • no in indy everyone has the same car, or at last a similar car. They definately do not have different classes.

  • @odracirseraoseia1999 nope...what's more remakable is that the enginge formula makes horsepower very equal between cars

  • great pass, no room for error :)

  • Lucky he didnt kill himself

  • wow, was that close or whaat??

    What a driver!

  • took a risk... the kind of driving i like to see

  • I will be attending my first 500 next year. I cant wait to see this kind of action!

  • he barely tiped the edges of the pit wall intrance but he missed it by 2inches or bout a foot. close call Helio. that car would be rip in half if he gets alil bit more to the left

  • HElio el mejor!!!!!!

  • Damn that was close...

  • he hit his partner on the left side and the body frame

  • balls of steel is all I can say!

  • Haha, is that Donald Davidson taking a turn at spotter?

  • Now that require some big brass ones!

  • he must have shat himself

  • Few centimeteres to the left and he would litteraly be dead.

  • Why the hell is he passing his opponents so fast?

  • @policeman1313 that's the point...get to the front

  • HOLY SHIT!!! Either Helio didn't see the wall or he has balls of steel...My God, that was close.

  • Either he's got nerves of steel or he's a manic. LOL Great driving!!!

  • THAT was close...O_O

  • He crashed in yesterdays race

  • its amazing how close they came, if you can get away that close from your team mate that is called proffesional driving.

  • lol at helios comment

  • Wow! Had to read the comments before i saw that

    Oh My God!

  • He should have won that one!

  • does he have like a turbo on his car? :P

  • WOW. why the hell was he so much faster than everyon eelse??

  • ...i saw nothing.

  • hes talking about in the first few seconds when he was like inches from the wall

  • hes talking about the first red/white car he passes

  • 0:11 is nothing, that was VEEERY close, even for me :O

  • wait i didn't see anything

  • oh i bet ya those white undergarmets are brown now lol...

  • Cant get much closer than that!

  • my only words were "damn!"

  • I forgot what passing looked like.

  • thats why he is a three time Indy 500 Champ

  • omg !!

    Nice skills =)

  • awesome manouver in 0:12

  • oh boy go 2 f1

  • i see SKILLS

  • Great restart ;D

  • Great post! Great competition! I´m brazilian and I´m very thankful for all people who make sports at US and at whole world. Peace, joy and competitive sports to all of us. Have fun!!!

  • He never laid off the throttle. Just kept chuggin

  • Comment removed

  • OH SHIT

  • Damn, the Roger Penske Organization just kicked ass. Helio's car was absolutely locked-in the last 20 laps yesterday.

  • omg its so scary just watching that

  • he just won

  • the caution at the end was Marco Andretti's flip on the back stretch!!!

  • that was just insane!!!!! unbeliavable how he squeezed it in and kept it all easy, just a perfect peice of racing.

  • my ears! zomg

  • Don't bitch about brazilians winning at indy. Americans need to improove their game instead of complaining about others winning. YOU came up with the series!! Put up some competition!

  • He didn't just pass a car moron... look to the left when he's passing the car.... it's called PIT WALL.

  • Another Brazillian! So many good drivers come from Brazil, they must have a race driver farm.

  • Yeah I guess they must have football and race driving farms.... :)

  • Insane..just like the video games!

  • Amazing

  • Quite the professional, Helio wins the pole for the 2009 Indy 500!

  • what happened ?

  • Okay, if you honestly did not see it, then you obviously don't understand what's considered to be close call in Indy Car, let alone auto-racing in general. Watch from :10 to :14 and hopefully you'll realize "what happened".

  • From a different angle, you can see a puff of dust come up, proving he did whitewall the inside wall. He's unfazed as his hands don't even move, and he doesn't overreact/overcorrect..he just drives through it, and continues to accelerate.

    Had the rain not come right after the Marco flip, Dario was out of sequence and would have had to eventually pit, and Helio would have pretty much taken over the lead....and probably would have been a 3-time winner.
