  • Castroneves looks like a 1970's game show host.

  • It seems like it would be so much fun to go to one of these races.

  • Comment removed

  • Vitor had no luck... fire and upside down.

  • The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. The greatest race in the world since 1911. On another note, poor Tony Kanaan. The best current driver to not win the 500.

  • Although I started going to the 500 full time in 2006, there is still nothing like listening to the IMS Network being a native Hoosier. Growing up, that's the only way and is still the only way you can follow the race live in the Indy area.

  • Indy hasn't got nothing on f1 championship,f1 faster cars, more corners and longer straights

  • Briscoe really got swarmed on that 3rd restart

  • u won't believe it but i've watched f1 since i was 2 years old and i always used to shout Schumacher everywhere. it's my ambition to become one as i love speed and most importantly Senna

  • wow this was actually quite an exciting video. 

  • slowly but surely, Indy is making its way back. It might not be what it used to be, and it may not ever be, but its nice that its at least making some real progress. Great crowds at Indy, but some of their events are still lacking.

    When they came to Detroit in 2008 it was a massive crowd and hardly an open seat. Whatever lame reasons they postponed it for mysterious reasons.

    I hope they come to my new home in Houston someday.

  • Guys! 1- IRL and Champ Car are dead its back to IndyCar now, forget all the bad blood (like I did) and enjoy some good open wheel racing. 2- In 2012 we'll have the new AWESOME formula which brings Lotus-Cosworth vs Honda-HPD vs Chevrolet-Ilmor!3- 2011 is going to be freaking awesome! 25 full time cars (minimum it might actually grow to 28) and Mr. CEO Randy The Awesome wants the current cars to reach possibly 240 mph in the 2011 Indy500!4- Randy is the best leader open wheel racing has ever had!

  • there is just so much to see.

  • @9:59 He's doing it wrong.

  • how fast are these vehicles going?

  • IRL is if NASCAR and FORMULA 1 made babys

  • This sport is so stupid...... around around around around around around around around around around around around around. just like nascar. There is no real skill in this . this is just around around around untill you hit something

  • @agent866 yea well tell me your favorite sport and i can make it sound as dull as that

  • @JVhapu f1.... There are more turns and it isn't just a normal circle.

  • @agent866 in F1 there are hardly ANY overtakes, they just go around the track really fast behind each other and finish in, pretty much, THE SAME ORDER AS THEY WERE IN LAP ONE. Oh, and go see all the IndyCar tracks, not just circles.

  • @JVhapu lol u should watch the formula grand prix, its nothing like this. and also look up Schumacher's overtakes, check out senna. YOU will be amazed

  • @dsafsfa yea maybe in 1990, and trust me, i've watched F1 when i was a kid, but these days its lacking all emotion.

  • @JVhapu yep i fully agree with you on that. you just can't find thrilling races anymore and that is where my dream begins. i want to be an f1 driver and am in karting. i will do whatever i can to realise this so please wish me luck

  • @dsafsfa Sure, i hope you'll one day be an F1 champion :D

  • @JVhapu thanks a million

  • @JVhapu F1 has change so much! With the use of DRS ( drag reduction system ) and KERS ( which works like a turbo for 6.6 seconds ) there are A LOT of overtakes in fomula 1. in 2011 the grid position at the start is not so important as in previous years.

  • Marco Andretti is disappointing his grandfather.

  • GREAT HELIO!

  • Indy racy is pretty good, but I'm watching the 24hrs of LeMans right now, and the Indy 500 isn't even in the same league. Thes guys are racing for 24 hours, rain or shine, day and NIGHT full blast on public roads. These night scenes are absolutely mind blowing down the Mulsanne Straight. The 500 is good, but LeMans is ridiculous.

  • indycars are so faster then the stock cars.

  • Why do people compare this to F1? Thats stupid. The difference in engineering and driving skill needed to compete in this, and f1 is extremely big.

  • when is the 500 this year

  • @DillanLM Sunday May 30 at 1 p.m. E.S.T.

  • valeu,helinho,e vamos ganhar em 2010

  • Wonder what excuse Danica Patrick will have for her poor performance at Indy this year? I swear, I have never seen anyone who is more of a media creation than Danica. Yeah, she looks great (especially in a firesuit, a bikini, etc.), but when it comes to DRIVING, she just doesn't have it - what has she won? ONE race, in JAPAN. She's 0-for-her career in the United States, for crying out loud!

  • Somebody thinks that IRL cars and F1 is the same....

    That is wrong!

  • Good luck TK!!!!!!!!!

  • I've been going here since 2007.......... I wish Tony didn't crash :(

  • Bring back the cars of 96'

  • can anyone give me the specs of the cars

    the power, engine, weight,etc please

  • I remember this race, it got a little boreing after the 3rd crash, all the yellow flag was a drag, other than that, it was a great race! And a cool one here in Indiana.

  • the brazilian is great. amazing race.

  • DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE FULL RACE?IF so THEN PLEASE UPLOAD IT ASAP. THANKS.

  • Way to keep up with the stereotype you fucking red neck, go back to the trailer park or wherever the fuck you came from!

  • whats wrong with you you fucking redneck are you really this racist and stereotype, what a stupid thing to say about someone who suffered so much he won it cuz he worked for it.

  • i just got back from the honda indy (formerly molson indy) in toronto......and theres not nearly as many crashes as tthis!! i mean dont get me wrong its till exiting but damn wish i could be at one of these!!

  • you're an idiot

  • In my opinion, nothing compares to CART racing between 1988-1994. Sleekest & fastest cars EVER...Emerson Fittipaldi clocked at over 247mph on the back straightaway at Indy in the early 90s. The current IRL cars with stupid F1 scoop are the ugliest! Almost as ugly as the 70s era cars. But names like Foyt, Unser, Mears, Fittipaldi, Sullivan, Andretti shall live forever. Cheers to Helio for his 3rd Indy win! He learned so much from Emmo when he first came.

  • Give some credit to his current mentor as well, the great Rick Mears.

  • You're right. Hopefully the 2011 formula will change that. At least the turbos will come back.

  • too bad it wont be 2011 formula, it will be 2012 formula, dat right 2 more years of this crap on a tv channel nobody knows, Tony said if no profit by 2012 he gonna scrap it. Perhaps it's best after all.

  • Well yeah but ESPN forced IRL to do something with the broadcasts. I mean they were always giving 2 hour limits and so on, yes Versus is less known (way less) but still Versus has to offer more to IRL then ESPN ever did.

  • @ShadowManStudios Absolutely agreed. Bob Jenkins, Robby Buehl, and Jan Beekhuis are very knowledgeable and you get the feeling that Versus give the ICS the time of day. They actually give GOOD interviews, pre and post race and don't make danica out to be the Queen of the World.

  • @yellowbelly70 I can asure you that the turbos will not come back atleast for 10 years if nor more. They were removed due to safety, because with turbo there would be unimaginable speed and the sport would become too dangerous for everybody

  • @yellowbelly70 but they banned turbos in 2011 formula rule say on it cause too fast but it give save gas like use in street cars and production cars.

  • @omgsean2

    In 2013 the V6 Turbos will come. Ecclestone and Todt said that this weekend.

  • @NesoDomino not in 2013, in 2014. Just telling.

  • @lolsokje

    Yep, you are right ^^ Thank you for correcting me ^^

  • idiots

  • an insult to F1 cars

  • must be so intense being in one of those monster machines

  • you want intense, indy car series is not it. Formula 1 is.

  • No passing is not intense.

  • pfft ok yeah sure.

  • Great Race, love going to that race!

  • What a boring race.

  • that was an amazing race to be at very fun

  • i'm french

    i like the race american

    champ car is the best in oval,around 240 250 mph 380 400 km/h the best motor is the v8 ford cosworth.

    the irl is good car but only 650 hp for 3.5l around 230 mph/370 km/h

    F1 is the shit in max speed for power 800 hp around 220 mph/350 km/h but the best on city track.

  • You all should go watch "real" racing and see a National Drag race event, or a Drag Boat Race. That is a "real" sound of Horsepower!

  • Thanks for sharing this :-)

  • i thought u-tube vids were only allowed 2 b no more than 10 mins

  • Man, those on-board cameras are intense. That's what my afternoon drive home looks like!!!!!!!

  • idiots comparing f1, nascar, indycar,le mans, rally, etc. even though that's nearly everyone, i like and watch ALL of them. that's because they all involve their own version of skill, resilience, physical shape, etc. F1 requires the most fit drivers in the fastest race cars today. IRL requires concentration while running wheel to wheel at over 220 mph. NASCAR requires the understanding of the draft, pack racing, 4 wide. they're all different, but all good to me.

  • GTRF1V8, you've just made the most intelligent comment on this entire board.

  • @GTRF1V8 AMEN

  • @GTRF1V8 i could not agree more

  • @GTRF1V8 i'm not a big nascar fan but its gotta take the most endurance, to sit in a nascar for 4 hours in the heat ,during cautions ,no ac

  • @TheLaneyzf Most endurance hands down goes to LMS Series drivers. That is real endurance racing. The 12 hours of SPA, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 Hours of Sebring, those are long long races, and the G forces drivers in those cars encounter is leagues beyond NASCAR. NASCAR is bound to be tough but Le Mans is just in a different category, absolutely brutal. That and F1 massive massive G's in that. Drivers have to be incredibly fit even for shorter races like 4 hour.

  • @GTRF1V8 true that

  • @GTRF1V8 I totally agree with you. A position that all REAL RACE FANS should take.

  • @GTRF1V8 well put My friend...although I'm an open wheel fan and have raced go-karts on a competitive level I find your view refreshing.

  • @GTRF1V8 do you think F1 and Indy car should unite ?

  • that was a good race

  • that was my 1st indy car race

  • In terms of "Greatness" Le Mans is probably the one. Too much FIA drama in F1 recently and F lost it's greatness after Mansell/Stewart/Andretti/Senna­'s era. In terms of size and fanbase F1 is the largest but "greatness" isn't based on how much third world Chinese fans watch and cheer for ferrari. It cares about epicness and 24hr at Le Mans has that.

  • it was nice : ) , but there is nothing greater than F1 in my opinion : D

    1- F1

    2- MotoGP

    3- Rally (including dakar!)

  • f1 is amazing,

    and let's hope for a great race tomorrow

    but i reckon the new fota series would be equal #1 or a even #1 with all but 2 teams leaving the fia series. a shame though. but the good thing is there'd finally be a pinacle motorsport that listens to it's fans.

    rally,dakar and lemans 24 are equal 3rd for me.

    and great pick for motogp being up there with f1 :)

  • sorry guys.. but WRC just kicks all other car racing sports asses :)

    just search "what is rally" :)

  • cool stuff

  • gay ass shit man

  • the indy 500 is an insult to F1 cars.

  • 0:44

    That didn't take long. :P

  • Helio is the best. Congrats and welcome to the 3 time winners club. I hope he makes it 4 or more. There seems to be a real F1 v. IRL dialogue here. I am just glad to have something really cool to watch since Nascar has gotten to be such a joke. Anyone else feel that Nascar has lost touch with their fans?

  • I love this...these cars can go from 0-100-0 MPH in 4 seconds...and they're so aerodynamically perfect that they can drive on the ceiling! Seriously, Look it up asshole.

  • halflifemasta,You are very ignorant,and dont understand much about the "money" of auto raceing.and the fact that F1 drivers come here to make more money and american drivers stay here to make more money.

  • search THE OBAMA DECEPTION

    stop the New World Order

    911 was an inside job

    wake up!!!

  • it must take a lot of skill to go in a circle, f1 is for skilled drivers, not americans and their rednecks with mustangs

  • Helio rocks! =)

  • IRL & F1 are both great sports.....The difference is that IRL is good for the fans,and F1 is good for the race team. There is also more competition in IRL because F1 is all about the car, IRL is all about the driver.

  • Felipe Andreolli was right over there near to the finish line when Castroneves won the race, he screamed out loud.

    The Brazilians pilots rocks!

  • Helio's always been my favorite driver, so glad he won

  • You seem puzzled by shapes. Have you seen a doctor about this phenomenon?

    Your speed perception also seems impaired, judging by your inability to comprehend why driving at almost twice the speed of F1 might result in accidents...

    Very interesting case.

  • Let me explain one thing. Why is F1 called the most important motorsport championship all over the world? Because F1 is the fastest sport.

    And let me think in how many drivers who has recently come from Indy car to F1 has won any title... ANY DRIVER ARRIVED FROM INDY HAS WON TITLES SINCE MARIO ANDRETTI!

  • Your second paragraph (daring me to list IndyCar drivers who've won in F1) doesn't rebut anything I claim here. Maybe you're answering another post?

    Your first paragraph doesn't even hold together logically, let alone factually. (Importance = speed? Then, clearly, Land Speed Record is the most "important" motorsport championship in the world!)

    May I suggest:

    F1 is slower in kph than Indy, yet is still far more important, attracting the best of the best. F1 is about complete mastery.

  • Jacques Villeneuve.

  • Sounds like you just successfully refuted the first statement with the question that followed!

    ;-D

  • Brazilians are THE BEST DRIVERS IN THE WORLD

    SALVO, Piquet, Emerson Fittipaldi, Airton, TONY Canaan, Helio Castro Neves, SENNA, BARRICHELO And I embrace ALL BRAZILIAN

  • Danica is 4th in the championship standing as of right now.

    Can't wait for Texas next week.

  • The Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series are awesome!

  • تمجري

  • all you guys are wrong

    MotoGP. EXCITEMENT!!!!

  • yeah i know right!!??

    how amazing was the last race at catalunya ?

  • Yeah, It's fantastic video

  • I hope he will win the IndyCar Series one day. He won 3-times the Indy 500 and it's time to win the IndyCar Series for Helio Castroneves.

  • with his 3rd win helio joins 

    louis meyer

    wilbur shaw

    marui rose johnny rutherfoerd

    bobby unser

    as members of indy's 3 time winners club

  • what's with the noobs comparing the two ?

    i'm a big f1 fan to the core, and i am also a mechanical engineer with an automotive submajor and i have massive respect for indy and oval racing.

    Turning in at such high speeds with the comprimise of having relatively low downforce settings requires ALOT of skill, one wrong twitch or get too close and lose front end grip or planting the throttle a little too early etc. will get you straight into the wall. no gravel traps here my friend.

  • INDY vs F1?????

    Diferents categories!!!!!!!! And concepts!!!!

    DÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ!!!!!!!!!

  • this is awesome sobrao!!!!!!!!!!!! y tu eres un lambon si chi

  • Great Brazilian driver! Helinho Congratulations!

    We Brazilians have admiration for you!

  • We Turks also admire Heli

    Congratulations

  • fidel castroneves.

  • I from Germany and this is total crazy but i love it.

  • oval racing is one fat deja-vu

  • It is really exciting;

    THEY ARE MAKING A LEFT TURN!

    THEY ARE MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN!

    THEY ARE MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN!

    Indy 500 is a bastardized americanized version of Formula 1 : \

  • Show me an F1 race where the average speed is 215 mph. While you're looking, shutup and stop making stupid arguments

  • Lol, it's not all about average speed. Its about interesting motor racing. It's about cranking a race car around a difficult circuit in the fastest times. Its about difficult and fast turns. This is just a bunch of cars speeding around in a circle, where is the challenge in that??

  • Of course average speed isn't everything, but its exciting. I've been to IRL races and let me tell you, seeing cars whip past you going that fast gives you goosebumps. And don't ever say it's not a challenge. The slightest error at that speed = disaster. I respect F1 just as much as IRL but for different reasons. This is simply a different kind of racing. Learn, then comment.

  • I agree... it's a very good answer!

  • Lol "Learn then comment"... You're a bit arrogant, aren't you? I am just stating my point of view, and my point of view is that this type of race holds no challenge compared to F1 racing, and that it isn't nearly as interesting to watch. F1 is concidered the finest league in racing for a reason you know.. So why don't you learn and then comment??

  • there's no space to achieve souch a speed in F1.... for example in the grand prix of monaco there's only one strip of road on wich the cars reach 300km/h, but it's more prestigious than any indy race. In F1 it's something very spectaculous and alien to indys..it's called the right turn :))). I respect this kind of racing just because it's diffrent from F1 but you can't compare goin' in circles with taking a lefts, rights, hair pins an so on...

  • haha, Jeff Dunham rip-off. You actually think you are being funny?

  • This is so boring, it's like the F1 roundabout.

    Totally pointless.

  • TOMA ESTE AVISO

    1. pon tu dedo en la nariz

    2. deten la respirasion por 5 segundos

    3.di el nombre de tu amor

    4. esa persona te ba a preguntar que si quieres ser su novio(a) el siguiente viernes

    5. tendras el mejor dia manana

    6. sino copias y pasas este mensaje a otros 2 videos tendras mala suerte y muriras en 2 dia

  • interesting

  • This is a competition between drivers. F1 and WRC are mainly about the cars.

  • ...and yes, this is pretty boring.

  • F1 is about the drivers

  • No. That was my point.

  • funny how the commentators have to yell all the time just to keep people at home awake, since this is soooooooooo boring...

  • Maybe you're just another ADD type. Ever thought of some medication so you can concentrate a little?

  • Yea maybe thats it.

    Or maybe there arent enough drugs in the entire univerese that would make me watch a bunch of F1 wannabes drive around in a circle..

    Oh yea before i forget - EPIC comeback IKSHIELDS

  • Try weed. The circular buzzing of the IndyCars is kind of hypnotic when your head is able to spin all the way around with them... :)

    (Sorry, I'm just naturally suspicious of people who always claim to be "bored" by things. It's usually more a reflection of the disconnected dullness of the person than of the qualities of the subject.)

  • "Try weed"

    Read my first reply, thank you:)

    No need to apoligize I am equally suspicious of people who watch these cars drive in a circle for 200 laps. That tends to be a reflection of the persons mind state:)

  • Turn left. They dont even get THAT right several times a race.

    F1 > American Motorsports

  • i like go karts

  • Champ / CART did race ovals (actually the INDY 500 was a CART series until the track was sold).IRL was initially an open wheel, oval track series.

    You cannot compare F1 and IRL since they are two totally different styles, both for the driver and spectator

  • lol

  • IRL sucks dick you faggots!

    CCWS 4 EVAR!

  • OMG wath a silly car sport is this,get a life boys,this is stupid cars driving circles all the time,thats redicelous!!! formula1 ownzzz!!!

  • this really has made my morning :D

  • it's Brasil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lmfao, turn left, turn left, turn left... ah fuck i forgot to turn left!!!! LMFAO!!!!!

  • Helio likely wanted a turbocharged engine in this race.

  • omg he's taking a left turn... omg he's takin a left turn... OMG HE'S TAKIN A LEFT TURN!!!!

  • omg he's turning left. omg he's turning left. OMG HE'S TURNING LEFT!!!!! i'd love to know where you get your stats from SweetPelican as your statements are totally random and untrue. typical yank!!!!

  • Untrue? Avg. Attendance to the 500 with infield seating is just around 500,000. More coverage in more countries than anything else in the world!

  • To those who say F1 is better than this "crap", why then is the Indy 500 the most televised and attended sporting event in the world? Whe was the last time ABC or ESPN covered an F1 race?

  • give it 5 years.. u wont see indy again lol

  • Are you kidding me? Whats going to happen? The 500,000 fans that show up every year are going to lose interest or something. Be realistic. That was an extremely unintelligant comment.

  • because the majority of people who watch it are stupid. and there are ALOT of stupid people in america. they dont televise f1 because no americans would understand it. apparanty the concept of right turns is a mystery to them.

  • hahaa, yeah I agree! It's so boring they all have similar English names like 'Graham'! In F1 (Which I am A huge fan of) they're all foreign and the tracks actually have excitement! They are cars that are spent so much on Down force and technology and then they use them! On the Indy car they do the same but then make the cars go round and round in a circle! it's just boring and is a sport for rednecks to watch. Thats Why I cant believe Scoot Dixon (a fellow New Zealander) is part of this sport!
