The IZOD schedule is already set for next season and there are the usual amount of oval tracks, along with the road and street courses. It remains to be seen if this type of "pack" racing will be solved with the new chassis style and multiple engine manufacturers. It'll be great to see Chevy back in the Indy mix!
excellent racing just wish they would but a roll cage on them like on a topfuel dragster or a supermodified for the drivers safety then its not so scary to watch and they can have at it with less worry of a head and neck injury
@TOPGUNCANADA00 idk if a roll cage is a good idea. What if somehow the cage gets jammed close and all that fuel starts to burn... What they really need are ejector seats lol.
@ispycyanide the safety crews are there to put a fire out in seconds, plus top fuel dragsters have them and they carry as much fuel as the shuttle, plus supermodifieds have them and run methanol and i've never seen it happen in a super plus it can happen just as easy if ur upside down there and ur on fire without a roll cage its not like ur able to lift the car off ur back and climb out.
@walljo05 f1 is more skillfull? every indy driver can go around corners like f1 drivers, but i tell you this not many f1 drivers can do this or even have the courage or the skill the indy driver have to do this.
@walljo05 dont forget indy drivers not just drive around ovals but they also drive on road tracks like f1, f1 is too scared to add ovals. indycar track option is more diverse. puts the best of the two world together nascar and f1 and make them as one, thats why indy is better, not to mention it is the world biggest spectator sport with 300-500 thousand people.
@k4n3n1 Dude, i know, i watch it regularly for Franchitti, Conway and Wilson. However to say its more challenging isnt correct. America never really got f1, which is a shame really considering its the 3rd most watched sport in the world. You also have to consider that bourdais, who dominated champ car, was a nobody in f1, as was andretti when he tried back in 1993. To say one requires more skill is bull shit, because they both require different skills. But i think f1 is the more challenging.
Why did they decide to change the cars after this? '01 '02 and '03 were the best years of modern indycar and then they screw around with the rules messing up the competition for everyone without a crap load of money leaving Penske, Ganassi, and Andretti Green to dominate but in '07 AGR fell and it became a 4 men show
for some reason the design of this track makes for some amazing races: 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009. They talk about cookie cutter tracks but this aint a cookie cutter
For people who like close finishes, you may be interested to learn that the closest ever SIX-vehicle finish was in a Pickup truck race at Rockingham Motor Speedway, when six European pickups finished within .306 seconds of eack other i.e. the sixth finisher was .306 of a second behind the leader. N.B. Rockingham in the UK, not the track in the U.S.A. These European pickup trucks have 230 h.p. engines and average around 133 m.p.h. on the U.K.'s only big oval .
Yeah, Chicago has made some of the closest and best Indy races and finishes. Nascar and Indy are going to work something out so Indy can race here next season. They say it's a 90% change that Indy will be back. WooHoo
@Jussi453 Indycar, Rolex Sports Car series, Grand AM series, NHRA drag racing, even NASCAR runs road courses. That's just to name a few, there is a host of others aswell.
@Jussi453 US and Canada have some of the best classic tracks around the world, better than 3/4 of the Tilke F1 tracks. Like Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Road America, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Mosport, Mid Ohio, Barber, Infineon, Sebring, etc..
hey, just let the US guys watch their oval racing. They are manipulated by the system and are not allowed to watch other racing. For all others there are F1, GP2, DTM, BTCC, WTCC, IRC, WRC...
@vroomba03 I just made a joke to break that stupid discussion. I like watching nascar via live stream now and then, but personally I think oval racing is way overrated in US. I liked the old champ car series as it had lots of road tracks
@STP43FAN1 Which takes much more skill than turning left and then flattening throttle. In Formula 1, you can't even breath when cornering at that amount of downforce.
@Cycofoo1914 The hell it does. In F1 the car does ALL the work - the driver cannot make a bad car pass anyone. On ovals we see drivers who can make weaker cars take the lead.
thanks for opening my eyes. I had no idea the car was the driver.
Mark Webber went from P18 to P3 at shanghai GP a few days ago.
No matter how you put it, there is no skill comparison - F1 to IRL/Nascar
I mean... Straight! Left! Straight! Straight!...oh wait Left! shit now I lost time!
The research/development is completely null in those US series it's hilarious. There aren't good cars and bad cars in IRLNascar. You just cant compare. Gp2 is more entertaining than Indy and Nascar
@Cycofoo1914 You had and have no idea what racing is.
Mark Webber's CAR took him from 18th to 3rd - he didn't do it.
No matter how you put it, racing where the driver is not outfighting the field, where the driver simply has to let his car keep him in the lead, has zero competitive legitimacy. Racing without lead changes has no value. F1 to IRL/NASCAR is always a loss for F1.
Gp2 is worthless. Racing is about drivers, not cars. Lead changes are more relevent than R&D any day of the week.
actually webber was able to go from 18 to 3 because he had an extra set of soft tyres saved up as he didnt get through Q1. webber has a very good car but the tyres and tactics is what is making f1 this season really good. indycar drivers dream of getting an F1 seat, not the other way around.F1=the pinnacle of motorsport, indycars=poor mans sundayleague
id love to see these tin pot indycars fly through chicanes at 200 miles an hour and see how hard they end up in row z of a grand stand
@freshcelery Chicanes are not racing. Period, end of debate. Racing is about superspeedway sidedrafting to the win. The tyres helped, but the bottom line remains the driver in F1 is just a token. It's the technology arms race that is the key, and it's not racing.
left turns, and more left turns, thats not racing. if your ambition is to do something like that then you should just become a train driver
and you just contradict yourself by saying that super speedway side drafting is real racing because indycars do race on street tracks, you know those tracks where they dont turn left all the time yet still manage to make the cars look depressingly piss poor? it takes no skill to turn left = fact
@freshcelery Left turns is harder when you're racing someone. Street tracks are not racing because they stymie passing. It takes more skill to sidedraft than to race a street course - THAT, not your epistle, is fact.
@freshcelery, Turning left into a turn at over 220 MPH at least and you say that takes no skill? Fact: faster speeds are run on ovals, you have to deal with the balance of the car more on ovals meaning you actually have to drive a little bit. Not to mention, the most famous track in the world is an oval.
@freshcelery lol thats why all the road racers cant win on ovals right? XD Road racing fans are so one sided and stupid! They dont understand nothing about oval racing because they dont want to, and thats called ignorance. Its a fact that oval racing is by far more competitive than road racing.
its more "competitive" because it's lacking in skill and is competed by competitors who are also lacking in skill so they congregate in indycar. only a simpleton would say that racing in ovals is more difficult than racing at tracks like monaco or spa. obviously f1 hasn't been too much of a failure if it's the most watched motorsport in the world with races all over the world and even more countries lining up to get their chance. seems to me that f1 is still beasting
@freshcelery the speed these cars do is awesome - I would very much like to see you hold a car going 225mph on the correct line when going into a banked turn. If it is not your sport then so be it but do not criticise the drivers who race these cars, remember there doing it your only watching it.
@freshcelery lol you act like NASCAR isnt doing well at all! And see you just proved my point by saying oval racing lacks in skill! You obviously know nothing about oval racing and the mechanics of it and you show no effort to understand it, but yet you want to have an opinion on it again thats called ignorance. I never said road racing wasnt hard. They both take there own set of skills, why do you think all your precious and skilled road racers cant win on ovals?
@Cycofoo1914 If you don't like oval racing, your prob. But even the road racing is better on NASCAR and IndyCar.
In fact NASCAR Road Races are the best of all. To skill, you obviously have no clue of the NASCAR physics if you think it doesn't require any skill. It's more than just straight left straight left like you say. And to R&D: the R&D in F1 ruins the racing and just wastes tons of money. Everything on F1 sucks, the cars, the drivers, the short race distances. F1 is a total failure
@Cycofoo1914 well fuck you and fuck your formula 1 shit. 3 fucking wide racing and finishes like this can't be beaten by gay ass racing like fagmula 1, you can see the fucking lap 1 and you can say who's going to win. is so fucking predictable. f1 is like "yes barrichello is going to win, last turn and he's winning, oh wait he's braking so schumacher can pass and win, schumacher wins this cause the team fucked barrichello and f1 is a pile of steaming shit"
@Cycofoo1914 And you've been in an F1 cockpit? It's not downforce in that instance, it's G force. Also, given your glib analysis of something that you're defending, the flattening of the throttle comment is obviously even less informed. All racing requires different skill sets.. As you may not know, F1 and open wheel drivers do not easily obtain success (if any) when they compete in any NASCAR series.
Wow, this is exciting. Jeez I'm ashamed of being american. We're getting psyched and excited about driving in circles, and the Europeans are doing 1st gear corners after 7th gear straightaways, Indy cars can and do suck it.
I typically don't have much respect for Yasakawa, but for going three wide in the middle and not touching anyone, I give him a lot of respect for that tid bit of driving.
4 people disliked this video. Now we know that 4 out of every 67,000 people are blind and deaf. Not to offend anyone, but how can anyone see this video and hit the dislike button?
@rams211100 IRL didn't like what ISC was doing with promoting their series so they kicked all the ISC tracks off the 2011 schedule That also includes Homestead, Kansas, and The Glen.
I didn't know anything about Indy Car but I am surprised to see the cars race on an oval, always turning to the left. Just my opinion but that seems a little strange to always be turning in the same direction. The cars must be constructed and set up to race specifically on that principle.
i'm french, and in Europe we don't have oval races, only Formula 1 (that i love) but i can say that it's the most amazing finish that i never seen, really exciting !
PS: hope to see F1 back in USA and an American driver in F1 (the last was Scott Speed and he sucked...)
@nandoguily nascar is more popular here but Im more interested in seeing F1 races. Im not sure why the people at IndyCar and F1 dont figure something out.
Remember these finishes guys. They aren't like this anymore. I was there in 2002 and every year since. the racing is still good, it is still close, but these final laps are some of the most exciting we will ever see.
This was the type of racing that could have taken the indycar series to the next level in popularity if it could have kept this type of intense racing. This was one of the IRL's strong points. It was their "diamond in the rough" and even this couldnt last unfortunately. The top teams just dominate now.
Now this was tremendous ! Respect for the fair play of these drivers, because the danger was really enormous. This is what we like to see. Chilling but great to watch. Bravo !
why is wreck at the line not a good finish? what could be more exciting than that? and please show some respect to ppl with open minds about ALL forms of racing. keep your narrow-minded comments to yourself
honestly nascar and the irl are both exciting, f1 somewhat exciting its just that they dont get that many close finishes or just some good ol' racing as the irl or nascar
wow, what a finish. But honestly, in Indycar there's more about tactics who is going to win the race, not about how good the driver/car are working together. You might compare this to how Italy played the Catenaccio in the 70s

In fact NASCAR Road Races are the best of all. To skill, you obviously have no clue of the NASCAR physics if you think it doesn't require any skill. It's more than just straight left straight left like you say. And to R&D: the R&D in F1 ruins the racing and just wastes tons of money. Everything on F1 sucks, the cars, the drivers, the short race distances. F1 is a total failure

@Cycofoo1914 well fuck you and fuck your formula 1 shit. 3 fucking wide racing and finishes like this can't be beaten by gay ass racing like fagmula 1, you can see the fucking lap 1 and you can say who's going to win. is so fucking predictable. f1 is like "yes barrichello is going to win, last turn and he's winning, oh wait he's braking so schumacher can pass and win, schumacher wins this cause the team fucked barrichello and f1 is a pile of steaming shit"

@Cycofoo1914 And you've been in an F1 cockpit? It's not downforce in that instance, it's G force. Also, given your glib analysis of something that you're defending, the flattening of the throttle comment is obviously even less informed. All racing requires different skill sets.. As you may not know, F1 and open wheel drivers do not easily obtain success (if any) when they compete in any NASCAR series.

@Donfrak Are you kidding? In F1 they're afraid to fight to win; here they're fighting to win and the result is endless passing.

it's the closeness of the three finishers and not the racing format that i intended to comment on.
it was not my intentions to cause upset to anyone or their preferred racing formats.
i've rudely been called 'idiot' by one fellow youtuber for my comment. which is uncalled for and unjust.

Wow, this is exciting. Jeez I'm ashamed of being american. We're getting psyched and excited about driving in circles, and the Europeans are doing 1st gear corners after 7th gear straightaways, Indy cars can and do suck it.

I typically don't have much respect for Yasakawa, but for going three wide in the middle and not touching anyone, I give him a lot of respect for that tid bit of driving.

I didn't know anything about Indy Car but I am surprised to see the cars race on an oval, always turning to the left. Just my opinion but that seems a little strange to always be turning in the same direction. The cars must be constructed and set up to race specifically on that principle.

Remember these finishes guys. They aren't like this anymore. I was there in 2002 and every year since. the racing is still good, it is still close, but these final laps are some of the most exciting we will ever see.
drewski31683 1 year ago
This was the type of racing that could have taken the indycar series to the next level in popularity if it could have kept this type of intense racing. This was one of the IRL's strong points. It was their "diamond in the rough" and even this couldnt last unfortunately. The top teams just dominate now.
