Sebastien Bourdais on board

[szerdahelyigyerek007]

car race on an airport? wtf !?

[Ferrari123planb]

lol stick shift

[maurizio864]

i can not see the corners. the track so big

[mikee19861]

yea champ car its more competitive

[Grayqboufan]

so...whats the point in comparing lap times between f1 and champ car (R.I.P.)? they're (were) completely different series with completely different philosophies. champ cars weighed on average about 500lbs more than f1 cars did with roughly the same amount of horsepower. f1 also had ridiculous downforce because they had ridiculous budgets. ($400 million + for ferrari in 2004) so who the hell cares which series was faster at a particular track? they're both fun to watch.

[GTRF1V8]

isn't it funny how the same thing that makes f1 so great (speed, handling, aero), makes it so dull sometimes.

[epyon144]

wow i just notice that he use the same helmet design in f1 and champcar.

[SpaceCelte]

But Formula 1 is more boring than the late ChampCar ! I'm a motorsports frencg fan and i can say that Formula 1 , actually , is not the summum of motorsports today ! I prefer American Le Man Series . For me the ALMS is the best racing cars series I've ever seen with the 70's/80's/90's formula 1's eras and of course , the late ChampCar

ofcorse u do u french twat

[andriusssska]

But F1 is so much quicker

[SleazerXtime]

F1 was only 6 seconds on Montreal 2006. With a much lighter and newer car.



Fernando Alonso: 1:14.942 (2006 car)

Sébastien Bourdais: 1:20.005 (2002 car)

[samsemtex]

6 seconds is pretty substantial espiecially on a power circuit like montreal where the f1 car wont show its true superiority because there arent as many slow-medium speed corners.

[RIEKSONE]

@samsemtex

yeah but they actually racing in champ car

[Frol3R]

Even GP2, A1 GP are faster than champ car, and champ cars are so ugly , impossible to compare, Aero doesn't exist in champ car in F1 the cars are made like aircraft and ths a huge difference, its is not even a question of power cause rules don't want f1 cars to go faster fo security reasons, champ car what a joke, Nascar what a joke, even karting is more entertaining lol

[jraybay]

And What is the point? they are two different series.

[marek0086]

imagine driving that thing!!  Mark my words... one day, i dont know how, i dont know when, but one day i will drive a Champ Car!

[Akkain]

If you've never raced anything before, I would suggest the first place to start is look up a local SCCA group and do some Solo2. It's a good way to get introduced into actually racing. You can use your own car no matter what it is. There is a catagory for it. Then I would go to the tracks and follow the sport, try to do some carting. Anything to get experiance.

[marek0086]

im just talking crap. i dont mean i actually want to get into champ car racing....i meant, i would just really like to drive one on a track for a day or something.

So much better than F1!

Keep making those Hyundai's, mate!!

[Akkain]

Tracks like Fontana have schools where you can race in a two seater for a day or some arrangement. It's good for a thrill.

[lukehamiltonphoto]

hey hey you uploaded my video :D

[ryanguibbs]

thanks lukecart1

[lukeCART1]

good post ryanguibbs any champ car onboards are good.

[zdriver925]

totally agree great post and great driver

[DominicanOps]

Don't watch Champ Car so excuse my ignorance, but do those cars use paddle shifters like F1 cars?

[kartracer4444]

Yes they do, brand new this year too in fact.

[lukeCART1]

in 2007 they have. before that it was a sequential gear box

[khrisinfo]

Were to buy sequential gear box .

[marek0086]

outrageously expensive for a sequential gear box.

[khrisinfo]

F1cars lol. I watch champcars and champcars it rocks.

[ryanguibbs]

Je crois que pour le Top Team c'est rapé avec la future signature chez Toro rosso mais pour mettre la "patée" aux Toyota, Honda et autres Williams c'est le meilleur choix!

[Blundell83]

Que la F1 le prenne l'an prochain !!! Un top team tant qu'à faire.. Et il enterrera Hamilton et l'autre gros con d'Alonso

[kartracer4444]

Je ne sais pas si il peut battre l'équipe de McLaren Mercedes avec le Toro Rosso, ce n'est meme pas dans la meme ligue. Aussi Lewis Hamilton a un immense talent.

[VonVoltage]

Great video, thanks. Bourdais... so underrated, I consider him one of the world's best.

[kartracer4444]

I totally agree with you. He can race anything, from the Champ Car World Series to the American Le Mans Series in both the GT2 and LMP1 cars. I had the opportunity to meet him at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve during the 2006 Champ Car World Series Grand Prix of Montreal, nice guy.

[AyrsenF1]

Yep, he's a great driver, he's too much for the champ car series, it's going to be awesome to see him in Formula 1, I know he'll do all right.

I wish him the best.

[MatteoMi1979]

Fantastic Bourdais!!
