  • He had a very good team Newman/Haas and the best engines: Cosworth XB engine, very, very reliable and powerful engine and he is one of the bravest Driver alltime

  • @samothsamothsamoth The Penske 1994 pushrod Mercedes-Benz 500I engine wasn't bad either, designed and developed for the single race of Indianapolis, exploiting a loophole in different technical rules between the Indy 500 and CART sanctioning bodies at that time.

  • Thanks for posting that. Very interesting, and Nigel is very qualified to speak on this.

  • Mansell was an awesome driver. Amazing how he came over from F1 right after winning the championship, and even more impressive is how he held both the F1 & CART titles at the same time. In this day and age can anyone imagine Hamilton or Kimi departing F1 after winning the title to come over and race in Indy?

  • @TheAirsoftmadman I see you have spent many years perfecting your literature.

  • great video and thank you for posting, it really takes me back to when I was a kid going to cart races at nazareth. Golden years of american open wheel racing back then.

  • @TheAirsoftmadman Wrong. F1 isnt faster in a straight line in 2011, its faster around a proper circuit. Back then F1 was as fast as an Indy down a straight, but still it was miles faster around a proper circuit

  • what are the chances that the new chassis and engines will bring back the good old days? One can dream.

  • In 2011 f1 is faster but back in these days they where

  • Good old CART days...

  • those where the best looking indy cars, todays cars look goofy

  • @tinySHINEY1 In 1996, Paul Tracy recorded a trap speed of 256.948 mph (413.52 km/h) at Michigan International Speedway which i think is still the world record

  • @ACOWproductions

    Shumi said it wasn't challeging enough.

  • It was a shame to see him leave CART so quickly. He brought so many new eyes to the sport.
