Some of the best looking racecars ever....the mid-1990's IndyCars. Lolas, Reynards, etc.

Some of the best sounding racecars ever...the Cosworths, Chevys, Merc-Benz, those Menard/Buick V6s, all with turbos.

...as much as I preferred the IRL over CART with the American talent and the 500 race, WTF was Tony thinking?

At least he's gone. And yes, the IRL really IS CART 2.0, but weaker and diluted.

Let's hope the 2012 IRL rule changes recreate the glory....

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I never got to see the 1995 500....

"100 years ago, America's first automobile race... The spectators followed the race on foot. Today 33 drivers will power their machines at speeds of 240 MPH, in front of 1/2 a million people. Whose name will be added to the old silver cup?"

Just hearing the command to start engines, the sights, the sounds, takes me back to an amazing time in indycar racing...which makes it that much more of a travesty that it was destroyed and would not ever be the same. as mentioned by fleshwoundNPG the variety of cars, drivers, engines, storylines it truly was a spectacle of racing at indy thru the mid 90's and again a travesty all of this came crashing down and ended by tony george.

@fleshwoundNPG what rule changes will/have they put in place for 2012?

[Projectekon]

its funny the way this race started for Robby Gordon, to think if it didn't happen he likely could have won

[rodrally]

Many many thanks for uploading this piece of history!

The very last IndyCar real battle at Indy500 with great drivers, chassis and engines! Incredible season!

Regards from Chile, land of the #7 Cristal-Copec Lola Cosworth of Eliseo Salazar!

who in row 8 had won the indy 500?

Lazier did not win until 1996 and I do not remember either Salazar or Boesel winning it

@jazzbo1974 the Indianapolis 500 will keep it because it is Indy tradition. Should they rid Carburetter day too?

[jazzbo1974]

I think they need to get rid of the 11 rows of 3 they never seem to end up that way at the start hell during a reg indy car race they cant seem to start two buy two whats the use of haveing two buy if they just go sing file buy the start finsh line ..........

Awesome man, thanks for uploading. Great to see Villeneuve doing what he does best, drive the wheels off his car to win!

@fleshwoundNPG Well, tell you what he was thinking. 2 thing: first, the 500 was under the rule of USAC and not CART. This explain the little Mercedes winning the race in 1994 ;) Technicaly, this was not really over but they was a peaceful agreement, which was stupid (79-80 problem still there).

2nd: smaller team had problems in the early 90's; cart was dominated by Penske, Patrick racing and Newman Hass... His series was to be a cheap solution.

I guess he did not expect the present situation ;)
