Tried to see how this was somehow dirty...but cannot. If I was Herta I would chalk it up to getting owned by a superior driver. Absolutely brilliant.

@KeselowskiTheMan Youd see a much better race than Sonoma, thats for sure.

I've raced here in rFactor and it's amazing how accurate the model for the track is. Even the little bumps in the chicane is in the game. This was a cool clip!

@linuxuser29448 I think I'm still the only person who thinks that was BS :) he put Bryan in a position to crash or get out of the way... he did that a lot (to Bryan in particular) and many other drivers while in CART... fun to watch I suppose but as a racer it pisses me off. That said, I've met Alex before and he is a class guy! I'm just not a fan of his race tactics

IRL may have purchased Champ car/CART and won that battle, but I believe Champ Car/CART ultimately has won the war. Consider the changes: IRL name replaced by Indycar, road courses and street circuits outnumber ovals, increasing international drivers and circuits, multiple engine suppliers and while only one chassis constructor, multiple aero kit designers. Hmm looks nothing like IRL!

/watch?v=Ie_R1H9L4eI goes with the final lap.

@LessThanSte Why did Tony George have to kill IndyCar??? He'll never be forgiven for that! Just hope that Dallara did a decent job with the car this year. Cannot believe it's still a freaking spec series! What was it like to watch true IndyCar racing back in the day? Cause I was only 3 years old when this happened

@bobertbrown every time i see a video like this, i hate the IRL a little bit more!

He cut the damn corner. That isn't a pass.

Awesome overtake!!! I love the corkscrew and i never saw a bad ass overtake like this in such a hard corner like the corkscrew
No way would that be considered a "completed pass" according today's racing rules, but this was 15 years ago... Damn, that was brilliant.

C.A.R.T. was such an awesome, talented series, it's a shame the indycar "won" the battle. openwheel racing in america is just a shell of what it used to be
