The golden years of Indycar: 80`s and 90`s. Fantastic cars and drivers. Good calendar. Races from march until october. I definitly miss those years.

[@marchewitson6191]

Think everyone misses these day, hopefully they will return

[@robminmonaca]

Then Tony George came in and sucked the momentum out of Indycar pretty fast by the end of the decade. To bad the CART owners were to dumb to let Tony George do what he wanted.

[@marchewitson6191]

rob mush this set indycar racing back 20 year I think but I also think things are heading in the right direction now, cars are missing 200 to 300hp but i think indycar is planning on changing that.

[@TheUsmc0802]

@@marchewitson6191 They are but they need to make it more exciting, free up the revs, go back to methanol with the new engine on 21, and open the chassis regs so another player can join in.

[@marchewitson6191]

TheUsmc1488 yes I agree. I think there’s something missing, for me it’s the machinery not being pushed to its limits like it used to be because there’s no competition there, back then the drivers were like test pilots, speed was squeezed out of every part.

[@Mistah2]

this is IndyCar as I remembered it growing up, packed grandstands, different chassis and high revving engines with awesome sound.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Yep now it's just Chevy and Honda with the same Delara engines.

[@aaronisgrate]

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Now its just Dallara with Chevy and Honda engines....i think thats what you meant

[@Trainlover1995]

@@aaronisgrateThe problem is that there's so few chassis manufacturers left. Lola? Gone (though I've heard its reopening next year). Reynard? Gone. March? Gone. Eagle? I don't know how, but they're somehow still around, just not in IndyCar. G-Force? Absorbed into Panoz. Panoz? Only does sports cars now. Riley & Scott? Now known as Riley Technologies, and only does sports cars now. Porsche? Gave up on Indycar. McLaren? Only does F1 now. Watson? Gone. Parnelli? Gone. Chaparral? Gone. Wildcat? Gone. Lightning? Gone. Galmer? Gone. DeltaWing? Their ICONIC concept was too radical a departure. Vollstedt? Gone. IAM? Gone. Coyote? Gone. Finley? Gone. Kingfish? Gone. Antares? Gone. Swift? Hasn't built racecars since 2013. Falcon? Never turned a single lap. The only open wheel customer chassis builders left are Dallara, Stohr, Tatuus, and some other minor manufacturers. Stohr and Tatuus are clearly not up to the challenge of building anything that isn't a chassis for junior categories, and IndyCar doesn't seem to want chassis competition, even though Roger Penske is one of the old CART heads, and he should want to bring that "engineering arms race" back. The only series where teams still develop and build their own chassis these days is F1, which has devolved into "The Red Bull Show" (Ferrari's win this past weekend at Singapore, I can't explain, but at least it wasn't Red Bull).

[@nathanwilliams2152]

I was rooting for Nigel watching this race - he could not catch a break that season. He had chances to win or get big points, as the Penskes, whilst the quickest, were not invincible. Phoenix - made a mistake out of the pits Indy - hit by Dennis Vitolo Detroit - engine Toronto - engine Michigan - throttle New Hampshire - suspension (after colliding with Mario) Vancouver - badly timed pitstop Nazareth - mis-placed pre-load ballast Nigel didn't do himself any favours by refusing to test in the second half of the season, and getting short-tempered on occasion, but since he was going back to F1, he had little to lose.

Engine reliability was really an issue through the 80s and 90s. It was in F1 as well - interesting... the kers stuff looks much more complicated nowadays.

[@armorgeddon]

Yes because the engines were run to the absolute limit while today's engines are restricted in terms of boost, revs, certain materials etc. so they are far less stressed and of course production is much more exact today. The top level series really need to go back to allow constructors fathoming the limits of technology.

[@victoruribe2465]

I want more ovals in 2020. We need Michigan, Fontana, Atlanta, New Hampshire, Puebla, Chicagoland, and Kentucky into the Calendar. I understand that Oval racing is dangerous because of several incidents in the past. But there are risks that every driver has to live with it. Indy Car was created for that purpose. If the sport get more road and street events, the existing ovals excluding the Indy 500 would cease to exist. Take the races that NASCAR doesn’t want to run anymore and replace them into this series. I expect a major transformation when the new decade begins.

[@bétaalfa-g2i]

Oval is too dangerous. Road racing is much better.

[@theflagstand]

@@bétaalfa-g2i Short ovals are not dangerous at all. That's why Indycar should add many short ovals on the schedule because they usually offer good racing and are very safe.

@@jasoncampbell7765 IRP would be awesome, especially if it could be run at night.

[@xSoccerxCorex]

maybe if people bought tickets, they would. the danger is a minor issue considering there are plenty of mile ovals that can run IC. the problem is getting them to the track since IC doesn't give TV money to the tracks to run, while nascar does since they have a bigger TV contract

Michigan was the toughest 500 miles in IndyCar. Mansell, when he won there in 1993 pretty much had to be pulled from the car he was exhausted. IndyCars should go back to Michigan, I think in todays day & age more cars would be able to run the entire 500 mile distance...

[@BlueFox284]

Mansell at this point was out of shape, period. Two years prior at Monaco after dueling with Senna, he was so tired at the podium ceremony he could barely stand. His back injury from '86 didn't help matters much either.

We've traded great cars and dull racing for great racing and dull cars. It's a good trade but its still fun to see these old cars in action even if there's far less on-track action and they breakdown all the time.

[@TheUsmc0802]

I know it's a viscous circle, no fans equal no money, no money equals no fans. Indycar needs to entice manufacturers and sponsors back by spending some money. Look at those full stands. Cars were covered in sponsors, multiple engine manufacturers , and multiple chassis. Free up the rules to entice manufacturers back. Give them a reason. Yes, no manufacturer is going to have a twin turbo eight or six cylinder in their SUV. However racing alows engineers to exercise their brains, trouble shoot, design, and test. It's still a worthy invest.

[@robminmonaca]

TheUsmc1488 but because of Tony George and the split they still don’t want nothing to do with Indycar. I mean Toyota and Ford should be back in Indycar. The series is starting to grow a bit and if they would ever come back it could make the series even bigger. They are wasting so much money in NASCAR when not a whole lot of people care about it anymore. Thank You Tony George for still having the sport of Indycar crippled.

[@sdsmt99]
