The sound of the engine's and outright speed is what I miss most of the hey days of Cart . The size of the crowd and the packed infield. You can thank Tony George for the split . Indy car still hasn't recovered.

[@codyeungard]

Not wrong, but old wounds, let's appreciate what we have got and encourage a new chassis. Although contradicting myself, my favorite racecar memory is hearing F1 practice walking up to IMS, I'll never forget that sound and my excitement as I started running to the entrance.

[@Spike-sk7ql]

@@codyeungard yes. The absolute best engine sound was those F1 cars at IMS. Went to every F1 race there, even had a good time in 05, since it was the only win Schumacher got that year, no matter how much of a farce it was. The most ground shaking experience is a nitro car, the best sound were the F1 cars spinning 19,000 rpm.

[@jimries625]

Get over it. Respectfully. Bandwagon.

[@odkdsjf]

CART 1996 - 2002 was the best. It will never be like that again.

[@TheMadMonk9]

Bullshit. You can thank ALL of them for their shortsighted behavior and the SAME MEN that tried it in 78.....and 96.....are the same men that own it all now.

[@Bob_Shy_132]

240 mph qualifying speed gets peoples' attention even 25 years later.

[@lazier96]

Those cars were bullets. Look at the packed stands.

[@nyrmetros]

CART Champcars..... The greatest IndyCars ever!

[@joshherman4214]

I was there 7 years old amazing experience I’ll never forget how fast those cars went and those sounds

[@matthewmcsweeney5996]

This race means that IndyCar has uploaded all five races that PacWest Racing won and all three races that Mark Blundell won. This turned out to be the last win for Mercedes-Benz from CART that didn't come from Greg Moore. This was the only podium for Lola in 1997 and their last for two years. I want to see more races from the late 1990s.

[@homeperson11244]

Well it wasn't full factory effort tho. Mercedes was just a sticker while the actual engine was mainly developed by Ilmor. But Imagine if Mercedes was still here... They probably bankrupted IndyCar, but they'd bring spectacle to the sport.

[@JamiesonCurrie]

Greg Moore!! It took me 15 years to come back to racing as an adult after his loss. I love seeing these classic races!

[@sheilasembly-crum8447]

A very painful loss.

[@RussellAutosport]

Indycar needs more speedways and all ovals should run the full boost they get in Indy qualifying

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks Indycar for the upload.

[@LeandroGaarcia]

This is it real car Race! Beautiful cars

[@canemreakay8941]

Old good days. We miss Cart World Series..

[@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498]

1997 cart Championship season

[@jacekatalakis8316]

The race had, IIRC, two names. THe Marlboro 500 as seen in the title was used on some occasions, but the tightening up of cigarette advertising laws meant for TV it was the Cart World Series or California 500, similar to the Michigan/Marlboro 500 naming. This led, in 1999 to the race simply being shown on TV as ... The 500 Yes. That was a thing. I do miss the old Fontana track, and wish Indycar would block turning it into a short track and get back to this style of racing. Say what you want about the Hanford Device, and up to the Mk3, but it did its job. They hit 240+ at Michigan earlier in 97, CART was rightly concerned they were going too fast and took measures to slow down the cars or 97 and onwards leading to the reduced boost, changing up the tunnels under the cars and, yes, the Handford Device on the rear wing. Now do we have Michigan 2000, which is the perfect example of how that device worked, in the classics series?

[@MyHumanWreckage]

Greg Moore RIP

[@TimWan93]

Indycar is becomimg more and more like F1 by driving almost only on street and road courses. They need more ovals like Michigan, Fontana, Milwaukee, Chicagoland etc.

[@hawlikd]

Going 240 MPH is so insane. I thought F1 was fast!

[@davidbarker8354]

More CART!

[@javieravina6082]

Exelente carrera,se extrañan estos años sin dudas!

Team is up

[@joseluismg3628]

Ojalá pronto podamos tener carreras en español latino Indycar. Sería excelente

[@DrColoso]

Lo mismo digo, trato de encontrar más carreras en español latino pero a mi parecer es muy poco en comparación a obviamente las carreras en inglés, esta el canal IndyCar para latinos pero ellos tienen hasta el 2018, les falta la temporada 2012, 2010 entre otras, IndyCar al día durante la pandemia subió algunas carreras pero inexplicablemente las quitaron, no somos los pocos en latinoamerica que nos gusta la IndyCar, por ende y por derecho tenemos que tener más videos con relatos de nuestro lado.

[@conradtestamark212]

Indy ppg should of brought out the yellow flag, to stop the race. Jimmy vaster should have won the race.this bring me back to nascar with Mark mortin and Hendrick race. Mark was leaning the race on the final lap . It had a crush and nascar didn't bring out the yellow flag. And havick pass mark Martin and won the race. That is not far at all to both drivers .mark and Jimmy vaster.

[@wan7ucxOqSUBryTgfpBr7777]

a real men race, overtaking opponents without the help of a mechanically-adjusted rear wing ...... Ok, bully me if you dont agree

[@codyeungard]

While I don't disagree, I'm curious why you are so fearful of modern F1 fan criticism. One of my sadnesses is that while I got to see many nascar races at Michigan (similar config to Cali), I never saw an Indy race there. However I did get to see those close races at Chicagoland and that is what made me start following Indycar thru today.

[@kozawayoshi2582]

Please prepare Japanese commentary Please be sloppy when delivering only English commentary In which country is NTT a company? If I don't prepare Japanese, I will stop watching IndyCar.
