2006 Grand Prix of Road America

[@DavidLand91]

Right Now - The perfect IndyCar rock song.

[@Saturn185]

hello David Land =)

[@Kreeschon]

Yeah for 1990. It was 2006 at the time, I ain't feeling it, and I love me some Van Hagar.

[@TheRacingMemes]

Nice upload. When Da Matta and Legge had horrific crashes. Oh Road America! Great Road Course

[@hayden4597]

The Racing Memes what happened to Da Matta? Did he crash in like practice of the weekend or something?

[@Posirep]

@@hayden4597 he hit a deer in a practice/test session.

[@billymc2681]

Great upload! I was a fan of the old CCWS but after watching this race, some 15 years later, the competition is definitely watered down.

[@NotSteveCook]

Besides Juan Cacares, everyone in this race is a competent racer, either before or after 2006. Even Tonis Kasemets and Charles Zwolsman Jr won Atlantic races, and Dan Clarke won the Formula Ford Festival.

[@kennethterry8196]

Love Me some Classic INDYCAR races no matter The year. Simply awesome to watch. THANKS!!!

[@BH28Racing]

It’s ChampCar, not IndyCar.

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks Indycar. Great upload.

[@matthewmcsweeney5996]

A.J. Allmendinger’s penultimate Champ Car start and his last victory of his Champ Car Career. He was replaced by Buddy Rice for the last race of the season at Mexico City.

[@MathRaven1910]

Oh yeah!!,Champ Car,please Indycar posting the 2006 Grand Prix of Denver after this,i' so ancious to watch Tracy vs Bourdais last lap battle

[@motorcityoctane6713]

Saw this live & thought Katherine Legge was seriously injured, then she popped out the the care center smiling!!

[@TiagoGLopes]

An excellent news, sure. I was aprehensive about her.

[@thejanusproject32]

That was a scary crash for sure. And she was doing SO well in that race! Her finish would've been incredible. And it wasn't her fault at all, theoretically its a mechanical issue with the rear wing just leaving. Man...

[@andyberridge6455]

Really like 👍 Road America 🇺🇸 plenty of room for good racing.

[@michaelskoomamacher5652]

Yes! Pls moar classic ChampCar uploads!

[@Cynon]

Bourdais in his prime was magical.

[@sergiof1lg]

1:40:31 Katherine Legge Crash

[@thejanusproject32]

interesting to compare that Champ Cars in 2006 were still manual shifting, and the F1 cars in 2006 already had paddle shifting.

[@FormulaFox]

Sequential shift, not full manual - very simple step up to paddle shifting(which they did the subsequent year).

[@thejanusproject32]

@@FormulaFox Ahh, cool cool. Thanks

[@NotSteveCook]

F1 cars had paddle shifters in the early to mid 90s. Champ Car began using them in 2007, and the IRL in 2008.

[@kennethcuyvers4851]

​@@NotSteveCook first paddle shift car mclaren mp4-12 1988 just to inform u have a nice day everyone

[@DrColoso]

​@@kennethcuyvers4851really? What I can understand, it was the Ferrari 640 in 1989 the first car to use semi automatic gearbox

[@joesworldadventures7728]

AHHHH Memories!!!!

[@NickG40]

13:00 for the start.

[@JJFDNY]

Remember being there very very well! 🏁🏁❤👍

[@pauloluciomachadodebrito8107]

Last open wheel race for a Lola in a Major series at US soil. First Lola win came with Mario in 83, in Elkhart Lake also.

[@ForsytheGaming]

Holy cow, you're uploading the ChampCar races?! ty ty ty (biased)

[@NotSteveCook]

1:11:45 Timmy Megenbier climbed up to USF2000 in 2011, finishing 6th in the championship. Never graduated to Star Mazda or Indy Lights, though.

[@nachoalvarez7171]

Nick Neri also competed in Formula Lites and the Atlantic Championship

[@渡部大地-n9w]

I love both Indycar and F1.

[@highlander5521]

i love these era!

[@myz06rocks]

My bod… did the interviewer really ask, “is everything hunky dory?” Legend.

[@DiogoYoshida]

I Saw this live too and I thought Katherine Legge had gone after that horrible crash! Glad she came out of that ok!

[@sunchaser4754]

Lola was beautiful

[@Bebrun13]

I was at this race in the stands in turn 5. We heard it was a very bad crash and for a while we we worried if she lived. It was great to hear she was in good shape. I had a close call in turn 5 a few years ago in the Indy lights race. I am the brown hat that jumps during the crash. Look at "Scary crash at Road America"

[@sandromiguel6061]

Such a young Will Power

[@farizavianto4990]

The year of 2006 was a storylines of GTA 2.

[@ElectoneGuy]

Low car count, lots of "unknown" drivers. Champ Car really struggling at this point. Sad to see.

[@Kreeschon]

17 car grid. Yikes

[@BH28Racing]

I mean it’s ChampCar and not IndyCar so that’s when IndyCar was starting to rise and ChampCar was starting to die out I believe.

[@NotSteveCook]

@@BH28Racing Both were floundering at the time. The IRL had only 19 cars in most 2006 races.

[@joemannari4545]

I thought she was dead when I first saw the crash

[@camrsr5463]

2:30:36 pale lips.. lmao

[@carlospontes2629]

Champ car 🤮. Piores temporadas.

[@Saturn185]

porque?

[@JacksonCharvelRULE]

I was at this race and almost got run over by Paul Newman in the infield LOL
