CART 1999 Round 10 Road America

[@TheUsmc0802]

I cant get enough of this old series. Im not a wishful nostalgia type at all. CART is what got me into racing, Listen to those engines SCREAM, they were violent, sexy, and fun to watch. In cockpit views of drivers now is boring. Watch these guys try to manhandle 900HP + with one hand while they shift with the other. Get rid of the engine limits, bring back methanol, and run what you brung!!!

[@sasa32802]

i miss sound of these engines,that was pure row power

[@lerxst88]

This is probably the only time in my life I could say I enjoyed the commercials as much as the racing! I agree with the previous comments; this is the pinnacle of CART!

[@djrafaga]

I had been looking for that DeFerran commercial for ages (17:14)....thanks a lot!

[@RIEKSONE]

i like 90's Motorsport Nascar , F1 and CART good times

[@zachcatanzareti]

crazy how much motorsports has changed. The indycars and especially stock cars in nascar look amazing today but the best the cars ever looked were in the 80s and 90s.

[@mikea3273]

When racecars was real.

[@303storm]

Mike A *were

[@keithvnumber1]

+Mike A... was... were who GAF!! Doesn't change the fact that what you said is SO TRUE!!!

[@petertimowreef9085]

Man what a time to be alive! I am from Europe, imagine how much effort it would've cost me if I wanted to see these excellent races prior to youtube... 12:42 Hey! 3D Pinball space cadet!! 90s nostalgia complete.

[@PeterMayer]

what a sound!

[@doginu]

Whenever I feel down, I watch these old Cart races. Montoya destroying Michael makes my day....

[@JJFDNY]

I was there and remember these days well. 🏁❤🏁

[@Yeshaq]

I miss these days. Love the TV Production. One of the Things I loved STARTING GRID WITH ACTUAL CARS SHOTS FROM SAME WEEKEND. Awesome Footage thanks for posting.

[@PeterMayer]

Even though this new F1 track in Austin will be a class A facility, I will always love going to Road America. Especially when CART was there!

[@PeterMayer]

185 miles per hour in the Kink

[@vinrusso821]

They used to go flat out though there . A good site is Nigell mansell explaining the course, as the record lap at the time is being ran. It's so precise, balls out around the carousal. It's a must see on You Tube for those that haven't seen it.

[@PeterMayer]

I love that back straight away

[@PeterMayer]

I saw cart and champ car starting in 95 to 2007. God they would rip

[@frankfiocco8004]

Aussie fan here. Watched '99 till bout '04 seasons. Favourite U.S. track. Sick specs era.

[@remaster1981]

Absolutely exceptional racing. The cars were great, the drivers were great, the tracks were awesome. Add the great paul page and what you get is truly memorable!!!

[@chazzman28]

These races with these drivers were epic. The cars were fast and they looked fast. I don't think it will be repeated any time soon.

[@TheUsmc0802]

I think the new cars are looking better and that the v6 sounds good, then I watch this and remember what real race car drives and cars looked and sounded like 😞

[@TheCarlsonsRaiders]

Love Road America.

[@TheUsmc0802]

Indycar needs to watch ALL of these races. This was the golden age of American Open wheel before the greedy owners AND TG ruined it. Duplicate the rules to alow THIS to come back, and due what ever it takes to keep the manufactures happy! Cosworth/Ford please come back, we need you!

[@IcemanFXX09]

One thing I miss today, and it's probably a bit tedious, but I really miss the music ABC had. The heavier intro, and the dramatic string and brass arrangements from the commerical bumpers...made things a bit more captivating. ABC/ESPN's use of the crappy current pop music is garbage...they had it right playing things like AC/DC's Hells Bells and Alice In Chains during some of the NASCAR intros, but apparently that was too good of an idea for the beancounters at ABC Networks. Ignoramuses.

[@silverarrow7626]

Absolutely agree! The ABC intro and music in between commercials made the races feel like an EVENT. Good times!

[@qddawn]

sexiest cars ever !! I loved the days when they actually ran real road courses. now every race is a p.o.s street course with no straights and 90degree turns, not to mention they are always shitty courses cars flying in the air over rr tracks adding random chicanes, track surface coming up....COME ON !!!....zzzzz

[@damonshill1980]

awesome keep them coming mate have you got cart 1996 season would be great to watch all of that season thanks anyway

[@otoot8198]

24:49 REAL race start

[@vinrusso821]

This was the year the lap record was broken. either 99 or 2000. Team Mean Green with Dario Franchinni ran a 1.38., which is extremely fast. I would say on a Track like this, today's F1 cars wouldn't break it. Ferrari has the track record at Laguna Seca by 1/10th of a second. CHAMP cars had 1000 HP. Todays F1 maybe 600. Road America is about power.

[@csonkaperdido]

vin russo today's f1 cars produce WAY more than 600hp... Just the internal combustion engine makes 700... Plus the kers and mguH it's closer to 1000hp - they would destroy a modern indycar or these CART cars... Doesn't make them cooler but they are definitely faster

[@alekseiivanov6180]

...finally...he's done it...his first victory

[@PeterMayer]

pole speed 145.5 mph! That is flying.

[@PeterMayer]

Much faster! 900 hp! These guys were doing 205+ that year at RA!

[@andyeighttre]

And we can hope the coming 825hp Indy engines bring back some of this bad ass’ness!

[@AccipiterF1]

Friggin golf!

[@badmonkey2222]

Wish they would go back to V-8s!!

[@MyTruckstop]

We were sitting at turn three when Montoya's car broke. He was fast.

[@elikedrowski6181]

Shit. I was on the hill in 5. Good times for sure

[@elikedrowski6181]

Hell yeah. I was on the hill in 5

[@dronepro7316]

I watched this from a Foot Locker in Ohio. Not kidding!

[@alfredorodriguezphoto]

I MISS Champ Car Series so bad. I hate Nascar and Indy Racing. I don't know what's so appealing about going in circles.

[@vaunbob3243]

There are only 5 ovals on the schedule.

[@EdwinWhite-wz7kn]

Savage on board at 27:05.

[@MatheusLima-op6ng]

Adoro. Montoya

[@PeterMayer]

right on!

[@PeterMayer]

210 mph!

[@PeterMayer]

you guys said exactly how I feel.

[@StyrofoamKup]

THIS was the shit

[@TheGojira84]

lol did you not watch the last season?

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

5:13 *WHOA. BAD TURN 1 WRECK THERE.*

[@PeterMayer]

my thoughts exactly

[@alekseiivanov6180]

but in situation when 14 racers was out include Montoya(who's-ha!-get 1 point-most leading laps)

[@Hooha1986]

It's depressing to see what open wheel racing used to be in America. Did CART have it's problems? Of course, all series do, but we didn't need Tony George's half witted spoiled interference. As far as i'm concerned TG can go to hell.

[@PeterMayer]

yup!

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

Turn 3, too.

[@mrdraw2087]

Carpanteeyay. :P

[@PeterMayer]

210 mph. Average lap over a hundred forty five miles an hour.

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

LMMFAO LUIZ GARCIA, JR WORST CART/CHAMP CAR DRIVER EVER ALWAYS STARTED LAST ON GRID

[@dobakito]

wow these cars manage to look faster than todays indycars, even though their not. sad.

[@PeterMayer]

By that statement, sounds like you might be...no, the split/Tony George etc has left thousands of us with bad taste. And frankly, their product is inferior to what was so I'm not interested at all. I'll go to ALMS or anything else. How many different racing have you seen? I've seen a ton..."slower" and "not as shinny". What a ridiculous statement.

[@Tanquecrack1TheBoss]

great move by montoYA!

[@leonidastullius2087]

Real race cars ! Not that crap IRL!

[@TheGojira84]

You say that and then preach about ALMS.

[@PeterMayer]

Good for you Matt, Earl Gomerbilly.......you never were a CART fan to begin with. Troll.....

[@WSBT960]

This replay rule, is why I stopped supporting CART and went straight to the IRL. You don't deserve to erase accidents.

[@BadErnest]

The cars were real monsters in '99 with 900+ horsepower. The current IRL spec series cars are just garbage by comparison. Underpowered and ugly, too.

[@dronepro7316]

BadErnest that’s why I don’t even watch any more.

[@TheGojira84]

Hey, You're the one that said slow and ugly cars no thanks. And lol ALMS

[@TheGojira84]

ALMS is a washed up half dead series with decent gt racing.

[@dronepro7316]

I loved CART in 1999. I could care less about the F1 or IndyCars of today. Ugly, sound terrible, under-powered.

[@PeterMayer]

watch what? Slow and ugly cars? No thanks.
