INDYCAR - LAPS OF ROAD AMERICA THROUGH MY EYES

[@jman145]

Love the new perspective this gives us.

[@left8138]

@DontPressOnMyProfile Pic I think inside the helmet

[@LSB001]

Yeah. It really gives you a sense of the speed, and what the driver is doing and feeling. The neutered, stabilised camera views in F1 are far less informative and exciting. Though I understand why F1 uses that style, since it's not exactly easy to watch a video that's constantly shaking.

[@don7680]

@@left8138 Yes - that's why you get the weird tint to the picture, even when the visor is up. It's filtering the sun coming through with his visor color.

[@ScottishJazzman]

Formula E has been using “Driver’s Eye” for a few seasons now. It’s a really good concept.

[@aaronmcmichael570]

I think what’s amazing is all the little bumps they have to go through for a whole race. That has to take a toll on your body in such a tight space

[@mcdlope2480]

Man, we miss you at F1. That Mazepin guy is a bad joke.

[@Baguette_mp4]

Romain had talent in F1 ( and still in indycar )

[@lecartoon1513]

Je rêverai le revoir en F1

[@andrewvillegas7747]

Haas needed money more than driving talent at the time I think

[@janzumstein8241]

@@andrewvillegas7747 Yes your right. They just needed money to survive in F1.

[@jwj8201]

@@janzumstein8241 Yea, If F1 had any interest in creating good racing they would even out the team winnings at least a little more for the championships standings.

[@crxbinsxn1106]

I never realized but you can actually see a lot in those mirrors, I’ve always wondered how much you could see through the mirrors

[@FleX_94]

Would be pretty stupid if you couldn't see out of them properly 😂

[@maceocapietto4090]

French F4 you only see the width of the rear tyre so you have to guess if someone is on your side, since his front wheel isn't near your head you can't see them

[@9rows]

Filed under things that make me happy: An IndyCar flat-out through the kink at Road America. Proper race car on a proper race circuit! Good stuff!

[@chazk5376]

Looks like the kink is being straightened out! Must be crazy exhilarating the first few times!

[@Gump-tion]

Crazy to see the burns on his hand from that F1 crash.

[@uc9584]

yeah, he is the man, respectful

[@craftsoda]

i read he will be getting skin grafts in October, so racing most of this season with those burns. Mad respect.

[@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou]

Crazy to think the only thing he got from it was those burns. After watching that crash it's lucky he didn't lose his life.

[@jasonchilton5023]

I had to go back and watch it a second time to notice - that's insane. Still can't believe he walked away from that.

[@ExtremeWeatherGroup]

Reminds me of Niki lauda, still racing without a serious loss of confidence.

[@joshuaamaya922]

Sick perspective. Glad to see you having a fun and successful time in indycar! Keep the content up!

[@dzelpwr]

This is one of the all time greatest road courses. A driver and fan favorite. Enjoy it, Romain! So happy to see how being in a competitive series has changed your outlook on things and reinvigorated you. Go get em!

[@mega_mightyenax2563]

Road America has ALWAYS been one of my favorites

[@randygravel2057]

The helicopter shot coming over the hill is so cool on race day.

[@deanjdk]

More of these Romain! Brilliant 😀

[@fixienick]

Romain! I'm so glad you got to experience Road America! As a Wisconsin resident, it's awesome to see you visit and appreciate what we have to offer to motorsport. Here's to your continued success!

[@milanradonjic8164]

Love this track! Spa and Road America are the two of the best long, old school tracks with such a nice flow.

[@joeb7975]

been to the top circuits all over the world and IMO Road America is second only to Spa. Just a beautiful circuit.

[@mohammed_the_train_spotter]

What about Road Atlanta

[@m.r.9127]

It is a good track for sure but ranking it near the top alongside spa is silly. But that’s your opinion and I respect it.

[@joeb7975]

@@myk1137 Well I've actually been to most of the circuits you mention and I respectfully disagree.....as do many drivers who count Road America as one of their favorite circuits, such as juan pablo montoya and giancarlo fisichella among many others.

[@penske1]

Wow, after the carousel through the kink and back straight is intense. I don't know if it's the proximity of the trees but that was awesome.

[@esavage8855]

It’s one of the fastest spots on the track too because it’s all down hill. I’ve been to road America multiple times and standing by the back straight is crazy your like 20 feet from the track. Plus it’s insanely loud because the trees act like a tunnel

[@meowmixx8899]

thankyou Romain for taking the time to allow us VIP access into what its like to be a racing driver...

[@ebdprod]

Cockpit perspective gives you the genuine perspective of the speed and incredible skill and courage of race drivers at the highest level. And I put Romain with the absolute top on the courage level to continuously take the cars to the limit after he literally jumped from the flaming jaws of death. What a competitor, and always a gentleman as well. F1's loss is Indy's gain.

[@Supercell725]

I’m taking a real liking to this guy, been watching open wheel as far back as I can remember, thanks dad for making me a race fan , I can’t remember but I’m sure Grosjean was not the first to get out of his car and fight the fire, that got me out of my recliner, you go man, I’ll be watching this guy.

[@kylebeavan62]

He was my favourite driver in F1 and he's still even when he's not even in it! what a legend

[@JonathanAllen0379]

This is the most incredibly intense onboard footage I've ever seen. Magnifique!🙏😉😎

[@almostfm]

I'm always amazed at how quickly you guys can feel one end of the car starting to lose grip and applying a correction. You've got it corrected before most of us would even feel it. That's why you do it, and we just watch.

[@MBAraujo35]

Amazing. This is a very fast circuit.

[@1320crusier]

Some call it the American Spa.

[@dom_GR63]

@@1320crusier yh was thinking that while watching

[@sufferbl]

The videos you're making lately are simply amazing! This is such a great perspective.

[@MajesticDemonLord]

The bit at the beginning, when you see the burn scarring, makes you appreciate everything about Romain

[@reecetbobby5347]

That track is incredible! Glad you got to experience it in an Indy car!

[@stephen_101]

Good to see you are enjoying yourself out in the USA Romain, thanks for sharing these awesome on board videos 👏👍

[@ChristinaMaterna]

One of the reasons why we love you. Amazing content and viewing for us fans! I'm amazed how much you can see both through the windscreen and mirrors

[@WalkerSavagliaMedia]

My friend and I drove up there when she saw on Instagram you were there! Had to stand and watch from the road by turn two. Got some okay iPhone pictures (as good as you’d expect from a phone haha.) So cool to see you ripping on our home track Romain!

[@thomascollins3131]

My favorite track! I've been going to Elkhart Lake since the 70s. So cool to see it from that perspective! Thank you Romain Grosjean!

[@jonjonajonathan6294]

The burn marks on your hand still makes me wince till this day

[@Chatta-Ortega]

I love the perspective from Romaine's in-car camera. It really illustrates just how fast he's going and how hard he's working. RA is the best circuit in the US.

[@don7680]

Love it, very cool! One of the best tracks on earth. Really enjoy the prep getting into the car. It makes us watching feel like we're getting ready to drive. Even when up, your visor really gives the picture a weird pinkish tint. Thanks Romain! Good luck the rest of the season.

[@SimpleUsernameOriginal]

This is the view; every track from this perspective would be great

[@rickdurivage]

Thanks for sharing Romain! Great perspective on how it feels to drive an Indy car :)

[@fugginrambo]

This is awesome Romain ! I'm a big fan and excited for you and the team. This is practically my backyard, greetings from Wisconsin

[@mawe42]

Lots of really good drivers in F1 that never gets a chance to prove that, you are one of those Romain! Still remember how quick you could be in that early decent Lotus. It is so nice to see you being competitive and have fun!

[@jonhill3328]

Terrific insight and great to see Romain having fun in his new challenge! 👍🏻 🏆

[@jrock9687]

Aww yes, Road America. Truly the 'Spa' of the US race courses. Elkhart Lake is a MUST for any race fans bucket list for sure. Good luck in Detroit Romain, your back sides gonna be sore for days after this weekend, Belle Isle is probably one of the roughest street courses on any race calendar out there.

[@taunaengus4978]

Thanks for this. Romain, you're the best! I always loved driving Road America in Formula Ford, it's beautiful seeing it from your perspective and seeing the adjustments you make in the car during a lap.

[@_Dibbler_]

When he changes the Anti Roll bar its shown all over the display. Thats something I am really missing in iRacing. Great footage again.

[@puffy514]

So glad to see that you still have that passion for driving! And that the accident didn't take that away!! Stay safe Roman!! Est bonne chance dans la série Indy!!

[@stephenbritton9297]

Would love to hear your thoughts on RA compared to some of the F1 circuits you’re used to. Keeping it flat out through the Kink is definitely a thrill!

There's a certain majesty in watching Romain wrestle this barely capable machine around such an iconic track. It is both present and nostalgic at the same time. Lovely stuff!

I did signboard for ChampCar as a friend/volunteer to several teams & I am still amazed that drivers can see them at speed! Thank you for posting this video of my favorite track.

[@ykpr]

One of the best track on earth !

[@myk1137]

I'd rate it 10.000th out of 100.000 tracks.

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

In many ways, Road America stills reminds me of the supercircuits from the days of old F1 like classic Spa, Nordschliefe, and Hockenheim. A lap around it almost feels like a Rally stage with every bit of the track being extremely distinct yet flowing. It's a sort of track that you don't see very often, even back in any of racing's Golden Eras.

[@kyletheune6280]

I live by that track. Really cool to see it from that perspective

[@KeelanRacing]

Loved this! Would definitely want to see more of these!

[@hipfx120]

I was at the track for this race and I thought you had a great drive. It couldn't have been easy with all the cautions and the threat of storms. Great job, it was fun to see you race in person!

[@apophisstr6719]

Possibly one of the best onboard videos for open wheeler ever, this somehow reminded me of Shift.

[@ben-jam-in6941]

Thanks for another great video giving us fans a cool perspective.

[@GeorgeAlexe]

Why is the steering wheel slightly off-center.. leaning to the right even on straights?

[@egeaslan5872]

Because of the oval tracks the steerings are usually set to be that way.

[@WindWolf28]

Maybe to fight off the wind? Idk

[@sidders5023]

Probably something to do with the balance of the car

[@nakshatraagarwal1764]

balance is different in IndyCar so even if the wheels are pointing straight the wheel can be off center

[@hristoitchov]

Good question. Should be leaning left if the car is set up asymmetrically for the predominantly right corners

[@willjam465]

My favorite track. Have driven on this track. While it was just some spirited touring sessions, you can get a sense of how fast and flowing it is. Would love to actually be behind the wheel of a proper race car for some hot laps like this. Great perspective. Thanks for sharing with us!
