1997 Texaco/Havoline 200 at Road America | INDYCAR Classic Full-Race Rewind

[@anels9]

I’ll never forget the sound of cart/champ cars when they came to Gold Coast in Australia. One of most unique and brutal sounding cars I’ve ever heard

[@AJBa83]

Top tip: Watch past the first 2 minutes before complaining.

Si

[@FMAlchemist2006]

I wanted to complain they did not keep a SAP audio with Jorge Koechlin commenting the race.

[@homeperson11244]

but why's the first minute had that spanish commentary?

[@diethersantos6404]

I thought there's another flixzone comment holy shet! 😂

[@johnnystir9796]

These cars/drivers and liveries were all on the CART World Series Game for Playstation. I miss the pit boards.

[@sadsharksvehementcomics8265]

I have that game and Flag to Flag on Dreamcast, another great CART game.

[@richhuffman7598]

I was there! Great race. LONG rain delay. Mikey in the gravel! Hogan Racing with Dario (before Helio), and Zanardi donuts in turn 5!!!

[@3rdlineplug]

God those turbo V8’s sound absolutely incredible

[@cdname47]

Paul Tracy: Puts someone on their head on the final lap of 1996 Gets put on his head on the first lap of 1997 Road America remembers ;)

[@kertaspaper94]

BTW this generation of cars that they use is probably my favourite among the cars throughout IndyCar

[@jeremysinaz3580]

Elkhart Lake is definitely on the bucket list. Fun race! Thanx for the upload!

[@KR1ae]

One of my favorite seasons. please more of this!

El hermano peruano Jorge Koechlin con Alex Pombo, la gran dupla relatora de los 90's, como se los extraña tanto y sobretodo ahora que ni siquiera se ve la categoría por acá.

[@GeraArg]

Si, se lo extraña a Jorge Koechlin!!!!!!!!!

[@cvillalobos27]

Sí. Traiganlo de vuelta!!!

[@DrColoso]

@@cvillalobos27 como se desperdicia tanto profesionalismo, hace unas noches atrás estaba haciendo zapping por los canales de ESPN y me encontré que el amigo Alex Pombo lo tenían relatando basketball de mujeres, no lo podía creer, me agarraba la cabeza y yo decía "que demonios!!!!!!!" Disney como siempre destruyendo lo que era bueno.

[@cdname47]

Finally a decent race from the golden era of Indycar racing and they mess it up.....a bit. Nothing beats the glory of CART cars on a fast, hard road course of Road America. Add in rain and....*chefs kiss* If I had a time machine, THIS would be the fabled, famous American 500 mile race, not some 4 turn runaround in indianapolis :-p

[@simonkevnorris]

I was there at that race. I'd flown into Cleveland (staying with a F1 buddy there) from the UK the previous week and went to see the CART race at Mid Ohio (watching the Hungarian F1 GP on the Sunday morning where Damon Hill almost won the race in an Arrows with Bridgestone tyres). The weekend after I'd flown back to the UK on the Monday and on the Wednesday drove to Spa-Francorchamps for the F1 race there. I had a lazy Thursday not able to do very much. It was a fairly intense three weeks - staying in a tent for Road America and Spa-Francorchamps. The weather at Road America was really bad. We were listening to the race officials on my radio scanner and could hear that there was a break in the weather quite late in the day - we had thought it may have been run on the Monday at one stage (as the officials were talking about that) which would have messed up my travel plans as I had a flight back to the UK form Cleveland around 13:00. We watched the race from under the trees at the Carousel. We had walked around the track on the Saturday so had been able to see quite a bit before that.

[@cdname47]

@@simonkevnorris wow quite a couple of classic races, and legendary race courses back to back :-o

[@simonkevnorris]

@@cdname47 Thanks, it was a great three weeks but I needed a holiday afterwards! The Tuesday was spent washing clothes and packing my car for the trip leaving around 6am for the 2 hour trip to Dover and the ferry.

[@andyberridge6455]

Alex Zanardi brilliant, on fire in 97.

[@Number-ju1nl]

The Champ Cars were great to watch I miss them!

[@ULTRAHIGH303]

Absolutely beautiful all cars and liveries

[@VulcanSphere]

Another great CART classic from Road America!

[@javiergarrido6088]

Wow .. the US transmission was mixed with the Latinamreican transmission. Jorge Koechlin and Alex Pombo

Wild seeing the kink without fencing. Glad they put it up before Legge went into it. She would have wound up on the train tracks lol

2003 was another edition of the race where it was plagued by rain.

Penske's face shows his frustration with Tracy, even though it wasn't his fault.

Could you have maybe muted one of the commentators voices. This is f’ing unwatchable with the sound on.

[@fiegeracing4279]

It’s only for the beginning of the broadcast

[@Spunkey1982]

How would you expect someone to remove voices from a recording? it only lasts a couple of minutes. Could you have maybe used some common sense before commenting?

[@DeoVindice_61-65]

@@Spunkey1982 With editing tools, you can isolate certain audio in recordings, and remove it. How about not being a dumbass.

2:04 click there and take some cheese with your whine.

[@cdname47]

@@DeoVindice_61-65 Editor here, you can't do much of anything with an already mixed together broadcast. Only way they could fix it would be to find the original sound file of the US broadcast and mix it back with a clean feed of the pictures/track noise, not an easy task, if it's even possible considering this was recorded in freaking 1997
