The only real choice to upload. Glad to finally have this race in HQ... Now if only we could find that starting grid theme!

[@tacklefatkids]

David Land hey what's the starting grid music from the 1994 Long Beach Grand Prix? It's really good it was on ABC.

[@franciscodeassisribeirofer5768]

David what are the names of Mechanics winning Team/Crew Members # 4 Alex Zanardi Target chip ganassi 1996

[@DanielTorregiani]

CART was the best thing ever!!! I hope Indycar will go back to this, absolute unbelieveble

[@MisatoKatsuragiHD]

Daniel Torregiani they are next year

[@robminmonaca]

Kenny McCormick is that with McLaren coming in with Alonso and getting Dixon on the team ?

[@C-M-E]

Indeed. 1500lb chassis, 900+hp engines. And for the era I thought the CART cars looked better than any open wheel car. Let's not forget the talent pool!

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

There were many, many issues with CART. But it still is the best American open wheel racing there ever was.

[@FiddlerSteve]

This was a great series at the time: 4 different chassis, 4 engine suppliers, and a huge variety of tracks. 3 drivers in contention for the championship in the final race of the '96 season! Glad that Indycar is adding some of the old tracks back in but in my opinion they have a long way to go to match the old CART series.

[@toryrobinson8904]

Always bittersweet to see Greg Moore. So much talent, but taken so soon. :(

[@andredesouza9270]

CART begins its ending with Greg's passing!! I'm so sure of that!!

[@robminmonaca]

Tony George should feel horrible for him not being able to run at INDY.

[@HisBortness]

Such an excellent broadcast team. The way they integrate the pit reporters with the booth is immaculate. Perfectly done.

[@F-Man]

IndyCar goes back to Laguna Seca in 2019!

[@mitcholla]

props to indycar for posting full videos from years past. Nobody else does that. I appreciate that.

[@LupinxJigenTTV]

They are going back to this legendary circuit. Wow almost all of the old CART tracks are back on the schedule.

[@allstarchris1]

trickyhero they need to bring back the race course at the Cleveland airport then we would have basically all the famous road courses from the CART days back. Portland is back, Laguna is back would be nice to have Cleveland back.

[@LupinxJigenTTV]

allstarchris1 yup I was going to mention Cleveland, apparently they are in talks with the city to have it return

[@allstarchris1]

trickyhero that would be awesome

[@johnbaadilla1846]

So glad that today's coverage is much more extensive. Post race interviews especially on a season finale, and some analysis of the season overall are a must. But it's something we take for granted, because if you look at the ending of this coverage back in 1996 it's cut off so quickly.

[@andyberridge4209]

NTT keep these old races coming, love it.🇬🇧😎👌Monterey, Laguna seca, fantastic racing track.

[@stilldajoker]

Thanks so much for publishing this! I was at the fence in turn 5 for most of the race so I missed "the pass". I did however snag a Budweiser Racing banner and a Texaco Havoline banner strung between some bushes in the foothills before I walked home to Toro Park. A great day --- and I still have those banners.

[@avengedsoul6661]

Those Team Penske cars look so much like the McLarens from the 80s and 90s. There’s serious Senna and Prost vibes from that livery.

[@amphobius]

*_THE PASS_*

[@bduddy55555]

was illegal

[@Nicks62999]

@Roberto Arkenburg Not really as Van der Zande did the same exact move during the 2017 IMSA race here.

[@alexstewart6814]

I've just recently gotten into Indy racing, and watched the 2018 season. I just watched this race, and I'm impressed by how much quicker the cars seem, and the racing in general seems more competitive.

[@marisaa.tamayo]

so glad Laguna Seca is making a comeback!!

[@billyyank5807]

Laguna Seca is one of my favorite tracks.

[@lipcovitch1]

During the late 80`s and 90`s CART was fantastic. Very goodraces and pilots. I miss it.

[@vinewood8295]

I was at this race standing mostly at the bottom of the hill just before the right hander that went up to the corkscrew. Herta had been dominant all day as you'll see, then white flag came & I was totally expecting him to come around & take the checkers but noooooo....

[@showtime951]

...and Jimmy Vasser and his #12 TARGET/Chip Ganassi-Joe Montana Racing Team are named 1996 World Champions. The 1st championship title win ever for this incredibly successful, wildly popular race team and a great day for Americans.

[@racingmaniac2549]

Great upload. Thanks Indycar.

[@RiderRated18]

Thank You Indycar ! Thank You Thank You Thank You 👍🏁🇺🇸

[@oberkuhl4077]

As a fan, thank you.

[@kenccheng]

Awesome race.

[@michaelflaherty3202]

45:00 Greg Moore lights it up 50:43 Safety vehicle on track. Local yellow only 1:22:06 For the next few minutes there's lots of talk about the implications of team Rahal potentially winning this race 1:31:05 White flag 1:31:45 The Pass

[@stephenchristian5739]

HEY THANKS FOR THE DOWNLOAD! IT WAS FUN I HAD A TENT & 2 GIRLS & BIG HUGE COLEMAN COOLER (that has bear claws in it tot his day!) LOTS OF BEER, ALWAYS CAMP IN BIG SUR THEN RIDE THE MOTO ON INTO LAGUNA HAVE BREAKFAST AT ANNA'S IN CARMEL (killer french toast & omelette coffee, oj) then onto the track bright & early) WHAT A GREAT LITTLE RIDE IT IS 31 MILES JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOU AWAKE & HAVE SOME SADDLE TIME ON THE CBR. PS. I THINK A YOUNG VALENTINO R. MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING! ; )

[@poodle559]

Love the Indy car series, but Cart and then into Champ car was the best, Paul Tracy was my hero back then and in some respects it's a shame Champ car and IRL merged because both were fantastic on thier own merits...........................Bring back the pop off valve!

[@ironmenezes1674]

Zanardi, il gigante delle corse

[@robminmonaca]

Even though they won’t got back to V8s I hope they can get the engines to replicate the sound the cars were back in the 90s with the next engine formula.

[@ventisette.]

rob mush Straight 4 with very large turbos (like the old BMW F1 engine)? Could sound very similar if they make them rev high enough.

[@robminmonaca]

ScrewCaptain27 maybe if they make them a 2.5 turbo V6. However INDYCAR still wants to make things cheap in terms of engines and chassis. If they would get rid of the spec rules maybe indycar will really get huge again.

[@f1v10thebest]

rob mush they will keep the current 2.2 liter v6 but they will get enlarged to 2.5 liters have bigger turbos and higher psi in the turbos and the engines will have higher rev limits in the next 2 years this engines will have near 1000hp.

[@robminmonaca]

simracerflightsim1000 I hope so. To bad Tony George hated the turbos.

[@asianoramaagain2269]

Bryan Herta clearly mouths "I can't believe it." at the 1:36:04 mark regarding Zanardi's banzai pass....No one could.

[@KimiMTZ17]

Will you guys post the 2000 race? You know, the one with Oriol Servia doing a 450 Corkscrew (pun intended) Frontflip in turn 2

[@aaronisgrate]

So good to hear indy returning to this epic track for the season finale

[@sergiof1lg]

THE PASSS 1:31:46

[@andredesouza9270]

Well.. Portland is back! Laguna Seca will be back! How about rebuild Nazareth, bring Cleveland back and the Michigan 500 back? #ClassicIndyplease

[@darwinLee81283]

André de Souza ehhh. Cleveland tho dope. Idk if that will look so good

[@Villoresi]

Why is this video only showing up on the IndyCar site? I cannot look it up or find it shown on the IndyCar Channel here on KZbin's side.

[@jdubz22]

+Robert Pfeiffer It's a locked clip. You can only see it via the link

[@jasonwhigham335]

59:22 turned away for a minute and heard that and was like "wait the game made by sega" but to only remember that there was a place named that for a while

[@Si1verRaven]

Amazing machines great drivers, but how did they let that pass stand? He cut the corner.

[@RandyDubin]

Anybody know the song in the intro?

[@StFidjnr]

if the corners will talk at laguna seca they will be chatting for years

[@ConejoF1]

EL TRACTORISTA!

[@Norabeatrizboselli247]

1:31:49 THE PASS. LEGEND

[@MisatoKatsuragiHD]

Posting this again as you’ll be racing here again next year?

[@tacklefatkids]

Kenny McCormick they are racing in Laguna Seca next year.

[@MisatoKatsuragiHD]

Kevin Hoonigan I know

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

Audio quality sounds a little off, but still solid upload.

[@SwineBrothers]

21 drivers would win an american open wheel race. stacked field.

[@rt2000pilot]

Now get a new car that looks and sounds like these and bring em back to Cleveland !

[@duster0066]

"They" say "Horsepower doesn't matter." "They" say "They can't tell the difference between 180 and 210 mph." Well this is one of the last of the 900 hp CART races. And yes we can tell the difference. Wanna know how to screw up a good thing? Study CART and USAC.

[@chipattack912]

Greg Lyle 900hp CART went on til the year 2000...

[@chipattack912]

lightbulbsun43 he set it in the year 2000

[@raiderbelacasa]

And this circuit will return to Indy next year. Will Sonoma dance?

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

Yep, Sonoma is out

[@osmanalejandrovelardegutie42]

1:31:46

[@AA-rd4dz]

Was thinking kinda sad these machines didn’t get to race at Indy Indy teams for the most part used one or two year old machines

[@kenbaker8868]

Stupid move that Zinardi made to win the race! I would have fined him for that move! It was dangerous to do that! All that could’ve happened if he hit him is he would’ve been in trouble!

[@cookowa3256]

Supra Pace Car???

[@SwineBrothers]

this audio is weird, sounds like...well sounds compressed or something.

[@foreskidss7621]

2350 gil de ferran new McLaren racing director! 👍

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

For those of you who say that Zanardi's pass is illegal: Look closely and carefully! He was already ahead of Herta before he got off the track, so basically there's no advantage for him and it's a legit pass.

[@Jikldk]

He was only ahead because he had no chance of staying on the track for that pass, he totally overshot that corner.

[@organicmechanic1662]

CART cars were the best cars in Indycar history. Small displacement V8 twin turbo with multiple chassis constructors. This was the best racing and the nicest sounding cars that were fast! This was also when Indycar attendance and world popularity was at its highest and gave F1 a run for the money! HEY, INDYCAR - ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION??? Bring back the small displacement V8's with all the old tracks and your series will be #1 again and will attract more drivers like Alfonso to not only try it, but stay to race the full season!!!

[@Masca79]

Organic Mechanic '90s CART cars were the best (open wheels) cars in RACING history.

[@adri9428]

Not a single brand wants the V8 to come back. Even NASCAR is exploring the use of V6 engines. IndyCar has had lots of conversations with pottential engine manufacturers about what they want, and if they wanted V8, it would have already been agreed upon. But they want the V6 twin turbo to stay to even consider making the investment.

[@robminmonaca]

To bad Tony George and IMS hated everything CART was about back then in the 90s and only cared about sprint and midget car drivers.

[@Masca79]

They did not hate. They envied and have had loads of money to do it.

[@robminmonaca]

Mascal I mean Tony George didn’t have to purge the sport like he did in the 90s with the 25/8 for the 1996 INDY/IRL 500. He had to be driven by other heads of Motorsport then. Especially F1 and NASCAR. I also read somewhere that he was also being guided by AJ Foyt because he hated Penske with a passion back then and helped Tony in the early days of the IRL. Tony had a couple of good ideas but he felt like he had all the money but by 2009 his family business was losing money like crazy and his sisters kicked him out to the curb and then Things started to get a little better.

[@johnvandeventer8668]

1:31:50 to be continued

[@marcziegler9365]

F1: TRACK LIMITS!!! Indycar: F** off

[@STORMBREAKER_250]

I know everybody talks about how Zanardi’s pass on Herta wouldn’t fly today. But after watching, Herta crossed into the pit exit when he passed Zanardi.

[@stubailey9433]

Zanardi's pass shouldn't have been allowed imo.

[@ernestosanchez2372]

es Laguna seca gp

[@superninja252]

Laguna Seca will return next year

[@jaroslawfuchs5114]

In 1996 there were no onscreen infographic for CART races on TV?! Well, a bit embarrassing.

[@tomwells8093]

There was. It was through espn with their logos all over it. So this channel can't show those graphics. So they just posted the race without the pitstop times, leaderboards or points.

[@jaroslawfuchs5114]

@@tomwells8093 ah, ok, all clear, thank you for explaining!

[@atlanticearthaerials6197]

"The Pass" - I love the ambition of this move, but it is so illegal! Hand that position back sir, and try again. Surprised Herta was not more livid about that

[@actlikeuknow6498]

hahahaha this coverage is terrible. watching racing in the 90s must have been infuriating

[@robminmonaca]

sugawolf aka dubee what are you talking about paul Page and ESPN back then had the best coverage on racing. Today’s tv broadcasts especially on ABC and ESPN have been horrible.

[@darwinLee81283]

Ur trippin bro. They were the best.
