Indycars (CART) at Detroit, 1989.

Another class vid. I love watching old races especially from the US. I'm sure in 30 years time I'll look back at today's racing and think the same but the cars seem so tame today. Back then it was all spitting flames, squealing tyres and a bit of oversteer action. Beautiful 😍

+King Greeny , thanks again, sir! I loved CART. Here in the US, being a fan of road racing can be an odd thing. Caring about 'proper motorsport' is often at odds with our national motor racing traditions here..and when the Indycars went road racing in a serious way, I was absolutely stoked. I'm old enough to remember the days when if you wanted to catch the 500 live, you had to get yourself a radio (IIRC, it was not televised live until the early 1970s). These brutal fire-breathing monsters, finally on *my* kind of racetracks? Yeah, I'll take it! High horsepower, low downforce (compared to F1 at the time)? Fantastic stuff. I would actually suggest that Indycar racing during the CART years should be just as legendary as the F1 races of the 1970s. I feel very fortunate that I got to see them in person a couple of times.
