RACER: Simon Pagenaud Honda Sonoma In Car 2014

[@Shenmoki]

Reminds me of the glorious sound of the 80s F1 cars

[@fargeeks]

Which is pathetic

[@FlavioSpirit]

Boa noite. É realmente fantástico. Só saudades né. Abraço do Brasil.....

[@comercole1940]

Would you prefer the f1 v6 hybrid one?​@@fargeeks

[@ZondaF355]

One of the greatest ONBOARDS I have ever seen! Thanks for this upload and I love reading your magazine

[@easleyrider]

Thank you RACER! Simon really manhandles this beast. So fast and brilliant.

[@mikelarge117]

Raced karts at Sears Point. But this sure beats that experience. Simon was smoking!

[@CoSmicGoesRacing]

To think this footage was from 10 years ago.

[@luckey4980]

Thank you RACER! Wonderful stuff from Pagenaud... really enjoyable.

[@SpencerSamios]

This, more of this!

[@luckey4980]

Awesome mate...

[@yongkrulaguna4824]

i love the sound, the traction control located in your right foot. LOL! wish F1 had a sound like this.

[@cvillalobos27]

Is he adjusting the fuel mix ith the right hand and the break balance with the left one? Amazing!!! these engines are starting to come back!!!

[@Deniz1923]

Best onboard I've ever seen by a long shot. It's fantastic !!!

[@TheRacerChannel]

See what it looks and feels like to be an modern IndyCar driver.

[@BradHinesley]

Oh Hell yes!

[@Downforce3]

That was the best helmet cam video quality I've seen. Please get somemore, race weekend stuff would be great!!!!

[@acedmonds2007]

Brilliant stuff!!! MORE of this. Track tours on the race broadcast each weekend from this view?? Love watching how quick the hands are making the steering corrections.

[@hayabusa27]

He is now Champion ! 2016 !

[@beszelop]

Brilliant video! Great camera setting. You can feel how the driver tries better and better every lap.

[@Mati03x]

Fantastic Video !!! more videos like this !!! bay from Argentina

[@phillipkerfoot2389]

Epic video.This is why i subscribed.Please do some more onboards from other series. But this just sublime.

[@sanchezzz1]

Now THAT'S how I like to wake up in the morning!

[@nazart7830]

Jesus!! you got yourselfs a new suscriber. I hope you post more videos just like this one. Just make them longer.

[@GMulholland80]

Very nice footage. I would watch a full gp of that :)

[@klausledda2393]

same v6 turbo sound in 80's no doubt about it

[@Treetop64]

Guy's a pro, handling that much oversteer.

[@davidsaintcyr3384]

More of this please

[@FlavioSpirit]

Boa noite !!!!!! Cara, que vídeo fantástico. Que Máquina fantástica. Realmente de arrepiar...... Obrigado por nos levar de carona pra curtir essa velocidade incrível. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Foi demais mesmo. Abraço do Brasil.....

[@RaufZero]

Great footage, and some nice driving, one of my fav track (unfortunately only from video games ;). Driver need to tweak TC, fuel map or break bias?

[@TWRJagXJR]

Most likely brake bias.

[@deggis4]

No traction control to tweak.

[@DJWolves97]

Yeah, I am fortunate to live next to both Sonoma and Mazda raceway, very big tracks!

[@06Christian]

Incredible.

[@F-Man]

Certified Intergalactic.

[@ItalianSupercars12]

Wow!! 2:31 nice sound and quick hands :)

[@ronaldsarzynski5826]

Loved it. If the speed could be imposed on the screen, truly spectacular!

[@VictorySpecification]

The bravery is real.

[@a1e20]

If I could only build a time machine and go back to when I was a kid and tell my younger self to persuade my parents to get me into racing... C'mon Doritos! Make it happen! Make that time machine a reality!

[@SRAMEK]

Just wooow!

[@MrJacu]

F1 2020 Codemasters graphic ....

[@mdmd792]

That's sound ... that's sound !!!

[@heynando]

pretty exciting

[@Pz_FrenchFryMan]

SP : "You're on cam, guys !!!" Crew Member : "You really gonna see something with that thing ?" SP : "I don't know..." SB : " 'Cuz if it falls, it'll be a pain in the *ss !!!" This is why i love racedrivers...

[@12th.jahlil]

Some of the coolest people on earth with the best job W47CH3R

[@Trentonwestphal]

This is the way racing games need to be made, camera shake and the head movement.

[@CoSmicGoesRacing]

And he’s now an Indy 500 champion.

[@GW2Vids1]

So much old tech in those indie cars...

[@sk8guitardrums]

These Indy cars look so much cleaner and nicer bodywork than the new F1 cars, i like both and can't wait for the new seasons to start.

[@tdougs77]

Great View

[@DiogoYoshida]

This is the real in car camera!

[@xxnositxx]

Wow that is amazing.. I even was getting some adrenaline from watching that. I wish I could become a racer one day

[@patrickS_SFT]

What a Sound

[@hairyroadrash]

Love this track

[@hayabusa27]

now i cant wait this weekend!

[@ac8c8c8]

I like this point of view. thanks

[@ANIMLFIRE]

Amazing!

[@bobmckoy7105]

great video! thx for the upload!

[@macsou0909]

It´s a really nice video in first person.

[@mrbloodmuffins]

Are these cars running with the rumored increase in horsepower?

[@HaziqD]

Amazing! Just look at that acceleration! Now just imagine how fast it would be like in a F1 car.

[@DmitryShkeirov]

Good to see Sonoma in green :)

[@fordfocusonme1458]

3:54 and 5:44 Simon presses a red button on the top left side of the steering wheel with his left thumb. Is that the push to pass button?

[@memberHD]

My guess is traction control.

[@gahloot]

memberHD We don't have traction control!

[@memberHD]

gahloot thats clears that up then. He must be dialing in his transfibulator

[@MiguelGLD]

Brake balance perhaps.

[@fordfocusonme1458]

***** Thanks!

[@AimYourArrowsBand]

Just noticed the little "cheat sheet" map of the track to the right of the steering wheel.

[@zmiletic4]

Gloves changed color magically.

[@ukliokiuyh]

GREAT!

[@sonyha5583]

F1 should look like this !

[@Jonny6833]

Sears point when the grass is green looks so much better than when the grass is dead in the summer.

[@SilentGunner13]

From this angle the indycar looks like a giant go-kart. and I don't mean that in a bad way. Power delivery is quick, it accelerates like a rat up a drainpipe and you're always working the wheel. This is the sort of stuff F1 should be aiming for, not some dumbed down eco-friendly nonsense. And I'm saying that as an F1 fan.

[@balintk.9373]

Exactly. F1 is too sophisticated IMHO.

[@TheOz91]

Karun Chanduk, Indian racing driver, have stated that F1 should look back to the simplicity of the 90s F1 era after taking some of the iconic F1 cars from that era for a spin. With the introduction of the new power units, it doesn't help to make F1 even more complex. Being complex machines, this gives an advantage to teams who can throw the most money at it, leaving lower tier F1 teams in the dust. But not Indycar. It is much simpler, much cheaper, and still pretty fast. For this reason, we saw 11 different winners around 18 races in the 2014 season.

[@yeagemk]

TheOz91 Yeah but you see, nothing can really be done about this. F1 has always been about utilizing the latest and greatest in automotive engineering; a process which furthers the advancement of our everyday drivers. Indycar doesnt operate under the same philosophy.

[@LatIngenium]

yeagemk So true, the problem in F1 isn't the engines, it's elsewhere. WEC has never been more interesting ever since the hybrid engines regulations. The whole difference is how these are written.

[@SilentGunner13]

LatIngenium I think the thing with WEC is there's a lot more freedom for development and innovation, especially in the engine department. Manufacturers aren't locked to a certain engine size, power output or drivetrain like F1 is. The Audi R18 sounds incredible as a hybrid V6, and the Toyota is epic as well. F1's regulations are poorly written in terms of the engine and the result we get is the flatulent note that today's engines make.

[@BollocksUtwat]

Any idea what that red dial on the bottom right of his wheel is changing?

[@tommythetreat000]

+BollocksUtwat Probably fuel mix. The higher the number, the more fuel is consumed for more power.

[@HeyItsNovember11]

They should put cams like this in the transmition, it will be great :D

[@BritishShark11]

AWESOME!

[@heitorcleber7239]

Very good

[@amk98002]

Super cool!

[@Hedylcrowley95]

What's that car's top speed aproximately? Just wondering.

[@andylui3333]

218-220 mph? not entirely sure....i know they hit at least 218 tho

[@mikeharris3016]

At indy they get up to 233 on the strait away

[@gahloot]

240 mph on the front straight of the Indy 500 before turning into turn one. Now just imagine they add more HP, or didn't limit what these engines can actually produce. 240 mph is with quite a bit of downforce as well on the car.

[@walterwhite6074]

gahloot And 240 mph is with oval boost pressure, only 550-600 horsepower. Think what the speed would be with road course boost (750 horsepower).

[@klr007]

A green Sonoma! Gooooooooood!

[@rafaelcoutomarinho6314]

Espetacular, The Frog!

[@Spaffboy]

Started with red gloves when putting them on in the pitlane, turned in to white gloves in the car......

[@gtrueblood1]

that was awesome

[@zdenkodestinyhopevuk9169]

how many power? hp?

[@kelli153]

750hp

[@Snafu2346]

MMmmmmm Yes more of this.

[@jasonmceachern2035]

Nice!

[@Nutelko8]

Im not proud to say this. But this year i think this is Indy Car they look better and sound so much better then F1

[@joshimura1995]

That must be fun to drive

[@alefspielvan]

circuit???

[@americandirtracing6807]

Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma, California

[@alefspielvan]

;)

[@Niersteentje]

Ultra violent

[@robainscough]

Not sure what that dial is ... differential settings? Either way, bad place for the dial, it would be far easier to manage using a finger dial on the back side with a LED value on the front side. If he had any type of tire failure (puncture, suspension) while he was one handing the wheel it could be the difference between a "save" and a "serious crash".

[@robainscough]

Throttle as in fuel map or as in actual pedal mapping (Drive-by-wire)? But either way, why would he adjust throttle map from corner to corner? Are you sure it's not differential as that would make sense on a corner by corner basis?

[@bnercksn]

Rob Ainscough Could be brake bias.

[@robainscough]

I don't think so, that's lower left (I saw him adjust that a couple times, not too often). I think any "electronic" brake bias would violate class rules/regulations -- they're typically mechanical.

[@supo1729]

Rob Ainscough its a mix control...controls how much fuel goes to the engine www.thestar.com/sports/2013/07/12/honda_indy_toronto_inside_an_indycar_cockpit.html

[@MarshallPruett]

eric w It's actually the throttle mapping control. Adjusts the sensitivity of how hard/soft the drive-by-wire throttle reacts when he hits the throttle. The more the car oversteers, the more he dials it towards a less aggressive response.

[@DavidRSAT]

Sounds like the v12 F1 cars!

[@JoshKernica]

these cars sound good but have you ever heard a v12 f1 car in person? because it sounds way better than this.

[@fragelicious]

This is what they mean when say say, sense of speed!

[@darrenkirkpatrick5882]

It's so weird to see green grass at Sonoma. I'm probably just too used to playing it on Forza 4.

[@cooperheffley2133]

a little tip burping helps with get more power :) you are really good!

[@burymaker]

My Dream...

[@Starciller]

Did anyone else notice that his gloves changed from red to white? When he put them on they were red and then when he started his first lap they were white. Strange.

[@shadowb1ade627]

Probably for comfort

[@atjays]

Sounds better than the new F1 cars and manged more laps than they do in an 8 hour day

[@FPSyorkshire]

yeah but thats right up close in the car. chances are the f1 car sounds a bit softer but i kinda like it

[@ZondaF355]

Wow!,

[@francoisg3500]

This the engine they should have put in the New Honda NSX!!!

[@jeromebouche]

Waou !!!

[@ImMarkyB]

Pffft, coasting through the corners! - Great video but hardly an 'attack' of the circuit.

[@hristoitchov]

It's obviously low grip, that's why he's not so aggressive, the car is sliding around.

[@c2jones]

Exactly. This is setup testing. If one wants to see "circuits attacked," then show us this camera during final qualifying.

[@wheelspinner20]

Did you watch the whole vid? theres a difference between "coasting through corners" and modulating throttle in the center. All you have to do is watch his hands, understeer oversteer really dont happen much if your'e not pushing it. Not sure there is not a rule about cameras mounted on helmets, many sanctioning bodies have rules against it at a formal event. Doesnt apply during testing. Although, Tommy Milner posted his from during the Rolex24. Easier for a tin top car to get away with and keep it on the DL especially at night like his was. Awesome vid though.!

[@89Ayten]

And imagine that in an F1 car, each corner would be taken anywhere from 10-30mph faster

[@kelli153]

DW12-2014 = 750 hp F1-2014 = 650 hp

[@cristiansanz6874]

Rafael Marinho Formula 1 downforce settings allow for faster cornering. Also: DW12 = 714kg F14 T = 691kg

[@harshlens]

Rafael Marinho Noob.

[@FlyingBoxHead]

Comparing F1 to Indy is comparing Apples to Oranges ya dingus.

[@89Ayten]

Dane Gibson It's not though. They're both formula cars; open wheel, open cockpit single seaters.

[@AngryScottish]

Am I the only one who noticed red gloves when he got into the car. White gloves driving it?

[@williamduran5391]

definitely the indycar this year is better, compared to the 2014 f1 season

[@f1fan84]

='0)…im so baked….this is AWESOME!!!! AAAWWEEESOOMEEE!!

[@kenadams1940]

er ah - footage looks accelerated - fast as hell but is that necessary ?

[@Boxscot49]

er ah - yeah no they didn't speed it up this cars just faster than you think

[@Cali_Livin_916]

They need to tear Sonoma up and start over again. To many elevation changes and to many corners. Cars, bikes, none of them ever get up to top speed.

[@samuelvictor846]

D++++

[@fragelicious]

they say:p

[@danilosanfilippo7985]

sound like honda turbo V6 1.5cc of 1986 .... yellow car ...camel sponsor ....

[@MrMachacker]

Danilo Sanfilippo camel lotus? 1987-1988 were the only 2 turbo camel lotus honda

[@danilosanfilippo7985]

***** yes is a Lotus Camel with Twin Turbo Honda engine .... V6 1.5cc 15000 RPM ...... is a beutiful car .... beutiful sound .... the DW12 sound like a Lotus .... the different are engine cubic centimeter .... DW12 are 2.3cc , Lotus are 15cc.... the cars has a twin turbo engine

[@TAVIII]

sounds better than f1 and it's faster

[@12th.jahlil]

Its not faster, its a few seconds slower OK

[@TheAlexKhvorov]

тряска-то на самом деле жуткая. Почему-то в сим-рейсингах ее нет

[@jamiemubata2704]

more noise than f1 this year
