The first one in indy should have got a penalty he cuts the track after overtaking too wide

[@SMonkeyRacing]

Yeah, by modern rules. However at that time there was no rule about going off AFTER you passed someone, which is what he did. If I remember correctly, the pass was considered already accomplished when he went off, and they modified the rulebook after that specifically because of The Pass.

[@thealeofficialchannel9327]

Yes, nowadays! That was the REAL motosport! That overtake (made by the italian Alessandro Zanardi) is considered one of the greatest overtakes in IndyCar still today (with all the reasons)!

[@agenthoini]

Man im a big motor sport fan although i confess I'm not that into bikes, but that last race at brans is just amazing , great stuff .

[@voongnz]

Bikes make for awesome racing, more dependent on rider skill than factory backing comparatively speaking, and much more variety of lines and overtaking possible being a single track vehicle racing on same circuits as cars. Rossi at catalunya 2009 is one of my favorites.

[@bendy_lover483]

That’s the most exciting nine minutes of my week

[@Buynot]

I've said it before regarding Zanardi's move, and I'll say it again: Here in America, *if it's paved it's fair game!* If the driver crashes, that's on them. If you want to enforce track limits, use grass, gravel, or a wall.

Rallye Baie des Chaluers 2010. Pat Richard rolls his Subaru, flips it back onto the wheels, and still drives fast enough through the rest of the stage to win the rally.

[@eliakimseleguim2716]

Cada final mais emocionante que o outro!!!!

[@erikkz]

That Zanardi move... I take it that this was an illegal overtake? He was way outside of the track limits.

[@cdname47]

erikkz it's a good marker for the two types of motorsport fans I've noticed. Type 1! Hell yeah, excitement!!! Tear up the rulebook! That was so badass it has to stand! Type 2: excuse me! Rules are rules. It doesn't matter that he dared to overtake on the final lap and pulled off a badass move, due to some white lines denoting the track then it can't stand and he must be penalised for even daring to try. Ie chaos vs order. Give me chaos any time. As it stands, the rules at the time meant it was fully legal, zanardi broke no rules. The fact they had to create new rules just because of that move shows you how audacious it was

[@sideslick1024]

In Zanardi's defense, it wasn't illegal *at the time*. He simply played the game better than Herta that day. (Also, he pretty much totally destroyed the floor of his car. If he did that on any other lap, his race would have been screwed.)

[@patrickstar8077]

Completely legal at the time, definitely would be illegal in basically any racing series now.

[@erikkz]

+cdname47 I agree with you that moves nobody ever thought of are the best to see on track. What I don't really like though is that somebody can extend the track or cut the track to gain a position, in this case a race winning position. Would you like to see people cutting chicanes to win a position on a regular basis? I mean, the track and its limits are there for a reason.

[@jeffgordonfan2462]

He had already completed the move before he took the corner wide

After 22 years i still dont get why zanardi was celebrated for that pass so much. It was not “the pass“ like it was the most legendary move ever. He cut the corner, left the track and should have been disqualified for that. If he would have stayed on track with at least half the car, it would have been amazing. But this is just cheating. Nevertheless Zanardi was a great driver.
