1996 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach | INDYCAR Classic Full-Race Rewind 

Nothing better than CART Champcars / IndyCars! Thank you!

Lovely sound these cars had back then.

This is my favorite Long Beach layout

Brings back so many memories. Absolute monster cars. Today's IndyCar is half the car

Ah! Those cars looked and sounded so good! Golden Era indeed.

Indycar today just doesn't compare to this. Real shame. This was better than F1! Great commentary team of Paul and Danny also. R.I.P Gil.

96 to 2000 probably the best years for me !

The sound of the engines were impressive.

The voice of CART/INDY, Paul Page. This was, IMO, the pinnacle of these machines.

These were the years I´ve learned to love Indy. Here in Brazil I was watching every race with my dad. For me these cars are the best.

Ohhh man,the sound of CART series....

Is this peak Long Beach? Great crowd, awesome cars, lots of chassis/engine/tire competition, constant unpredictability.

Richie Hearn and Michel Jourdain Jr. were the two drivers in this race who started the Indy 500 a month later as rookies. They later finished 1-2 in the Las Vegas 500K race five months later and were the only two drivers on the lead lap at the end.

Sucks to lose the race so near the end but that Pennzoil livery just looks so good.

Indy and Nascar was 🔥🔥🔥 in the mid to late 90s

I was there with my brother at the hairpin turn...awesome sight and sound!!!

Thanks Indycar!

Always loved this layout of Long Beach. Especially the middle sector, so much faster

I always loved this version of long beach because of indy car racing by papyrus

Early-mid '90's CART/Indy Car was the best auto racing series on the planet, especially when Firestone took a massive development effort and came back after two decades out of racing. Tires are so critical in racing and Firestone pushed Goodtyear to up their game and by '96-'97 had passed them by with an incredible racing tire product. By the late '90's Firestones were so superior the only way Goodyear could keep CART clients was by paying them. And as we all know Firestone took over as exclusive supplier and remain so today. I'd say their gamble to come back to Indy Car paid off!

Thanks Indycar for the upload.

JV!!!! My favorite Champ Car driver! So consistent. And an even better Team Owner!

Thanks for the upload. Great quality.

Classic years for this series. Too bad Tony George managed to destroy it all.

I was there!

I’m glad you guys upload what seem to be very good masters of these old races, and they look to be de-interlaced (at least from what I can see on my phone screen) but why stretch the video to 16:9? Better than cropping it, but honesty I’d rather just live with the black bars on the side rather than have everything look squashed.

The juxtaposition of discussing the future California Speedway right before speaking to Greg Moore dredges up a lot of sad memories of a career cut short by a very unfortunate tragedy. He shouldn't have driven with his hand injured like that at such treacherous speeds in that race. Ultimately it was his decision alone to get in that day

Im new to Indycar just became a F1 fan in 2018 can someone please tell me what engines were used 90s-2010s.....i got into Indy watching Nigel Mansell amazing 1993 season i know those were 2.65l v8 turbo engines and those cars were beautiful so low

Obrigado pelo post!

Who else thought it was the Titanic in the background

38:57 the reason we’re all here for….

Reynard, vs Lola vs Penske vs Eagle. Honda vs Mercedes vs Ford vs Toyota. Goodyear vs Firestone. 1990's CART was awesome

I never knew Eddie Lawson dabbled in CART.

Good video, unfortunate that the aspect ratio is wrong.

21:00 the automated closed-captions appropriately go *[MUSIC]*

why is everything better back in the- days

Zanardi still wasn't used to the American mentality where backmarkers fight to stay ahead of the leaders instead of letting them past. The same thing happened at Vancouver. Without those, he wins the title as a rookie.

RIP Greg Moore

Also Paul Tracy a dawg

Pupo Moreno??🤨🤨 Just discovered it’s Roberto’s middle name.

i literally just watched the 1983 long beach gp... f1 should have stayed there and detroit for a few more years

Sully was so great at color commentary, he and Paul needed to get their rhythm down but once they started to click Danny added a great fresh perspective. I loved the Page-Bobby 'for certain sure' Unser-Sam Posey trio, probably the best ever, but the endless Bobby-Sam bickering was getting tired, and I think they finally refused to work together any longer such was their mutual animosity (Bobby being banished to turn 2 at Indy was hilarious.) Paul and Danny (along with the legendary pit team of Jack Arute and Gary Gerrold and Jan B) were developing into a great team. Not sure how long it lasted. Contrast this era with the utter cheese fest, carnival barker style broadcast team and production quality that began in the 00's and continues today that's so cringe it's embarrassing. '95 was the end of the golden era of Indy Car/CART racing , but '96 had it''s moments, and this broadcast team really made it come alive. A better time, in every way.... EDIT: the sound mix was off a lot, many times the engines drowned out the announcers lol...

Alex Zanardi certainly was entertaining in the late 90s, but that move on rahal was on a wing and pray. Felt sorry for Greg Moore, i think Christian Fillipardi cut him up, guess that's racing for you. Gil De Ferran really unlucky, drove a commanding race.

Is anyone else having trouble hearing the race analysis over the cars?

that FAKIN GRID LINEUP .... "get out of here" :-D

And they say modern F1 cars are wide...

a good run, but the sound.......

RIP Moore and Krosnoff. My dad got me their autographs 😢

Unbelievable, these cars r fast, cool looking, and the engines sounds crazy. Indy car 2022 you suck?

Real men drove these cars.

I was there! I was almost 3 years old

1:04:42 minnie mouse

Not only have you cropped a 4:3 into 16:9, but there's also only audio in the left channel. I get it's free but this is honestly so amateurish... complete joke indycar.
