I absolutely love how the classic CART races keep winning the vote! I think people are sending a message here. I wonder... will there be an IRL race people vote for this off season if they keep this thing up?
+Empty Box this weeks poll originally had the 1981 Pocono 500 on winning by a big margin (that was the last non-Indy USAC sanctioned race, they filled the field with Silver Crown cars because only around 10 people entered the race); unfortunately they apparently don't have the rights for it, I'd imagine that USAC do. The thing seems have been broadcasted by someone though: and I'm hoping that we get to see it at some point. Its probably not a good race but I don't care because its something that you'll never have seen before, and its also technically Foyt's last Indycar win. Other than that, I don't think you'd see any non-CART thing wi. Its a shame though, I'd love to see some of the pre-CART stuff that surely exists somewhere, while pretty much everything from the mid 80s on is available in some form
The main thing is that the V6 Twin Turbo's are small and fuel efficient. By which there are plenty of reasons why Indycar will never revert back to V8 Turbo's. But however I do miss the sound that equals a thousand orchestras.
v6s have slower throttle response, and they arnt as loud so they dont give the fans the exhilaration of a v8 and at the end of the day the fans are why IRL failed and why we have a IndyCar union today Indy was never big enough to have a split lets agree maybre a sport like F1 could survive a split but we barely did
Foi uma das provas mais emocionantes que vi a quase vitória do Gil de Ferran por milésimos, a grande vitória do Mark Blundell e o pódio completado com Raul Boesel.
No Spec racing here. Three different chassis, four different engines, and two tire manufacturers. You never knew what combo would have an advantage. My home track too. Hogan always ran an unsponsored car for some nooblet, this year it was a teenager-looking Franchitti. Greg Moore would have been a champion, except he was tragically killed next year. Portland, the only track where they re-fueled on the right. A previous CART driver, would win the F1 title this year, Jacques Villeneuve. Montoya went to F1 this year too.
Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean here, but Greg Moore died in 99 and Montoya went to F1 in 2001. He wasn't even in CART in 1997; his rookie season was 99.
I laugh at how some things never change. At 58:30 Al Unser Jr, like most drivers forever, spews pure BS about how "the other guy" was responsible for an incident. It's clear they were side by side for a whole straight and Jr was just trying to crowd / intimidate a rookie (Franchitti) toward the grass but Franchitti didn't lift so Jr wrecked them both. LOL
If you don't have the correct audio, just mute instead of blaring insanely loud static. Don't understand why the static has to be in there. 53:00 you can always count on Danny Sullivan to get it wrong, part a million. Being ahead of someone through a corner and down the next straightaway is sneaking through on the blind side. 1:12:45 track blocked for 30 seconds before any caution. 1:25:00 Paul Tracy puts dry tires on in the rain. It goes as well as you'd expect.
+taufiqutomo Virtual safety car worked well this year in F1. Avoided a lot of downtime behind a real safety car and didn't destroy the gaps in the race between drivers.
You should REALLY deinterlace these old broadcasts before posting them and you should use a "duplicate fields" (aka "bob doubler") technique which would give a decent looking 60 frames per second progressive image.
