1997 Molson Indy Vancouver at Streets of Vancouver | INDYCAR Classic Full-Race Rewind 

Wow, what a great race! I'd forgotten how good the CART series was during those years!

Does anyone agree that IndyCar should return to Vancouver?

I know that everyone is biased but for me, the 90’s were the golden age of racing. Indycar, CART, F1, IMSA, ALMS, NHRA, etc.. The racing was intense and still had a bit of the danger of the old days that forced drivers to be “gentlemen racers”. Sportscar/endurance racing had closing speeds of near 100mph between classes and the GTP cars early in the decade were the pinnacle of absurdity. Governing bodies were struggling to limit the new computers, Panoz, mclaren, Mercedes, Porsche, et al were battling in GT1. It was a candy store for race fans with a touch of the ruinous corporate domination that was to come. I feel lucky to have seen it first hand. Videos like this bring back so many happy memories of going to every race my dad and I could make it to. Thanks for the upload.

this race was 2 yrs before i feel in love with indy so this race was new to me . Indy is the best aw man

Finally, a full, complete version of this race! Keep 'em coming, IndyCar!

Look at all these goddamn cart races! Now you're talking IndyCar!

Wow....the memories! I was in high school, was a weekend....took the skytrain to stadium station, and verrrrrrrr.....uhmmmmmmmmm! That amazing mrrrr echo of engines as the cars curve around the stadium, in the some what tunnel of pacific st......will never forget.

I remember playing this circuit on a game called "Andretti Racing" on my grandfathers Windows 98 computer. Great times

Man ...the cars .sound and that race track ... The drivers had a good fun out there

IndyCar I love you!

Race starts at 25:20

they have to bring it back. Vancouver was poppin in the 90s

I always preferred this track layout in Vancouver to the other one. This layout was simpler and the sections leading up to the hairpin and the one underneath the sports arena were mega 🏁

27:19 just imagine being on the SkyTrain with those cars going under you!

Thank you so much for the upload! I lived in this City my whole life and I remember going to these races each year with my mom as a child and by myself since I got older since she couldn't stand the noise anymore, lol. Half of the course now has been redeveloped into condos, and the other half City traffic still resumes. I hope you guys bring back some City racing back into Vancouver. We welcome you guys back with big open arms. PS; please upload more Vancouver races. ;)

come back to vancouver!!!!

I was there in 2002. Awesome experience!

This is when there were all the great names and the cars sounded awesone

Thanks Indycar for another great race video.

greatest years of indy ,mansell,blundell,superb racing

Os carros mais lindos que já vi!

Thanks for posting this. Brings back fond memories. My Dad took us every year.

Awesome IndyCar!

Maurício Gugelmin's first victory in Formula Indy And Gil de Ferran, who now lives in heaven, arrived in 3 Jimmy Vasser em 2

Awesome video! I think the next one-hit wonder will be the 1998 True Value 500 which would be the first IndyCar posted a TNN telecast! Other one-hit wonders would be the 1996 Las Vegas 500K, the 1997 Las Vegas 500K, the 1982 Road America race, and the 1997 Phoenix 200!

Thank you indycar

Man I miss the days when I could recognize the teams and drivers by their cars. Classic Marlboro Penske, Texaco/K-Mart Newman-Haas, Target Ganassi, Players, Kool Green. These days drivers' cars change colours every race I can never keep up. Only the McLaren's and maybe Dixon I can consistently point out.

Loved this race. Shame IndyCar doesn't run here anymore. Massive shame :( this was probably my favourite race here ever. Shame I never got to attend a race. I was hopping to attend the race this July at Exhibition Place but with this Corona Virus I doubt it will happen SO I left Toronto anyway to Alberta

Gugelmin’s only career victory.

I blue flagged this race at the hair pin.

1997 is the last golden indycar season.

Thanks for the upload!

Man i miss CART

zanardi was a maniac lol

i went to this a bunch as a kid every year the sound was insane, so crazy to see all these streets i drive on now but these cars running on them track looks kind of garbage to overtake on though

Esos sonidos de los autos de fórmula cart de los 90s completamente atronadores en todos los circuitos con sus majestuosos motores v8 turbo con una aceleración muy aloca da completamente fuera de serie de casi 900 caballos de potencia absoluta.

Vancouver needs to bring this back to the city.

Awesome Zanardi

Alex Zanardi 😎 😡 😜 One of favourite racing driver's.

Bringing back this race IndyCar?

if you're wondering, the lola is the one he said needed a lot of developement, just judging by results.

Formula E is coming to Vancouver. But we need an Indycar race in western Canada FFS. Someone build a circuit in the Fraser Valley somewhere. One that can have an Indy race and then an F1 race in the future.

Michael Andretti was the man!!!! Haas should've never gone to swift! Mikey surely would've gotten at least 2 more championships

I know it will probably never happen, but I would love to see IndyCar race at Monaco. Just the tunnel part of this race is reminiscent of the tunnel part at Monaco.

Vi isso ao vivo no SBT. Narração de Téo José

49:23 Michael does a nice drift through the corner. Pretty epic stuff.

Thanks!

I was there! 🏁

MY Reynard CARS and i really mean it, Reynard designs rights and drawings now belongs to me since 2005 , but too late, nothing to do with it . anyway so beatifull cars and chasises

This is nice.

It was a nice race. ☺

Unic Victori Gugelmim !! In automobilism

1997.. I think this was the first year neither Andretti or Unser didn’t make the podium in Vancouver, let alone the first time neither one won!

Remember it precisely - was a terrible day... 😭

Super Sub Pupo Moreno! 🏎

Hiro matsushita looks nice .

are we going back soon?

Greg Moore.... :( :(

I was 7 years old in the crowd

great pre race

Thank you so much. But can you please not have the winner on every thumbnail

Primeira e única Vitória de um gaucho na formula indy

A shame how residential areas complained about the races in Vancouver being to loud and congest the area on race day. My cousin for one purpose, purchased an apartment suite (concord pacific) near main, cambie Pacific st, for the reason knowing the races are held annually there so he can have front seats from the view in his building. Bastardly people of Vancouver how could you do this to your city. This event generated money and revenue for land\property owners like my cousin. Part of the reason why I dislike ppl who complain for the interest of none other than their own. I pitty you Vancouver overcrowded good for nothing city. Learn from cities like Toronto and Montreal where they appreciate entertainment and enthusiasts.

Was this in June or after that of that year? You know, I was born in June of 1997. The first of that month to be exact.

Paul Page was the voice of CART. With all due respect to Bob Varsha.

1:50 LMAO Pupo XD

Volta, CART !

I think this circuit would make a great E-prix

Zanardi should have been disqualified and suspended for taking Herta out while a lap down. Then he blames Herta, who doesn't need to leave room for lapped cars in a non passing place.

Formula E is coming next year in Vancouver 👀

Boleia a perna Parceiro E venha tomar o mate conosco

Gaúcho from Santa Catarina

Paul Tracy did you ever finish?🤣🤣

Formula E should race at Vancouver!!!

This is Cart World Series, not Indy Car.
