I will always remember just how INTENSE this was. A Four-Time Winner hadn't happened in exactly thirty years, after three had occurred in fourteen years, between 1977 and 1991. Thus, it's sort of the Indy equivalent of the thoroughbred Triple Crown Champions. Helio last had a real shot at it this late in the Race in 2014, seven years before, and was/is now entering the twilight of his career, while no other active driver has three. Many people were thinking, "Is this our last chance to see it for a couple of decades?" Who knows if Rossi or whomever will go on a tear, obviously, but you could seriously feel the weight of history on everyone there with under five laps to go.
It’s an amazing experience and I’ve been going since 2012. Definitely the best race in the world in my opinion. And you should try to go next year! It’s something you’ll definitely enjoy! Hope to see you next year!
I’m in Sec 27 north vista ADA seats! I miss the view from the top but found I love to be that close also..takes me back to the 70’-92 when we parked on the outside of back stretch. They moved all 100 car spots to the new North Vista because they had to put up hire barriers for NASCAR.
Thanks dude! But you're next to the track... so why so much filming of the screen ... beyond that track? But thanks anyway, great sounds and atmosphere of the race in the stands! A great thing as well is to see again so many people in the stands, ... and without the 'effin' mask ! Way to go Indiana!
For the finish I usually record the leaders only because that’s the main focus of the race. And you can’t see the whole track, only what’s in front of you, so you have to watch a good majority of the race on the big screen. And masks were required at all times at the track, but a lot of people including me didn’t have it on in the stands.
Indianapolis is so large that you can only see the entirety of it from the highest floors of the 15-story Pagoda. Because of that, he's trying to show the jumbotrons that continually display the sports network (NBC Sports, these days) livestream of the Race.
