I never noticed this before but I can finally hear subtle differences between the Honda and the Chevy motors. The Hondas just sound more aggressive especially during upshifts while the Chevys sound smoother especially during the full throttle flyby.
@@DeoVindice_61-65 I guess. But there’s already a popular race in St Pete which is only 2 hours away from Sebring, so would sufficient fans drive to Sebring for an Indycar race? Maybe? 🤷♂️
Thanks for the coverage Lanky. Racer and Indycar need to license your pre-season videos. They are better than anything else out there! One of the best features is "no announcers", just the sweet sound of those engines.
Amen to that,i have followed F1 for 50 plus years if this season is a repeat of 2023 i am done! i am sure Indycar will be stellar as we have come to expect!
I drive Sebring quite a lot. Yes it is very bumpy, but most racers actually appreciate the extra level of challenge to the car and driver. The full course layout is first rate with variety, challenges and skill required to go really fast. Plus, when you factor in the historical nature of it, one can understand why the calls to "fix" it over the years have never really gotten too serious consideration. It is as iconic as any other track in America.
@@LankyTurtle - i've no need to argue that point with them, GREAT you're granted access. Will you take a break and watch WEC 2024 1st round at Qatar Saturday here on YT ?
Is it only an impression of mine, or these cars sound louder than F1 cars?🤔 They have both V6 engines (1.6 Liters F1, 2.4 Indycar), but Indycars sound better in my opinion...
Yep they indycar sounds louder, because f1 car got a single turbo v6 while the indy got a twin turbo and plus f1 got the Mguh system that sucks all the sounds from the exhaust
Sou suspeito de falar da Indycar, se eu não estiver equivocado, eu acompanho a Indycar desde 1993, 1994 ou 1995. Reconheço que alguns anos lá atrás a Indycar perdeu um pouco da sua VERDADEIRA identidade, ou seja a sua COMPETITIVIDADE, pois a falta de qualidade de alguns pilotos no passado fez com que a categoria perdesse o seu VALOR. Hoje a Indycar está numa evolução bem considerável, é logico que há muitas coisas a melhorar, a evoluir, mais nada é simples, nada é tão fácil e eu creio que o Sr. Roger Penske e todos da equipe que administram atualmente a Indycar, ele vão colocar a Indycar no seu lugar de origem, como a categoria mais competitiva do MUNDO, não falta muito, a evolução é considerável, mas não vamos parar.
I have a question lanky, this might not be related to indycar, but how close can you get to the cars in the paddock for the sebring 12 race weekend? Is it the same as daytona? ive only ever been to daytona 24 two years ago, and you can get real close to cars in the garages
Yeah just like Daytona you can go right down by the cars. The only difference is Sebring doesn't have permanent garages like Daytona does, so the team's set up temporary garage areas right next to their transporters in the paddock
@@Aro3o6 Correct, paddock area is open to all ticket holders at the race, you don't need an extra pass or anything like at Daytona, you just have to cross over the front straight on one of the walkover bridges
They've been testing it off and on the past year but none of the cars have it for this test. They have a hybrid test coming up at Indy and one here in Sebring in April for a planned race debut in July of this year
They could be trying out new dampers and other setup concepts. Every team is making marginal improvements year over year, event if it's measured in a tenth of a second.
They took a decent chunk of weight out of them, lighter aeroscreen, magnesium gearbox and other components in preparation for the heavy hybrid units that will be installed later in the year. There are small changes to the car and probably tire compounds every year
@@victorylanefreight5294 They've tested the hybrids multiple times, even at Sebring already, but none of the cars in this test have the hybrid units installed
I would love to see Kyle Larson drive this series for at least a year. Make a serious commitment to running these cars. I believe he would be a front runner. LORD Willing would more than likely go home with the car in one piece 😂
@@coko7497 They've tested the hybrid units several times and the engines sound the same, maybe a refined ear could hear an electric wine mixed in there somewhere. But at this test none of the cars ran the hybrids. They've been delayed until later in the year because not all the teams have the hybrid units yet.
@@LankyTurtle ya! That's sad, I liked when Oldsmobile, Mercedes, cosworth, Chevy, Honda, and more I can't come up with right now. And several chassis too. Hate to see die like this, spec. Engine is a rookie or kid kind of class. Thanks for FYI 😃
