Top moments from Practice 8 for 2024 Indianapolis 500 | Extended Highlights | INDYCAR 

I can’t imagine Kyle Larsen gets overconfident about any upcoming race.

No me gusta larson , está muy subido y no es roqui

I'm sure Gordon will be coaching him up during the race, I'd be worried about getting on pit road and executing the pit stops, would be new in this style of racing.

somehow Dixon will be there at the end o7 🇳🇿

Maybe you should make an appointment with your eye doctor while you're out.

🤣🤣🤣😎

They don't put it up right away, people complain. They put it up right away and youtube does it's processing thing, people complain. People are awesome lol

You should just not watch videos under an hour old mate. They're all like that.

He can have the Chip but Larson is winning the 500 🏆

I like Dixie too however he's got his work cut out for him this year

Yeah the turn the engine down for the race!

+100 HP through increased turbo boost just for quali. times dont mean alot for this session, more about how they handle in traffic.

Some teams are running brand new parts, chassis, engines etc, while others are running older/inferior equipment. AJ Foyt Racing have enjoyed a supply agreement with Penske this season for shocks/suspension parts for example, so they'll have better kit. Dale Coyne by contrast are rumoured to be running the oldest cars on the grid, and it showed with how slow and sketchy their cars have been. Also the Honda engines haven't been as powerful in a straight line this year as the Chevrolets for example, and there can be huge variants in setups and balances even between seemingly identical cars - James Hinchcliffe mentions at 8:51 in this video the subtly different front wing configurations you can run as well. Again, there can be a big range of differences between seemingly identical cars. :) And ultimately the margins were still relatively close, 33rd place averaged 230mph across 4 laps versus 234.2mph for the pole sitter, that's only 4mph across 10 miles. And to your point about Helio - the margins are so fine. The Ganassi team didnt get a single car into the Fast 12 for example, and former Indy 500 winner (and runner up last year) Marcus Ericsson almost missed the field altogether! It doesn't discriminate. You miss the balance slightly, have an engine problem, wreck your primary car, everything can go out the window and put you behind the 8-ball. Its what makes the 500 so fascinating every year :)

A lot is due to car setup. There are so many configurations to get just right. Temperature, wind, tire wear and traffic also affect setup. There are two engine suppliers and Chevrolet seems to be better this year.

Same difference between Redbull F1 and Haas. Money buys speed.

I’m guessing they just couldn’t afford it otherwise no excuses😮

How about emailing the Speedway and ask them yourself?

Soft walls tend to "rebound" the car back out onto the track. Maybe they don't want that to happen on the straights where speeds are highest?

Would make it narrower and be very expensive. It's around $500-1000 per foot to add safer barrier. Let say $750/per ft. as an estimate. There's roughly 8100ft of the wall not covered with safer barrier. That's $6,075,000 dollars for 2 races basically.

I'm glad you aren't a safety engineer...

It will be televised on TV

@@bbtodd Thanks!

Regular nbc

@@alanluscombe8a553 Thanks! You planning to fly over tha action?! Enjoy the race.

Yeah and they are messing with buttons on the steering while thundering down the straight at 240 mph

Watch Fontana cart race from 2000 if you want to see scary fast 😳

@@GDA_Sam Guessing anyone here would be equally wary, at either track...enough with the one up's... You didn't build Fontana, you didn't race in CART...you are just a fan, like the rest of us. Leave it at that...

Thanks for letting us know...not sure what we can do with this information, but there it is I guess...

Have fun with only 100 overtakes per race

YT does the lower resolutions first. have to wait a bit for 720p/1080p

@ericneoson8763 my vision is considered terrible by opthalmology standards, and I can see it just fine. Maybe YOU should make an eye doc appointment. Just an observation.

Stop watching new videos then. Wait a day, deal with it, or come up with a better way to do it. Unless you wanna wait an actual day for a fully rendered HD video to process between formats for your viewing pleasure, you're gonna wait either way.

Was hoping someone else heard that

Question mark ❓

Emerson will visit him in a dream the night before the race...

Ask RU-vid

it encodes lower resolutions first or something. you see 360p only if you get there within like 10 mins

Scott knows his car has true speed that tells me there worked on heavy fuel today

Ask RU-vid

YT does lower res first. wait 10-15 mins and 720p/1080p will be up

So???

It's spelled practice.. maybe you need practice with English.

⁠@@truckercowboyed2638They’re engagement farming/trolling. Doesn’t take a genius to understand why practice is imperative when you’re going to be racing at 240 with 33 drivers.

@@truckercowboyed2638 It is spelled "practise" outside of the US.

F1 cars are much faster on a non oval racetrack due to handling, acce;eration, technology, etc (and money) but are speed limited so don't go 380km/h like these Indycars are doing in qualifying. Setting up for an oval track is completely different to a road circuit. So Indycars are faster in terms of top speed but only on an oval track. There's pretty much nothing that can corner as fast, brake as quickly or hold the road like an F1 car on a race circuit. I think in 2019 or 2020 both Indycars and F1 raced at the same track in the USA and the F1 pole time was around 15 seconds a lap faster. *don't quote me on this my memory's not top of the line!). F1 cars can corner so fast because they generate extreme down forces which limits top speed. Also they only weigh around 750kg which is really light. Not sure how fast the F1 cars could go if setup for speed only or setup for an oval track if that's even possible. Something would most likely break quickly though. It must be insane to be one of the Indycar drivers doing these sorts of speeds and holding full throttle around the bends. They must be just about starting to get tunnel vision. A factory road legal Tesla can accelerate to 100km/h faster than either an F1 or Indycar

@@mikestray76 Thank you Mike. Very helpful to know that. So I guess a Indy car will not be very good on a road circuit as F1 cars. I always wondered about this. Thank you.

"For more than 175 laps, the field became hunters... Mario the hunted." (From "Legends of the Brickyard", 1987)

Because almost 70 people have died during this race?? Sounds like something you might want to prep for, as much as possible.

Shout out twin cities

Same I’m only here for Larson

I’m here for both.

Brilliant acknowledgment "CART" 👍​@@tb4769

Yes, it has. Growing up, I had a neighbor who was an A-1 mechanic. My mother told me that he was a senior mechanic on an Indy race team, and left the sport after the driver was killed on the track. He apparently blamed himself. He never said anything about it, and I didn't dare ask. I need to get back to the Museum at the track and delve into those books on the second floor to see if I can find his name in the individual records. His name was Beauvais, Mr. Beauvais. I'm not sure, but he may have been on Jerry Unser's crew in the late 1950s, perhaps Bill Buchovich's crew. I don't know, there were several fatalities in the 1950s and I wasn't born until the next decade.

He's Australian and holds American citizenship...anything else?

We miss you Jackie Stewart 💞😘😢

Read some history, the 500 has always been an international affair since its inception in 1911. Lots of foreign car builders and drivers showed up.

@@tbh791, for some time it was an official race for the F1 world championship, so you are absolutely right. Awesome race.

Races are better without downforce. Ask a motogp why he hates downforce on bikes

Down force literally make all racing worse, baring maybe ovals if your a pack racing guy.

Because this is freaking Indy!

Who won the F1 race at Imola again? Oh it was Max Verstappen wasn't it? Wow what else is new?

@@tommythetreat000 He's stuck on his Scalextric where the only choice of 2 cars ever win.......wait that's F1 !!! 😲

How about you hop in a car and try to win this race. Highly doubt you could turn a lap over 200 mph, they're qualifying at over 224.

Elitist F1 fanboys are so annoying.

Quite a lot, as it turns out!

Yeah I'd love to see you try to handle one of these machines, Little Petey. You wouldn't make it through Turn 1.

​@@3338MANYeah you'd be scared to drive one.

Let's hope his comment was made in jest, & he's not actually this clueless about oval racing 😮

i am just saying, 8 practise sessions? little too much..i love motoracing, i know what it takes to drive machines like this, but ovals? not a fan of that... i guess only people that measure with eagle per freedom are enjoying that

Ok mister burns what do think it’s exciting

If it was so boring then you wouldn’t have clicked on the video, dummy🤣🤣🤣

And yet here you are….

Says the guy, watching highlights of aforementioned, boring circle racing...slow Monday?

this upcoming sunday

Practice makes perfect! They have to set the cars up from time trial to race set up

@@russellcurrie6099 that is what FP1, FP2 and FP3 is for. Now we have FP8 and more FP this week? seems like alot. is there any other racing series where they practice so much for one race?

There used to be three weeks of practice and two weekends of qualifying before 1998.

This race, seem order and practices they have always done. Nothing new.​@cheesejadeitekiwifox

hero---a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities Notice how they use "or" instead of "and" to separate those distinctions??? Words don't care about your fake patriotism...try again.

That's because they've already heard the driver come on comms and say he is OK. Or it could just be bad editing
