Solid synopsis. I do believe that Mario was a naturalized US Citizen by ‘69? Previous to Emmo’s win that would go back to Graham Hill in ‘66 for last foreign born ‘500’ winner.

The craziest Turismo Carretera race ever was the 1948 South American GP that started in Buenos Aires and finished in Caracas (yes, 9,576 km; 5,950 miles of racing divided in 14 stages!).

The last ever race held on roads was back in 1997. Instead, the last multiple-days stage race was held in 1986.

One common thread with a lot of these cars is a complete disregard for the driver's life. Imagine hitting the wall in that flimsy sidecar monstrosity.

Sir Jackie pawed the way of security in F1 as we know it today. Such a amazing character!

If I remember correctly, Al Jr had been involved in 3 previous "questionable incidents" prior to this, where he basically took a page from Paul Tracy's book and punted cars off track--- Mario twice, and Emmo once. This was his second attempt with Emmo, and the result was a bitter pill to swallow. Al Jr's driving improved after this, though, and I don't recall him trying this crap again since it cost him a potential 500 win.

The late 80s and 90s was the best Indy Car racing imo All the names, some 70s veterans, the 80s rising Stars... Miss those races The 500 this year was a great old school style race, not the same but very exciting!!!

👍👍

Little Al should of kicked his ass

Al Unser Sr drove for Penske. Al Unser Jr drove for Galles.

I used to be a sign painter and did lettering for race cars decades ago. Never got near anything big time like an Indy car. What I can't figure out is at 4:24, some of the worst-looking lettering ever seen for "Pat Clancy Spl" and the number is on this magnificent car that must've had tens of thousands of man hours and in today's money, hundreds of thousands if not millions, of dollars into its development. So they just let some mechanic or random guy do a half-baked job on that lettering? Like they couldn't have found some legitimate sign painter to spend a couple hours doing it up right? That looks worse than the graphics on a jalopy at the average small town dirt track. Ridiculous!

Not always. Not for years. It used to be. Now it's saccharine entertainment, every car the same, no experimentation, no true competitive innovation.

The Williams was easily the best handling car - The extra wheels stopped the back end hanging out in corners and allowed greater mid-corner speeds. Well, it did on my Scalextric track 😀

Interesting Clip. Thanks. 👍 Harkening back to the days when innovative design was more obvious to the common man. Made for fascinating and exciting times.

Jody never said the Car was “rubbish”, but said it drove like a Saloon Car, and he had to adjust his driving style accordingly!

I do like 312P Ferrari and 512M

No mention of the powerplant in the Eagle Aircraft car?

For mo' gription!

I'm just barely old enough to remember when Indy cars were experimental. It was a thrill to tune in to the race back then. And I was dismayed when uniformity of design was instituted. What a bore.

Awesome video, the TC is one of the best racecar Racing in South America by far. Thanks.

There was also a Ferrari F1 car prototype with eight wheels...

❤AMAZING ❤

Indy used to be a place of development that anyone could challenge even from there home Garage, now everything seems to be canned and cloned and cost millions of dollars to compete, a great Tax write off for the rich. I would like to see a race where the cap in spending is 50k and the builders had to use their own ingenuity.

4,047 miles? 😂

You have to love that being nearly as good as a 917 is a mark of greatness.

I didn’t care for the AI.

Wilson waa clueless. Wow.

2:06 how the fuck do some people manage to have no brakes and no steering at the same time, at that speed....

When I was young the 512 was by far my favorite Ferrari due to Steve McQueens Le Mans. I remembered coming home every day (I’m not exaggerating) from preschool and watching it. However as I’ve gotten older I now prefer both the 312P and 312PB, but I still have a soft spot for the 512!

A small precision: Ferrari didn't win the 1973 World Championship. Matra won.

La. Porshe 917 est mythique.

Along with the P series these are one of the best looking race cars. A great time for Sports prototypes the 1970’s were. Fantastic video. Thanks for posting. Cheers from Texas.

This car was on pole in 1971 at Daytona. Absolutely perfect by Roger Penske. Sadly it was in a few accidents overnight. The 917 needed its transmission rebuilt in the pit lane. Mark and David still came in third. What a great effort. Thank you Mr Roger Penske

The Penske/Kirk White 512 S/M mentioned briefly in the video was in fact almost entirely re-engineered/re-built under the direction of Mark Donohue as the car was not, to put it charitably, up to Penske standards. Even with that, the car's finishing record was poor. In sum, the 512 S/M probably suffered from Ferrari's dicey financial situation at the time, as well as the company's systemic issues, both organizational and political.

"I told you not to (mess) with Rodriguez". Only Siffert safely could, with sister Gulf. Marvellous times if you could get your hands on the Balsawood. To me these Modena models even looked strangely like fast rags. And Pedro made the fiinal mistake. Thankyou for the red. :)

Reliability was a big issue. And your AI narrator needs to slow down

only listen to human beings. Rule 1.

Beautiful car, but lost everything... that's Ferrari

Последний болид возможно затаившийся трансформер

Maybe it’s just me but why’d we get away from this in the Indy series/ Indy 500. So many innovations, Half baked ideas and interesting tech. All the racing is sooo boring now

5:29 such a gorgeous car❤

The irony of being an aricraft engineer who designed the least aerodynamic car to ever see the brickyard 🤣🤣

Why did not one want to win it, don’t you mean the race one person won
