Holy crap, that venturi tunnel extension at the back of Brabham's car is bonkers. At least I think its that? The car looks like a weird hybrid of a 82 and 83 F1 car kinda glued together. Love seeing stuff like this, thanks for the upload!
That tech was called BLAT - Boundary Layer Adhesion Technology - which was essentially the predecessor to the Delta Wing car. Extreme low drag with focus on an early version of what is called a rear de-fuser today.
Wish this track was still around.....
everyone does
Losing Riverside and Ontario was an absolute sin but, Southern California real estate was just too darn valuable. So Sad!
Loved the Gurney Pepsi Challenger as a kid! Such a cool looking car!
The "Roger" the announcer was referring to was two-time Indy 500 winner Roger Ward. His voice is recognizable.
*Rodger Ward
@@SolamenteVees Aaaahhhh! Thanks for spotting that error and for your correction of Ward's given name.
This brings back memories 👍. Lots of run off room .
These 3+ hour races CART used to run on road courses are in sane.
I love.

@@jimbosc Fantastic. I love learning stuff like that and seeing the embryonic parts of future tech. Thanks for the info 👍
What also makes Brabham's car unique is with the naturally aspirated Chevy engine, while most other entrants were using turbo-Cosworth engines.
@@bloqk16 So cool to hear a conventional V8's exhaust note coming from an open-wheel car.
I'am not a fan of crashes but I would like to see both of them from this race.
NORMALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES on the Pepsi cars! Listen!!!
Is that Larry Huffman doing the announcing?
Sounds more like Bob Jenkins to me
no volume
Use your button on the right 🤣
One ear only
