4:17 shows the Newman/Sharp car. That's the racing team of Paul Newman and Bob Sharp. Paul Newman was a very good winning driver then too. They raced Nissan 280Zs of the time. This racing circuit was the IMSA series. International Motor Sports Association. It was soooo cool when Miami Vice featured the race in this episode. Danny Sullivan was also a top winning driver in the GTP (Grand Touring Prototype) class. These cars had the fewest restrictions and always the fastest, most exotic looking cars. MV was very unique in that it featured real people from the real world that was being used in the episode. Danny Sullivan here. Mark Breland in "Down for the Count". They weren't the best actors, but they were from their real worlds.
@@johndawhale3197 Oh, that would have been very cool. He would have probably cost way more than the studio would want to pay. I dont recall Newman ever doing TV, only movies
My favorite racer of all time appears on my favorite show of all time. One of the best vice episodes of all time. Long live Danny Sullivan and Don Johnson
I remember being at that race. The noise from those cars was so loud. Especially the swapped out engines. The Jags and Lowenbrau Porche weren't so loud but very fast. Spirit of Miami was spicy. Have to look for pics and post to RUclips.
Crockett uses his famous line, "I will clear my desk of all my other cases and make your life one living hell," for a second time in this episode. He would use the line a total of four times over the course of the series -- the other three occasions being in "One Eyed Jack", "By Hooker by Crook" and "Miami Squeeze".
Vehicular duels on Miami Vice must always be the most iconic phases of 80s history. My most favorite one from the series is Crockett's Ferrari vs. Saboteurs from Rising Sun of Death.
That #85 March that crashed at the end actually finished 3rd in the race and was driven by Emerson Fittipaldi. & Tony Garcia. This episode damn near tells the real life story of racing father and son duo John Paul Sr. & John Paul Jr. They had smuggled marijuana to fund their racing team in the early 80's. They drove in IMSA, the kind of cars shown this episode. Jr. was an exceptional championship-winning driver at the time, Much like Danny Tepper, but went to jail in 1985, (took a plea deal so he wouldn't testify against his father's smuggling operations) got out in 88', redeemed himself and turned his life around. He passed away in 2020 from Huntington's disease. . . Sr. on the other hand, was a fugitive for over a year, and spent time in prison for many years for smuggling and attempted murder of a Federal witness in 1983 before being paroled in 1999. If not already dead, is most likely a fugitive on the run. (Again.) Since May of 2001 he's wanted by the FBI for the disappearance of his then-new girlfriend. His 2nd wife disappeared in the summer of 1981 but he wasn't charged. Much like Frank Tepper in the show, he's horrible with women and may have murdered 2 of them. He hasn't been seen since. @3:20 however, that #57 March 83G that flashes by was the Blue Thunder Racing Team (again, funded by marijuana) car driven by "Super Kingpin" drug dealer Randy Lanier who went to jail for life the following year of this Vice episode. He's out now (reasons undisclosed) and back to racing and working at rehab centers helping treat others with substance abuse. A few videos of him are out on RUclips. All in all, this is probably the most realistic of all Miami Vice episodes. lol
i remember that some people called IMSA International Marijuana Smugglers Association because of the amount of drivers with the questionable resources of income
His dad was picking up prostitues and murdering them, dumping their bodies on the streets. Committing suicide was the only was to escape the death penalty or lifetime prison. Kida sad that his son didn't know it until the end.
Wow!! what a thrill to see my baby beautiful sexy Sonny Crockett racing, to catch that creep!! and finally he smashes himself against a wall!! only my brave Sonny Crockett to pull such a stunt!! he is the best!! I adore him!
I remember watching that when it first aired. My father bitched that they wrecked the windshield in the car for that scene because of how much money it cost
I watched the filming of the last few minutes of this episode with my friends when I was a teenager, you can actually see us at 5:23. Anyway the ending scene a stuntman drove the race car through a styrofoam white wall and did it in one take and was only driving about 30mph. I remember the urgency of the crew because they were losing daylight
That was almost 37 years ago. I can't remember what Sanchez's car ran, a V6 or a V8. Several GTP cars ran a V6. You'd have to go the Google route and see what comes up.
Did they use a real Ferrari Daytona in this episode? It doesn't look like the fake Vette-Ferrari they normally used and actually sounds like a V-12 Ferrari.
Even Derek Bell appears in this episode! What a fantastic episode
As a huge fan of IMSA and Group C back in the day, I loved that!
And Danny Sullivan !

It would have been so cool to see Paul Newman appear in Miami Vice. He totally could have played Sonny's dad.

I attended 2 Miami grand prix. Danny Sullivan and Al Holbert won one year in a rain soaked race.
It’s awesome to be a youngster working on the new era of GTP cars. IMSA is back!
One of the best things I love about this show, the chase scenes ❤️❤️
With cars and boats. ❤️❤️
Yeah they used a lot of GoPros to good effect

The beginning...and the ending with a few great shots of the pastel duo in-between are the best parts of this episode.

Yeah and "pick up your mess!"...oh wait, that was my mother
A compelling and unforgettable vice moment!!! Wow
GTA 6 should return to Vice City but also get some storyline inspiration from Miami Vice episodes. Even this race car episode sounds amazing
I've got some good news to tell you
@@epicm999 it is confirmed that is taking place in vice city again but bigger but I'm not sure if it's true or not
@@miguelcarlos1173 The Vice City part is probably true. I haven't seen the leaks myself though.
@@epicm999 I've got some even better news for you, its rumored to come out 2024/2025

This still holds up brilliantly
when TV was worth watching
Amen brother...
season 1 and 2, peak miami vice, love it!
My favorite ending for a _Miami Vice_ episode.
Excellent image quality
That class of racing had some awesome body styling 👌
and here I thought i was the only one with the name...
If only IMSA broadcasting looked that beautiful back in those days...
Brilliant chase! At 4:31 what's going on around the 'Daytona'? Looks like PMT running past the car and then ducking under the front of the Police car.
Amazing ending to be honest...
The storyline just keeps on- until the last second.
lol.
A little cameo for multiple time Le Mans champion Derek Bell (next to Danny "Tepper" Sullivan after he gets out of the car in victory)!

I believe the Whittington Brothers did some time also.
i totally forgot how "cinematic" Miami Vice was in the 80s
Molto bello il video io sono un tuo grande fan maemi vice
Watched this yesterday :-). Great show!
Tell me, is there a high-quality Russian translation?
The episode ending which seeded my love for this series as a 9 year old...!
4:12 a 300ZX racer? Thats rare
280zx
@@ArtVandelayOfficial nah, i saw the rear, its a 300ZX
Adam Corolla collects Paul Newman’s Nissan race cars. It said Newman/Sharp, so I guess he owns it now. He also owns Newman’s Porsche 935 race car.
Favorite cars was the Nissan cars #98 and #99
danny sullivan won the indy 500 race, driving open wheel indy car cart series. he owns operates a car racing school in arizona where he trains.
It’s crazy living that I’m living on that street and I had no idea
It is amazing what you can learn about the area you live in anymore!!!!
Miami vice expetacular seriado oss
I came for all the brooding after the crash! That's what Miami Vice was about. The brooding. This is an outrage!
5:41 Jaws 3-D
Watching the video, anxiously waiting for the crash, what a build up !
Moments like this, and stunts, will happen at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix for Formula 1 & Le Mans.
Miami LE MANS!!
*Good evening, 47. Your destination is Miami, Florida.*
Iconic! Car #85 filmed around 1985 .
His dad was picking up prostitues and murdering them, dumping their bodies on the streets. Committing suicide was the only was to escape the death penalty or lifetime prison. Kida sad that his son didn't know it until the end.
Wow!! what a thrill to see my baby beautiful sexy Sonny Crockett racing, to catch that creep!! and finally he smashes himself against a wall!! only my brave Sonny Crockett to pull such a stunt!! he is the best!! I adore him!
It's a tv show not real
Sonny is the character he's playing
Derek Bell
The irony is awesome!
IT LOOKS LIKE AN RADICAL MV8 VS FERRARI DAYTONA
🏎
I remember watching that when it first aired. My father bitched that they wrecked the windshield in the car for that scene because of how much money it cost
well, they definitely didn't wreck it for real, because that effect looks like tempered glass breaking and those windshields are polycarbonate
I watched the filming of the last few minutes of this episode with my friends when I was a teenager, you can actually see us at 5:23. Anyway the ending scene a stuntman drove the race car through a styrofoam white wall and did it in one take and was only driving about 30mph.

Can anyone tell what engine powers Frank’s car? It sounds as mean as the streets of Miami. This is also one of my FAV chases in Miami Vice.
That was almost 37 years ago. I can't remember what Sanchez's car ran, a V6 or a V8. Several GTP cars ran a V6. You'd have to go the Google route and see what comes up.
Ohh Sheet😂
