Amazing how despite the red flag period, CBS stayed on air the entire time and still did all the interviews instead of cutting off the broadcast to televise track and field!
Love these older races. Just insane that they used to send out the safety trucks onto the circuit while it was still green! Not to mention the corner workers. Brave brave folks.
Enjoying the old races. It's a rare race broadcast in which Pescara gets a mention; David Hobbs was actually in a Lotus Elite for the 4-hour World Sportscar Championship race held there in 1961.
Swine Brothers We need to get two IRL races from 1998 back onto RUclips which are the Pep Boys 400K and Visionaire 500K! Once that happens, that will mean every IndyCar race since 1990 is on RUclips since the 1997 Pennzoil 200 was put back onto RUclips back in March.
Th last race in the F1 track of Detroit, The Indy has'nt raced in the Phoenix F1 track. The track with a actual vision, isn't the worst track ever in open wheel top level race. Abu Dhabi and Sotchi or certain urban track in the 2000's years will be worst.
Ken Squier goofed on Michael Andretti calling him Michael Waltrip. Not the last time cars dodging safety car during a Detroit Grand Prix. Drivers have do that in 1993 race.
I think they should just add both One race at each and maybe they might attract F1 again too but at the same time they might want to make the downtown Street circuit idea with a few extra turns because if not you making it look like a white oval track which is like Michigan international speedway
What happened to the full course cation? Mario’s race was ruined because of it! The whole race was a total waste because of the very poor way they ran it! The people in charge, should’ve had a full course caution!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
i hope the new detroit track wasn't look like oval and had esses to bring challenge. Also, i missed Chris Economaki and can we have Mike Joy back to Indy booth?
25:43 - Safety Worker: Quick, let's cut across the course before we're run over.

This was the year after 2 of them paid a heavy price for that practice and Jean Patrick Hien died at Vancouver because of it.
11:18, I didn't know Micheal Waltrip was an indycar driver!
I notice that too
Enjoying the old races.

The 10th and last race on the downtown Detroit circuit
Until 2023
Why do I get the feeling that IndyCar is about to announce something I don't like?
RIP Belle Isle.
45:49 Is that Belle Isle? If so, how ironic is it that there is an aerial view of Belle Isle shown during a race on the City Centre Course?!
No, it’s not Belle Isle. It’s downtown Detroit.
Amazing track. Too bad F1 abandoned this in 1988 as it had some interesting races.
Version of this track has been made for Indy Car Racing 2 recently.
Some classic Hobbo commentary!
40:14 David Hobbs expresses his misgivings about safety trucks -- later on in the race, this would prove prescient...
What are the nrs on the steering wheel of Al Under Jr?
Odd to hear Chris Economaki during an Indy broadcast.
Great upload. Thanks Indycar.
Vitolo's a huge fan of Newman/Hasse.
Bookmark 1:24:00
Greatish race so far.
The Major League Baseball on CBS theme is heard in this video!
Emerson is the best!
It looks such a good race track. Shame that the new proposed track cant be this big.
11:18 Michael Waltrip eh??
I got my tickets to long beach in a few weeks
WTF! Mario Andretti chocked the security car at 1:41:10 I have never seen this yet.
Too bad Cobo is gone and they probably couldn't do an anniversary race on the old Detroit circuit

SCCA flaggers?

Chris Economaki the same man who fell asleep. 47:10
Beautiful cars unlike today's ugly ones!!!!!
