@@aaronisgrateThe problem is that there's so few chassis manufacturers left. Lola? Gone (though I've heard its reopening next year). Reynard? Gone. March? Gone. Eagle? I don't know how, but they're somehow still around, just not in IndyCar. G-Force? Absorbed into Panoz. Panoz? Only does sports cars now. Riley & Scott? Now known as Riley Technologies, and only does sports cars now. Porsche? Gave up on Indycar. McLaren? Only does F1 now. Watson? Gone. Parnelli? Gone. Chaparral? Gone. Wildcat? Gone. Lightning? Gone. Galmer? Gone. DeltaWing? Their ICONIC concept was too radical a departure. Vollstedt? Gone. IAM? Gone. Coyote? Gone. Finley? Gone. Kingfish? Gone. Antares? Gone. Swift? Hasn't built racecars since 2013. Falcon? Never turned a single lap. The only open wheel customer chassis builders left are Dallara, Stohr, Tatuus, and some other minor manufacturers. Stohr and Tatuus are clearly not up to the challenge of building anything that isn't a chassis for junior categories, and IndyCar doesn't seem to want chassis competition, even though Roger Penske is one of the old CART heads, and he should want to bring that "engineering arms race" back. The only series where teams still develop and build their own chassis these days is F1, which has devolved into "The Red Bull Show" (Ferrari's win this past weekend at Singapore, I can't explain, but at least it wasn't Red Bull).

Diego Ospina Me sumo a tu causa, al igual que me gustaría que retornarán otras pistas, lo más concreto es el próximo año ya que volverá Laguna Seca y la incorporación del circuito de las americas, y en 2020 lo más probable (ojalá así sea, cruzó los dedos 🤞), la vuelta de Surfers Paradise y Richmond, incluso, Mark Miles dijo que la última fecha del campeonato, Laguna Seca, será el próximo año, no mencionó que iba a ser en más años, así que me da a entender que lo más probable sea en un óvalo, pienso en el California Speedway, para el 2020, ojalá así sea.
Diego Ospina Diego, tenlo por seguro que va a ocurrir, solamente tienen que definir, fecha y hora para hacerlo, y por lo que entiendo, podría ser en febrero, como primera fecha, tal como ocurrió en las primeras carreras, de que regresa compadre, regresa, la gobernadora de queensland hablo, Mark Miles hablo, y con Will Power y Scott Dixon en la categoría , es cuestión de tiempo.
Those were such incredible days... God I loved that race and that track back in the 80s and 90s. It was heaven for speed, sights and sounds. It was electric.
We were there. Drove up from Cincinnati and hung out with my brother and sister-in-law, who still live in Michigan. First time. We went again to the US 500.
I really felt bad for both Boesel and Simon.I was sitting on the top row of the main grandstand that day and Boesel certainly seemed to be on his way.This was a good,if not great,race.Had it been only 400 miles it would have been better,as the attrition back then was terrible...As I was walking out, I heard another fan say "The race no one wanted to win." That kind of sums it up.
It must've been a strange feeling for the Team Penske drivers to come back to Michigan for the race with 200 horsepower less after having tested the Mercedes-Benz/Ilmor I500 engine at that track in the weeks prior to the Indy 500.
Just listen to the sound of those engines! And look at the size of the crowd in the grand stands! This is what racing used to be about, please somebody fix today’s rubbish!
Man the speed of these things and this was nearly 30 years ago!!! Come on indycar the drivers want it the fans want it, bring this back and bring this super speedway back. The speed, the noise, the drivers, and the cars brought the fans and sponsors. You know the saying, "Build it and they will come".
TheUsmc1488 well Jay Frye just became the president of Indycar. I think we are getting closer to those days again. Thank god Tony George doesn’t have real power positions in Indycar.
I was rooting for Nigel watching this race - he could not catch a break that season. He had chances to win or get big points, as the Penskes, whilst the quickest, were not invincible. Phoenix - made a mistake out of the pits Indy - hit by Dennis Vitolo Detroit - engine Toronto - engine Michigan - throttle New Hampshire - suspension (after colliding with Mario) Vancouver - badly timed pitstop Nazareth - mis-placed pre-load ballast Nigel didn't do himself any favours by refusing to test in the second half of the season, and getting short-tempered on occasion, but since he was going back to F1, he had little to lose.
MIS heck of a track.. Terrific traffic jam going and coming.. Not a track to spectate on a cloudless summer day ! Water water water ! Always fun racing and one of the few tracks you can see the entire track from the stands.
This is the soundtrack missing from my living room on Sundays. Indycar and Formula 1 go back to these glory days. Oh and I was at this race. Wouldn't bother now. Cars and drivers are boring now.
ESPN used to be Speed World. Now it's just NFL NBA sprinkled with some MLB and talk about LeBron James world.. It makes sense why they have lost interest.
Yep even their coverage for NFL games has sucked more than ever and are convinced that their coverage of the NBA talking about LeBron James 24/7 is gonna keep them alive.
Engine reliability was really an issue through the 80s and 90s. It was in F1 as well - interesting... the kers stuff looks much more complicated nowadays.
Yes because the engines were run to the absolute limit while today's engines are restricted in terms of boost, revs, certain materials etc. so they are far less stressed and of course production is much more exact today. The top level series really need to go back to allow constructors fathoming the limits of technology.
I want more ovals in 2020. We need Michigan, Fontana, Atlanta, New Hampshire, Puebla, Chicagoland, and Kentucky into the Calendar. I understand that Oval racing is dangerous because of several incidents in the past. But there are risks that every driver has to live with it. Indy Car was created for that purpose. If the sport get more road and street events, the existing ovals excluding the Indy 500 would cease to exist. Take the races that NASCAR doesn’t want to run anymore and replace them into this series. I expect a major transformation when the new decade begins.
@@bétaalfa-g2i Short ovals are not dangerous at all. That's why Indycar should add many short ovals on the schedule because they usually offer good racing and are very safe.
maybe if people bought tickets, they would. the danger is a minor issue considering there are plenty of mile ovals that can run IC. the problem is getting them to the track since IC doesn't give TV money to the tracks to run, while nascar does since they have a bigger TV contract
Michigan was the toughest 500 miles in IndyCar. Mansell, when he won there in 1993 pretty much had to be pulled from the car he was exhausted. IndyCars should go back to Michigan, I think in todays day & age more cars would be able to run the entire 500 mile distance...
Mansell at this point was out of shape, period. Two years prior at Monaco after dueling with Senna, he was so tired at the podium ceremony he could barely stand. His back injury from '86 didn't help matters much either.
Bring back MIS, bring back the 500 mile triple crown, get rid of the double header at Belle Isle. 1.5x points at MIS and Pocono, 2x points at Indy. 1x times points everywhere else and NO DOUBLE POINTS FINALE.
We've traded great cars and dull racing for great racing and dull cars. It's a good trade but its still fun to see these old cars in action even if there's far less on-track action and they breakdown all the time.
the irony is that there were more ovals and the sport dangerous, and the sport is safer than before but yet, less ovals. Drivers being all balls and no brains is what makes it dangerous for not only ovals, but circuits too.
@@nolancain8792 not only that, but more fans attend more circuits and garbage advertising for ovals outside the 500 and Iowa which causes less people to show up
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT I really think we can do the late 90’s speeds again in these current cars at Michigan. They’re incredibly safe as well so the risk should be acceptable.
I know it's a viscous circle, no fans equal no money, no money equals no fans. Indycar needs to entice manufacturers and sponsors back by spending some money. Look at those full stands. Cars were covered in sponsors, multiple engine manufacturers , and multiple chassis. Free up the rules to entice manufacturers back. Give them a reason. Yes, no manufacturer is going to have a twin turbo eight or six cylinder in their SUV. However racing alows engineers to exercise their brains, trouble shoot, design, and test. It's still a worthy invest.
TheUsmc1488 but because of Tony George and the split they still don’t want nothing to do with Indycar. I mean Toyota and Ford should be back in Indycar. The series is starting to grow a bit and if they would ever come back it could make the series even bigger. They are wasting so much money in NASCAR when not a whole lot of people care about it anymore. Thank You Tony George for still having the sport of Indycar crippled.
sdsmt99 well they still have all kind of beer sponsors still in NASCAR. Maybe they need to get them back into Indycar. Budweiser, Miller, and Coors used to sponsor in Indycar for a long time and by the middle of the split they all went to NASCAR.
listen to those engines when they fly by the sidetrack cam, there is nothing like it. The new cars have completely lost the thrilling sound, I miss it a lot.
The golden years of Indycar: 80`s and 90`s. Fantastic cars and drivers. Good calendar. Races from march until october. I definitly miss those years.
Think everyone misses these day, hopefully they will return
