- Maneuvering top-of-the-line IndyCars around tracks at speeds of up to 240 mph is not for the faint of heart. IndyCar drivers are elite athletes from all around the world who undergo intense physical and psychological training to become the best in the world. In May, Insider visited the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500, to see firsthand the training these drivers undergo, from the gym to the track. We followed along with Andretti Autosport driver Alexander Rossi, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 2016, to see what it takes to be an IndyCar driver.

8:53 “I really enjoy my job”
Kimi “it’s more like a hobby to me”
Narrator: “You loose 6-8 pounds in a race.”
Me: Sign me up
dehydration ... you lose water. Eat something and drink like you do on daily basis and you will gain it all back because your body will try to recoupe that lost and health water level.
Lmao so true, but 6-8 is really high amount to loose in a race
In F1 you can loose the equivilrnt or more in terms of which race you are at.
Seeing as it is water, you would gain more the next day as you would need to replenish and you would unconsciously over consume + food intake would increase. Really nice try to be humorous. Sorry, not being rude but it can be hard not to laugh at these guys when you've reached supersonic speeds personally.
@@ehrgeiz5649 You must be fun at parties.
F1 Before cost cap be like, 400mil a season please.
Even with the cost cap, it's about $140 million per season .
That's like half of the IndyCar's grid budget.
F1 isn’t a drivers competition, the Constructors Championship is what really matters, as an F1 fan I’ll say that we rarely see the best driver in a season win the title, as it is impossible to tell who is actually the best
Good examples are Russell in 2019, absolutely dominated teammate Kubica, the only fair person to compare him to, or Gasly in 2020 who demolished Kvyat and put his car in places nobody expected it to be. Also Alonso in his days in Ferrari always made his teammates look like junior drivers, and his teammates were Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.
The goal of F1 is IndyCar.
“It can cost $1 million for a race and $10 million for a season.”
Laughs in Formula 1.
Came looking for this comment lol
$10 mil for engine alone
And for the last 5 years teams spent hundreds of millions to watch Hamilton win over and over. Hard pass.
10 million?
Salary for back up driver in F1
@@TMM-N I would totally do it!
indycar: average of 1 million a race

It's amazing to know these drivers have to condition their bodies to withstand such tremendous force.

I liked how he talked about the BUTT stuff in the end! It's always BUTT first!!
Bung
Great point about world class technique (when driving at 230m/hr and thinking at that speed): it has to come from a subconscious level… it must be SO ingrained into the mind with training and practice, that the conscious mind can focus on other subtle things to ensure success.
Indy car: 1 million dollars

@@paulb2608 turning left for hours nice
@@TheRedBaron2004 You Clearly have no knowledge of racing and don't do any research, so your point has no meaning or matter.

@@TheRedBaron2004 you know that indycar sometime raced on normal circuit and roval right?
Love indycar
Yes # bussinessinsider keep this indycar content coming. Thank u !!!
epic!! love indycar
It's not just training, you have to love it
Rossi was a decade or 2 off in his timeline. Last carburetors used on an Indy Car were in 1963. The Lotus-Fords of Dan Gurney and Jim Clark. The rest of the field was fuel injected. I don't know if any cars practiced or attempted to qualify after that, but they didn't make the race if they did.
My only thought: How Romain Grosjean drove and destroyed many F1 cars and how he does it in Indy.
he really only became a real crasher when he went to Haas cuz they can't build cars worth shit
@lol shit that was one incident. Don't confuse big incidents with frequent incidents. By that logic, Hamilton crashes a lot too because he crashed into Rosberg in 2016 and Max in 2021. Also by that logic, Max should not be in F1
@lol shit By ur logic, Max should not be in F1
RoGro doing fine in Indy. In fact he's really good and aggressive at it
@@Posirep LOL Grosjean was taking out people before Haas. He took out Alonso at Lotus in 2012 that cost Fernando his 3rd title.
Wow. What an eye opener!
I don’t know
Very educating had no idea they had to deal with G-force 😯
I love this kinds of uploaded
Car driving is life but people was not like car driving
Your performance is perfect
Pretty interesting. I love to see a video about Rally and GT.
7:41 Way cheaper than F1, and they all have the same car basically. Seems like more fun type of racing 😁
dude come on its not same car
@@lawandumed4593 yea but it’s similar. Open wheel still. INDYCAR is basically the premier of single seaters when it comes to talent level and equality
@@lawandumed4593 I think he meant all indycars are the same not that indicar and F1 are the same.
Indycar is a mix of Nascar and F1 racing like they race F1-like cars on Nascar tracks.
They do road and street courses in indycar too.
Nascar races on Indy style tracks. Indy started oval racing in America.
You got it wrong buddy. Indycar was racing way before nascar.

You should get into F1. Indycar looks like a childrens sport compared to F1
@@oc911 nah we like watching racing where every driver has the chance to win, not where only 1 or 2 drivers can win. Why do f1 fans always gotta go to every other video to brag about the fact that they watch f1? Also, f1 has power steering. That's for children.
@@aztronomy7457 Well F1 does have corners lmao
@@aztronomy7457 American ignorance🤦🏻♂️
@@oc911 lmao. There's only like 3 to 4 ovals in indycar. The rest are tracks like F1 with tons of corners. Now whose the ignorant one?
For all the F1 fans saying "oVaLs ArE bOrInG aNd ReQuIrE nO sKiLl!" clearly you've never watched an Indy 500. I was at the 500 once and there was a group of Europeans sitting behind us. They said it was more exciting to watch than any F1 race they'd ever been to.
Then they were lying or havent watched many F1 races. An oval gives little to no track diversity and outplay potential.
@@zer0edgy952 There's a lot of track diversity and outplay potential. Ovals have different lengths and banking from each other. Tracks like Gateway and Darlington have different turn radii from turns 1 to 2 and 3 to 4. Indianapolis is more a rectangular shape. Some tracks are tri-ovals and have banking in the tri-oval part. Pocono is literally a triangle with different banking in each turn (nicknamed "The Tricky Triangle"). There's lots of diversity in ovals. People who don't watch just like to say there's none.
@@EricBurns1 sorry shouldn't have said none as in zero, there is 10fold less then in f1 tho
@@zer0edgy952 F1 tracks have become cookie cutters with random chicanes ruining the race. The track with character is Monaco but the cars are so wide you can’t pass. Indycar races more than ovals btw. Check the diversity of those tracks.

Ferrari in 2020: spends 150mil or more for the shittiest car🤡🤡

Wow 😯
f1 and indycar drivers should do a neck workout with Corey Taylor
also their necks arent even thaat big mines is probably bigger without specific workout but just headbanging
The practice of driving race cars on track, makes Indy racing a driver's choice of sport.
Wow...so amaizing
But if they aren’t really accelerating anymore and they’d be going at a constant velocity in a specific vector then wouldn’t they not be feeling any type of g forces anymore?
(Not including the turns)
You really don’t get physics
@@SN-hn9zi what he said is not wrong however he is not accounting the fact that the car is constantly change velocity with each turn hence why they have to build their necks so much. And he also mentioned not including the turns.

This is a sport where being in top physical and mental condition doesn’t seem like it would matter to someone who doesn’t follow the sport. Kind of like golfing or better yet professional fishing. Now that I wrote that I need to look into what fishermen do if anything. I’ve fished my whole life and I can’t really see a freshwater fisherman needing to keep in top shape. But deep sea oh man, being in shape definitely matters. Just the constant rocking of the boat is a workout on your legs. Then trying to reel in a huge tuna that could easily yank you overboard is about as intense as it gets!
Anyway great vid, glad I watched.

OK comment section, yes, and F1 car costs about $12,000,000 USD, yes a team runs you between 100,000,000 and 400,000,000 a season, yes they are faster, yes the drivers generally speaking are even more effected by extremes, lose more water, and experience more G's, hell, I will even say they are outright, far fitter athletes.
I am a huge F1 fan, and I do have to say, to me it is the most complete racing series, and deserves it's place as the pinnacle of car racing, because to me it is far more exciting, so I will even give you that.
But this is a American channel making content for their biggest audience, who will be the same people who predominantly buy the magazine: AMERICANS.
Sure, something like DTS, and things like Liberty Media buying FOM, have gone a long way to increase the profile of F1 in the US, without question. HOWEVER, F1 has ALWAYS found America the land of Missed Opportunity, for the most part.... and as such, as it has failed to make the impression in the US as it has in the rest of the world, likewise, Americans are not as familiar with F1 as they with their alternatives.
Making this video about F1 might be informative, and might impress a lot of viewers.... but there are, simply put, more viewers, within B.I.'s target audience who will watch this because it features IndyCar, than there are those who will if it was about F1.
So that is what it is about, and we of the F1 fandom maybe need just put out D's away, instead of waving them about every time there is a video on YT about IndyCar.
Why always Blue Honda Team.... Business Insider..... 😊😉
Indycar is less physical on the neck but the steering wheel feels a lot more heavier as there is no power steering
A relatively recent discovery is that lactic acid isn't actually responsible for soreness from exercise
can you make foe f1 too pleaseeee
Damn... and I thought driving was just vroom vroom go fast nyooom
I like cars 🙂

Are these the same as F-1 cars that they drive in Europe? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't know much about cars and racing.
No, F1 is considered the cutting edge of motorsport and all the F1 teams develop their own cars spending around 15x - 20x on their cars
No indy is a real race series. F1 is fake and staged entertainment.
Danny DeVito definitely has an edge then.
What is up with f1 fans I personally watch every f1 and indycar race and enjoy both but f1 fans really make me want to quit watching just so I dont turn into the snobby jerk they seem to be. Its racing, they are 2 separate types of racing and it seems like f1 gets really uptight with the competitiveness of indycar and needs to get defensive and all they can come up with is we cost more
Hi
Necc Strength
whats harder racing an f1 or a indi car
IndyCar. Fórmula 1 has power steering. IndyCar doesn’t so it’s harder to steer,
@@JordiAVZ hi jordi
Depends. F1 cars have huge downforce, the tracks are tricky especially on street circuits. The rules are also very strict in F1, so trying to go fast while following the rules can be hard. You also have power management, engine wear and gearbox wear management, you have tyre and fuel management, some tracks has a blind corner. Indycar is hard as well, those banked corners create huge g force, and their main purpose is to go fast on ovals, though they do go to non-oval tracks. It really depends. Take Monaco for example, very tight corners, small track width, lots of hard corners etc, so sometimes F1 can be harder than Indy
Indy car all day no power steering and everyone has the same spec. F1 is fake racing.
Do a Formula 1 video
I suggest editing out this mispoken quote at the end..."There's not a day that goes by that I don't take it for granted..."
I only watch indycar sometimes to watch ex-formula 1 drivers race
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ever notice IndyCar drivers have absolutely ripped arms and shoulders? It's bevause IndyCar's don't have power steering; and you could imagine that driving a race car without power steering can require a lot of bodyweight
Carb or car?
Or your father could be a Billionaire like Mazespin
or Sir Lancelot Stroll
So I just know they driving under unconscious, best luck to every racer
Do an F1 Version
But aside from strategically choosing how many times to pit stop and maybe the position you might choose to be in I don’t understand what other strategy there is going around a circular track🤨
F1 is just an expensive type of racing dominated by 2 teams where only 2 or 3 drivers wins, the rest of the drivers are wasting their time running around never winning what kind of racing is that. And if you get a chance of winning you get told to give it yo your team mate.
Yet there's always hope for a plot twist. Just watch 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix and tell me if you see that ending coming
@@luqmanardito4033 yeah hungarian gp was a weired race because of the crash, Hamilton starting alone others were pitting and weather conditions, etc but on a normal race its just Hamilton and Verstapen.
How come the indycars are so cheaper than formula 1 cars 🧐 ?
Spec cars zero development
The F1 engine and aerodynamics are insanely advanced.
Cause f1 is the innovators of motorsports they are the ones that develop everything from scratch and brought the concept for ground effect, downforce, automatic transmission, energy recovery systems, better suspension and everything
F1 is an R&D battle vs Indycar being a spec series. That's why Mercedes/Red Bull win every race while in Indycar there have been 8 different winners in 10 races (6 teams)
I don't know why people are saying that F1 is more expensive, like yeah it's for the all the rich government workers or industrial leaders who have kids, is being expensive supposed to be a good thing?
some are still childish like that 😂
Well the comparison between the two is just not a fair argument as they are different... Of course f1 will cost more will be better as they have harder tracks better aero better everything and they have development for the cars.... Indy car is a spec series that focusses on wheel to wheel racing rather than the technology side of things....
@@speeddemon2901 you can't flat out say F1 has harder tracks. F1 tracks seem to be very cookie cutter. Indycar races on different tracks/streets because they have some sort of character to them. Laguna Seca's corkscrew and Detroit's bumpy streets for example. Grosjean also says Road America feels like Spa to him.
Don't stop when you are tired. Stop when you are done.
Or when you get injured 😂😂
IndyCar racing is like diet F1
Nah not really
Poggers for God
everyone here bragging how expensive f1’s are conpared to these
It funny how every time Business Insider does a video about Indycar, all the F1 fans lose their shit in the comments lmao.
Just the mere MENTION of Indycar is enough to make their little kid brains angry. No one cares what Motorsport you decide to watch while sitting on your ass every weekend, stop being losers.
