Richie Hearn and Michel Jourdain Jr. were the two drivers in this race who started the Indy 500 a month later as rookies. They later finished 1-2 in the Las Vegas 500K race five months later and were the only two drivers on the lead lap at the end.
Was 6 at this race and would wander around the track from the grandstand at the start finish line. With no question that was the loudest part of the track.
Early-mid '90's CART/Indy Car was the best auto racing series on the planet, especially when Firestone took a massive development effort and came back after two decades out of racing. Tires are so critical in racing and Firestone pushed Goodtyear to up their game and by '96-'97 had passed them by with an incredible racing tire product. By the late '90's Firestones were so superior the only way Goodyear could keep CART clients was by paying them. And as we all know Firestone took over as exclusive supplier and remain so today. I'd say their gamble to come back to Indy Car paid off!
The juxtaposition of discussing the future California Speedway right before speaking to Greg Moore dredges up a lot of sad memories of a career cut short by a very unfortunate tragedy. He shouldn't have driven with his hand injured like that at such treacherous speeds in that race. Ultimately it was his decision alone to get in that day
I’m glad you guys upload what seem to be very good masters of these old races, and they look to be de-interlaced (at least from what I can see on my phone screen) but why stretch the video to 16:9? Better than cropping it, but honesty I’d rather just live with the black bars on the side rather than have everything look squashed.
@@de-fault_de-fault Yeah. I hate when anyone crops or stretches old footage. I recently watched some early 90s F1 footage in Japan. I didn't know they had HD video then. Muse Hi-Vision LD, which I think is 1035i. What a treat. Wish that was the standard everywhere back then. Modern Indy and F1 are a far cry from what they used to be hence why I watch classic 90s and early 2000s racing. I was at the Long Beach GP last year and they had the 70s and 80s F1 cars - historic racing. The year before that was IMSA GTP. Awesome stuff.
Im new to Indycar just became a F1 fan in 2018 can someone please tell me what engines were used 90s-2010s.....i got into Indy watching Nigel Mansell amazing 1993 season i know those were 2.65l v8 turbo engines and those cars were beautiful so low
2.65l v8 turbo for CART, 4.0 and 3.5l NA V8 for Irl. Real peak would have been 97-02 CART. 900hp, up to 16.000 revs. Look up the 94 indy 500 mercedes badged engine if you like a good story
@@clicheguevara9917 thanks bro for real i just gotta learn the Difference between CART and IRL i know they combine now but still confusing anyway thanks bro Indy is sick
Zanardi still wasn't used to the American mentality where backmarkers fight to stay ahead of the leaders instead of letting them past. The same thing happened at Vancouver. Without those, he wins the title as a rookie.
Alex Zanardi certainly was entertaining in the late 90s, but that move on rahal was on a wing and pray. Felt sorry for Greg Moore, i think Christian Fillipardi cut him up, guess that's racing for you. Gil De Ferran really unlucky, drove a commanding race.
Sully was so great at color commentary, he and Paul needed to get their rhythm down but once they started to click Danny added a great fresh perspective. I loved the Page-Bobby 'for certain sure' Unser-Sam Posey trio, probably the best ever, but the endless Bobby-Sam bickering was getting tired, and I think they finally refused to work together any longer such was their mutual animosity (Bobby being banished to turn 2 at Indy was hilarious.) Paul and Danny (along with the legendary pit team of Jack Arute and Gary Gerrold and Jan B) were developing into a great team. Not sure how long it lasted. Contrast this era with the utter cheese fest, carnival barker style broadcast team and production quality that began in the 00's and continues today that's so cringe it's embarrassing. '95 was the end of the golden era of Indy Car/CART racing , but '96 had it''s moments, and this broadcast team really made it come alive. A better time, in every way.... EDIT: the sound mix was off a lot, many times the engines drowned out the announcers lol...
Not only have you cropped a 4:3 into 16:9, but there's also only audio in the left channel. I get it's free but this is honestly so amateurish... complete joke indycar.
Nothing better than CART Champcars / IndyCars! Thank you!
Lovely sound these cars had back then.
This is my favorite Long Beach layout
Brings back so many memories. Absolute monster cars. Today's IndyCar is half the car
Ah! Those cars looked and sounded so good! Golden Era indeed.
96 to 2000 probably the best years for me !
These were the years I´ve learned to love Indy. Here in Brazil I was watching every race with my dad. For me these cars are the best.
Is this peak Long Beach? Great crowd, awesome cars, lots of chassis/engine/tire competition, constant unpredictability.
The sound of the engines were impressive.
Indy and Nascar was 🔥🔥🔥 in the mid to late 90s

Sucks to lose the race so near the end but that Pennzoil livery just looks so good.
Ohhh man,the sound of CART series....
The voice of CART/INDY, Paul Page. This was, IMO, the pinnacle of these machines.
Indycar today just doesn't compare to this. Real shame. This was better than F1! Great commentary team of Paul and Danny also. R.I.P Gil.
I was there with my brother at the hairpin turn...awesome sight and sound!!!
Was 6 at this race and would wander around the track from the grandstand at the start finish line. With no question that was the loudest part of the track.
I was about 23 years old.....what a great time for motor racing the 1990s!!
Thanks Indycar!
I always loved this version of long beach because of indy car racing by papyrus
Always loved this layout of Long Beach. Especially the middle sector, so much faster
Thanks Indycar for the upload.
Classic years for this series. Too bad Tony George managed to destroy it all.
JV!!!! My favorite Champ Car driver! So consistent. And an even better Team Owner!
Thanks for the upload. Great quality.

Just d/l it and watch it with MPC or VLC in the correct ratio.
@@Vorgaloth yeah there’s always a workaround, I just don’t get why they stretched it in the first place.

Reynard, vs Lola vs Penske vs Eagle. Honda vs Mercedes vs Ford vs Toyota. Goodyear vs Firestone. 1990's CART was awesome
38:57 the reason we’re all here for….
I never knew Eddie Lawson dabbled in CART.
After the Toronto race, he was replaced by Davy Jones who finished second in the Indy 500 earlier that year for the remainder of the season.
Obrigado pelo post!
Who else thought it was the Titanic in the background

lol at first but Titanic had 4 funnels
@@sydfloyd891 ye, thats the moment I realised
Shame that it is cropped for 16x9 and not in its native 4:3 aspect ration 🙃
Good video, unfortunate that the aspect ratio is wrong.
I was there!

why is everything better back in the- days
RIP Greg Moore
And r.i.p Jeff krosnoff
Pupo Moreno??🤨🤨 Just discovered it’s Roberto’s middle name.
Also Paul Tracy a dawg
i literally just watched the 1983 long beach gp... f1 should have stayed there and detroit for a few more years
Is anyone else having trouble hearing the race analysis over the cars?

that FAKIN GRID LINEUP .... "get out of here" :-D
And they say modern F1 cars are wide...
They were, but it's a bit deceptive in this video, as they stretched a 4:3 image to 16:9.
a good run, but the sound.......
Real men drove these cars.
Unbelievable, these cars r fast, cool looking, and the engines sounds crazy. Indy car 2022 you suck?
