I went to the 2017 Indy 500 with Alonso competing. It was an amazing experience and race, with Dixon making the longest airborne flight in history and getting out of his car only with a slight limp! It's great on TV, but you have to be there to truly experience the Greatest Spectacle in racing! A must on your bucket list.
1992 was my second 500 in person. It was also the coldest 500 ever which was the reason there were so many cautions, the tires couldn’t get warmed up. I know there was a wind chill of 35 and I definitely felt it but it was worth it.
Fyi...check put the 2013 Freedom 100 finish. A 4-wide photo finish as 1st through 4th within 0.0044 sec. This was IndyCar's junior series then called Indy Lights (now called IndyNXT).
One of the reasons it took until 1982 for a real close finish is that until 1979, the field didn't pack up behind the pace car when the race ran under caution. The cars would slow down and maintain their positions until the green came back out. So if you were half a lap behind when the caution came out, you'd probably still be half a lap behind when the race went green again. The only way to close on a leader who was running away with the race would be to either use pit strategy or hope they had mechanical problems somewhere along the way.
Had Scott not been penalized for his premature restart his fight with Villeneuve would have been a hell of a close one between two drivers fighting to be the first Canadian to win the race, something only done once after and even then not officially.
You couldve added the photofinish or like a slowmo of the finish line so that we coukd have notion in meters or feet how close were they? Bc at240mph i want to see how many mm were there?
@DylanJamesGP do you have the speed data and the size of that year's car? You could add a note saying like that meant in that race they were X cm distanced apart. As a suggestion ofc. I don't make RUclips videos so idk how accessible are this info. But just ideas for future stuff.

It was my 2nd 500 as well. It was quite simply the most exciting sporting event I have ever attended.
I Appreciate the great job you're doing on indycars. Thank you
I appreciate that! Definitely more to come!
Love the new Indycar content! Have you thought about doing a dive into the 2011 Indianapolis 500?
I can do!

Yeah I remember seeing that! Was planning on looking into it in a video at some point!

Did not know thank you for the info

Yooo! Thank you for using my clip in your video! I appreciate it!
No worries man, it's awesome footage!
@@DylanJamesGPthanks! feel free to use them in your videos!
Alright, rocking my 3rd comfiest blanket and hopeful to enjoy another banger.
Hope you were satisfied with your blanket experience
@@DylanJamesGP definitely should've gone for the 6th or 7th comfiest, this banger had me on the edge of my seat.
It's crazy that I was there for 3/6 of these! The 2014 finish was unbelievable to experience!
2015 was painful as a power fan
Little bit of echo late in the video. Be sure to take a break so you don't get burned out!
Yeah I've only just noticed that! Must have been an issue with the export in davinci :/
the 1982 and 1992 are the best ive scene
Let’s goooooo, big timer now with sponsors and all. Keep up the quality uploads.
Thanks man!
The Andretti Curse is real. 👀

I couldn't find any :/

I think there is a problem with notifications I never get them
For some reason RUclipss broken for me right now lol it's not recommending my videos to anyone :/
Heh…Don Whittington and “stealing”. It wouldn’t be the first crime he ever committed. 😆
I was at 3 of these !
That's awesome!!
Either spend some money on better background music, or (better yet) leave it out entirely.
Dude you gotta reupload when you name your title in the intro wrong. 6 Hours and 694 views can be sacrificed for a fuckup that big
It's not that deep tho is it 😂
