Rick is simply the master. The best that ever ran at Indianapolis. Hearing him dissect driving this place is almost bible-like. I'm just simply in awe of this man, his talents, his knowledge. I can listen to Rick all day and night.

Same. Were we sit for the 500 Rick sits and spots above. It's just cool to turn around and go Rapid Rick is right there
Mears, "fast enough to win but slow enough to finish". Classic wisdom. I always thought that was an Andretti problem. They were always fast enough but didn't make it to the end.
Except in 1991 and then they weren't fast enough.
Boom 😁
Jimmie was probably the most excited he'd had ever been, Rick Mears is Jimmie's hero, you know.

These kind of videos are really great to watch. I love seeing two different racers discuss their respective sport and compare and contrast how they drive the track. It's fun to watch.
That was an awesome conversation.. I could listen to those guys all day!
This is the ultimate!😎🏎 conversation
Wow, I could watch those two masters of their crafts chat about racing all day, MEARS IS THE MAN!!!
Any driver who races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway should listen to Rick Meats describe how to get around the track. Rocket Rick rules!
How cool is this video! Wow, Rick taking that 'Vette round and round so nonchalantly...
What a privilege too. Bet Jimmy or Rick are able to drive the track anytime they arrange to do so.
You can also hear when the car goes over the bricks. I timed it off of that and had them at 93 mph.
This is an incredible conversation. I love the technical side of driving like this.
Thanks for doing that! Cheers!
Awesome.
I used to take a Marlboro crappy digital stop watch to the race as the official timer.
In my young mind anyway.
Rick Mears - greatest Indy driver- ever.
al unser sr has a better record than rick mears!
What about AJ?
Yeah but Rick was still the best!
Rocket Rick, Big Al, and SuperTex Foyt...the greatest drivers to ever race at the Brickyard (with all due respect to Old Vuky).
What about Emmo?
Amazing video! I enjoy listening to Jimmie talk about his racing experiences at various tracks. Thanks for posting!
Jimmie reminds me so much of Rick in the way that he approaches things. Cool, calm, unflappable. Usually a contender but feels no need to lead the whole race. Sometimes encounters problems and drops back early in the race. Works on the car throughout the event. Always seems to pop up at the end with a chance to go for the win, no matter how improbable it seemed earlier in the race. These guys are cut from the same cloth, and they are both fantastic at what they do. Great stuff.
Jimmy running good at Indy so far 😁
Two of the very best right there!
How AWESOME was this!
Two fantastic drivers discussing their craft. Really enjoyed the 'ride along' -- thank you, IMS.
Why can't we see Jimmie in the Indy 500? I think it would be great in every respect.
@@pnutbutrncrackers hes not good enough
a must see love it!!!!!
This was really cool. And of course, the 4-time winner of the older race gets dibs on driving over the 3-time winner of the younger, slower race. ;-)
Two legends
@alans26 Too funny I also paid attention to their lap times and figured out how fast they were going!!
If you do the math they are averaging about 95 MPH. I would say a big reason they didn't go faster was because of road noise.
I always liked the way Mears managed his car. He was content to run 3rd or 4th all day long, but after that last pit stop, here he came and he was nearly impossible to stop.
At the 5 minute area, I noted that Rick was now up to "his speed" of comfort in this Corvette.
As nearly all comments have stated, Rick is among one of the best all-time race drivers in the open wheel race cars of auto racing history.
These guys really know their sport! Both do well in communicating the art of auto racing.
Now...I've been a "dreamer" for a very long time of seeing a new Indy track: 4 mile or 5 mile oval. That at 4 miles is: 1 mile straight...3/8 mile turn banked at 14 degree...1/4 mile short straight. The width on the main straight: 75 feet. The turns: 82 feet. The 5 mile track: 1 and 1/4 mile straights...1/2 mile turns at 16 or 18 degree. 1/4 mile shorts. The widths at 80 to 85 feet across. I have a lot more "dreams" of the "new-improved" Speedway ovals and that's for later.
Oh...reason for the "new-improved" track?: For a very long time the speeds that Indy cars have been doing seem, to me, been too much for the 2.5 design. That new design may just be the future of "something" for the people who love speed at a Super Speedway.
You can pay for and build the engines.
What a shame that Jimmy Johnson will most likely, never compete in an Indy 500. He is a helluva driver and great ambassador for racing. I really believe though, that he could win 10 NASCAR championships and still be "just a great driver in NASCAR". No matter how hard the press tries to run down the Indy 500 it will still be the Greatest Spectacle in Motor Racing. Unless Jimmy Johnson runs the 500 he will forever flounder around in the racing world as a damned good stock car driver. His resume will never be complete.
That's what makes A.J Foyt and Mario Andretti two of the greatest drivers in American history.
Well…
This comment hasn't aged well
Jimmie and Rick. Legends.
Mears and Johnson to the Indy management: "We need your track to take a spin and shoot the shit for awhile." Management: "She's all yours".
Love Jimmy's props to Jaun
That was great.
That was awesome
Rick is mashing on it....
looks like he was flying,With 1 hand on the wheel, Whew ..Then no hands!
So there they were..... cruising at 95mph for a cool 17 minutes.
Both hands off the wheel at one point...effortless, could have been 3/4 asleep
@sheldonk1980
speed = distance/time ... the reason I said "about 95 MPH" is because I don't have their exact lap times. I went by when the Pagoda appeared in the video (about 3:41, then again at about 5:17, etc.) over Rick's shoulder.
I hope Jimmy Johnson appreciated this as much as he should have. Rick Mears It’s one of the best to ever go to the Indianapolis… You cannot buy this kind of education
I was just waiting for that awkward 5 minute silence lol didn't happen though.
The best American race car driver come from California.
Mears was born in Kansas.......
"And when my throttle foot was swollen and throbbing, I held my right foot down with my left foot so I could pass Andretti on the outside of turn 1 at 225 mph."
Corvette!
4 Indy 500 wins in 14 career starts.....Nobody knows IMS better than Mears. Not the 2.5 mile classic layout anyways.
Honda powered Corvette. No wonder it looks like they're going slowly.
The only thing missing is a roof cam
Jimmie should have taken Rick for a ride at Talladega in a Cup Car with a second seat. Rick would probably say Indy drivers would pass out due to the g's
I like how they are hauling it around IMS and and it’s nothing to them.
Love Rick. Video hard to hear.
Two of the greatest to ever race at Indianapolis
chad knaus is the only reason we know who jimmie johnson is
i wonder how fast they drove around , 120 mph maybe ?
He is probably doing a 130 going around there after a while
I just wanna know how fast that vette is going
Well, he's running about 93 second laptimes which should be just under 100mph lap average.
Would like to know how fast Rick is driving. Sure seems like he's out for a Sunday drive, but the fence whipping by says no.
Video Volume booster app.
He is doing about 90 mph
Jimmie looks like he would be more comfortable behind the wheel and not a passenger....but isn't that normal?
Jimmie is trying to keep cool but actually looks scared as sh1t 😂
🤔
I wish the passenger would just shut up and let Rick talk.
And heres turn 1 Jimmy. This is where will you will eat it in 2022.
I would say he is one of the best oval racers. But not even close to being the greatest Indy driver. Mr. Foyt and Mr Unser are head of him
