I got to see this one in person. My favorites were Grosjean, Veekay, and Illot, while my dads favorites were Mclaughlin and Jimmie Johnson. You can guess how we felt by the end.
@@FP1Will I really think you should go. Watching on TV is one thing, but to experience all those cars traveling at those speeds is entirely different. When the green flag flies and they come screaming out of turn 4 it's almost breathtaking. And I mean that literally if you're close enough to the track. The cars being so close together moves *a lot* of air.
Ilott looked a little shaky all month but I give him credit for giving Indianapolis a shot despite having very little oval experience. From what I've seen this season I think we'll be seeing at the front of the field more often as the season goes on. He's a good driver; he just needs to cut out the mistakes.
I would love to see more Indycar content I really like it. Every F1 race week I look forward to your video and to have sometimes an extra Indycar video would be great.
In spite of his crash, Johnsons was doing not too bad for an Indy 500 debut, and was pretty monstrous earlier on in Texas. Nowhere on the road courses, but actually pretty damn good on ovals.
Fun fact: IndyCar is somewhat responsible for the 2022 Red Bull being so fast. Adrian Newey's first championship-winning racecar design was the March 85C, which won the Indy 500 with Danny Sullivan and the CART IndyCar championship with Bobby Rahal in 1985. He also designed the M.rch 86C that Bobby Rahal won both with the following year(though he left MArch to work directly for Rahal late in development). How does this connect to today's Red Bull? Well, IndyCar enver did away with ground effects. While they're limited, they have always been legal since Roger Penske and Jim Hall debuted them in 1979 with the Penske PC7(following the Lotus 78 philosophy of slapping ground effect sidepods on the previous year's chassis) and the Chaparral 2K(following the Lotus 79 philosophy of building a dedicated car for ground effects) respectively. In short, Adrian Newey is the only active F1 car designer that has prior experience in designing championship-winning ground-effect single seaters. This is experience is also why we pushed so hard for so many years to bring ground effects back to F1 - he knew it could achieve the goals of getting the cars to run closer without hindering their awesome performance. It is not the least bit surprising that Newey would produce one of the best cars on the grid. IndyCar has stuck to ground effects due to how much they can gain, particularly on ovals, with minimal drag. Since the 90s, IndyCar has been restricted to what I call a "half tunnel" design where the center section of the floor is flat and level with the outer section of the floor, but containing sculpted tunnels leading into and out of the flat section, creating a ground effect wing but without a full dedicated tunnel like current F1 cars. Here's a photo of 1990s Reynard underfloor to show what I mean: i.imgur.com/YQuJ9Pp.jpeg
Love your delving into IndyCar, it should become a regular occurrence. I think not only would it increase your channel’s viewership, it would help dispel the incorrect belief I suspect most F1 fans hold that it’s only ovals.
You should do a Coca Cola 600 comedy review as well. Is Americans get to watch the greatest day in Motorsports from 8:55am to midnight. All 3 races were cracking
Massively impressed by this! Thought it would be someone taking the p1ss but genuinely someone taking the series seriously and actually not taking anything away from the “he was rubbish in F1 so Indycar is rubbish” Ericsson! Actually gained a follower here!
Great video- I was on the outside of T1 as always, and it was exhilarating to watch O’Ward try to go around Ericsson as they dove into the apex for the race win.
Anybody who loves open wheel racing would love Indy. Racing on ovals, yes, but also on street courses and racing circuits much like F1. I like it because it's more primitive in the pits, they need to refuel which dramatically impacts pit strategy (imagine safety car laps causing nail biting anxiety about drifting to a stop in closing laps due to fuel miscalcs...) - And the more spec nature of the cars helps it be really about driver skills and circumstances. It is ridiculously exciting, and also really funny. PLEASE keep making more of this !
Only 30% of this season's races are on ovals. I think a season of nothing but ovals would be boring but thrown in every once in awhile they're a nice change of pace. In the US oval racing is a very popular discipline amongst both fan and drivers. It doesn't make sense for a US based series to not feature an ovals at all.
Had the absolute pleasure of being there this weekend. Ended up with second row seats directly across from Ericsson's pit crew. I got sunburned all to fuck but it was so worth it 🔥
Who would've thought that from the 2018 Sauber lineup it would be Ericsson who would get a triple crown victory first They both could've won at the same day but Ferrari said nope.
As someone who just got to ride in the 2 seat indycar around IMS I have way more respect for this race, it seriously shocked me how fast and how much force your body experiences to the point of being challenging to even breathe in the corners, and the 2 seaters are still 30+ mph slower than the regular cars. Driving that track at 230 mph with 30 other cars, rapidly changing wind and temp conditions, and 30 other cars has to be an absolute nightmare.
@@FP1Will I think it was 250 for 2 laps with the Groupon discount, it will shock you. My driver was gabby chavez. My pops got it for me, him, and my grandpa who raced In the 80’s and 90’s. It was an amazing experience, IMS is a beautiful beast in road and oval variants. I grew up seeing Schumacher being absolutely dominant at that track during the height of the V10 era, if you’ve never been to IMS I highly recommend
Damn Will, that was funny as "Cow Piss!" I loved the barbs that you threw at just about everyone (especially Jimmy J.) all in all an extremely entertaining offering from Formula 1 Ville. I must admit that I was absolutely CRUSHED when "Dixie" came into pit lane a tad (one mile per hour) too hot and literally threw the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" straight into the crapper. Good lord. Anyways, I'll be looking for your other offerings as I'm sure they will be just as entertaining. Cheers!
Think you’d help grow Indycar a ton if you did reviews on their series too. Obv that’d be a ton of work in tandem with F1 reviews but I would absolutely watch that
I want you to know right now how much I hate you. /s My brother and I drove from Denver to Indy for the race. I had to wait until I got home on Monday to watch Monaco.
More Indycar reviews pls. So glad you didn't do the 600, but a Nascar road race would make a great comedy review. I hear Kimi will be at Watkins Glen 😉
Came back to this and you are going to rike rile up all the NASCAR fans with Grat American Race for the Indy 500. Well played, Will. It's also a nod to Rusty Wallace in the booth which was about as well recieved as Mazepin's whole F1. Also, Carl Fisher, who helped get the Indianapolis Motor Speeway off the ground, did a lot more than just that, he's well woth a look into for everything he got done in life.
Man ! This was awesome.... Do more of this ..... loving the idea of putting more stuff other than f1.....if it's going to b a weekly thing or not it doesn't matter I will always support you my friend 👍
I didn’t think you could make going round in circles funny and dramatic at the same time, but somehow, you have done all of the things I want in a TH-cam video, cheers will
"the great American race" is the Daytona 500. the Indy 500 is "the greatest spectacle in racing" but I'm here for it all. let's gooo !!! more indycar content
We could have possibly had a Mexican sweep on The Greatest Day in Racing (Monaco GP, Indy 500, Coke 600) with Perez winning Monaco, O'Ward coming in second in Indy, and Daniel Suarez having a damn good car that got taken out late in the running in the 600
Can’t wait for this years indy 500 review I stayed up till 2 am to watch my first indy 500 or any IndyCar race since I found out our tv supplier sends out the indycar series 😂
Just a little note on 6:20, not technically a penalty. As the pits were closed, Palou had to simply drive through the pitlane and not make a stop. Under normal circumstances, he would emerge having lost a few positions and then pit once the pits eventually opened. However, he had to later come into the pits before they opened to take an emergency splash of fuel before he could do a full service later, losing him as many positions as he did. And yes at 9:17, that is a silly tradition LOL. Indy has several😂
Hey, thumbs up on a great review. I look forward to your videos when you upload them. More Indycar, this years Le Mans 24 content when it happens and give Nascar and Imsa content if you got time and patience. Thanks again
Would definitely love to see more IndyCar content, but I'm well aware that it can be as inconvenient to catch for those of your across the pond as most F1 races are for those of us here in the States, so don't kill yourself trying. :D Normally I go all "how dare you say oval racing is easy!" in response to such comments, but the entire point of the comedy review is to take the piss, so of course I'm not going to do that in this case. Instead, I shall piggyback off ANOTHER joke to make an informative comment about an aspect of the 500 that genuinely confuses a lot of people who already do understand ovals aren't as easy as they sometimes look: Why DOES the Indy 500 have so much god damn practice? It's because Indy is such a unique track with such a unique form of qualifying that the race and quali setups are INSANELY different. 90% of the difference between qualifying and race trim in a Formula 1 car is the engine mapping. On road courses, IndyCar doesn't even bother with differentiating between the quali and race setup outside of what the driver does with his anti-rollbar and weight jackers. At Indy, they trim the aerodynamics back to INSANE degrees to get as much outright speed as possible in open air - NEGATIVE rear wing angles are common for qualifying at the Indy 500. However, when in the actual race, they need more wing to avoid losing grip in dirty air, so they need practice time for race trim as well. Then because it's the biggest race of the year, they basically look at the time needed to reasonably test these two setups thoroughly and then go, "fuck it, let's double it!" That is in MODERN times, though. Historically the amount of practice time was because the insane amount of engine tuning needed to optimize the cars for the needs of the track - turn 'em up for quali, then figure out how much to back it down to finish the race while still being fast enough to have a hope in hell of winning. And since back then the Indy 500 was about the common man doing uncommon thigns, they wanted to give these men PLENTY of time to work that all out.
I see you still can't express yourself without writing a book..and still can't comment on something without coming across as a condescending know-it-all.
I understand why people are quick to dismiss the whole oval racing game and the talent that it takes to master such a thing. Only once you've had the chance to experience it in person will you come to see how fcking insanely fast and terrifying it is. They drive over 200mph and are a mistake away from slamming a wall and easily dying.
More IndyCar stuff with the wonderful F1 stuff please. But in IndyCar who would be your $%^#*& watch? Wait a minute, you're doing IndyCar? This means Mazpin confirmed going to IndyCar! :-)
I have to say IndyCar is much more fun to watch than F1, it is much harder to predict and I like "~200 seconds of push to pass boost" better than DRS zones :) With that said I have been following Marcus Ericsson since his F1 time in Caterham and finally he gets to prove his talent with three spectacular wins so far and hopefully many more to come in IndyCar 🇸🇪🤩
"Scared to get a little bit wet" Yea... On slick tires going 240mph with a concrete wall feet from you? Yea... I'd be scared too.... foh And yea, it's a really difficult track, but go on again and "hurr durr left turn" your way through the video.
Why does everyone always forgez Josef Newgarden when listing drivers to watch? He won 2 races this year already, was im the title eun every year since 2017 and is a 2 time champion
He kind of flew under the radar at Indy. He wasn't bad but he didn't look like a potential race winner either. I'd like to see him win the 500 someday.
@@BiggieTrismegistus yeah he was under the radar at indy but so was McLaughlin and he was mentioned. Its nothing against Will because i love his videos and this was a masterpiece again, but Josef is my favourite driver in indycar and everyone always forgets him, i mean he is really good and i hope he will win at indy someday and i think he will be champion this year again. Also would like to see him in F1 with an americen team i think he can do that
@@jorisfries7595 I figured McLaughlin got mentioned because Aussies and Kiwis might recognize the name, but you're right that Newgarden hasn't been talked about much over the course of the season thus far. As long as he's with Penske he'll be a championship contender every year.
You gotta do one of these for a NASCAR race. They’re racing at Sonoma this coming Sunday and I would love to hear you rip the Cup guys on a road course.
sorry for all the comments so I just finished a video. awesome thank you very much just when it was cool great I dig them. more IndyCar coverage for sure whatever can be done to show the world we got an awesome fucking Motorsport over here! thanks again
all the practice isn't necessarily for the driver to get better at driving on the oval. it's to try to trim out the car dial it in get it best for the race.
Thumbs up. I live in ooosa and really liked you covered Indy. More would be fun. I’d also consider donating USDs if you’d cover a NASCAR race sometime as well. Monaco sucked (and has for years since the cars got too big). Indy was more fun. And the Cocaine 600 was might have been even better. More passes in one lap than the whole race in the little country.
I know this is a comedy bit, but I keep seeing this error when talking about Alex Palou. Palou was not penalized for entering the pits when it was closed. You are allowed to pass through without stopping for service and you will not be penalized, which is exactlywhat the #10 car did. However, after circulating behind the safety car, the team decided he was at risk of running out of fuel, so they pitted anyways, even though pit lane was not open yet. This is what he was penalized for.
Three points: 1) The Great American Race is the Daytona 500, not the Indianapolis 500. 2) It would be cool to get a comedy review of a NASCAR race or two, whether it's a superspeedway race or a road course. 3) Jimmie, not Jimmy. Jimmy's the retired football coach.
Im an F1 guy not an indy car guy so I have a question, do you HAVE to refuel every pitstop? Surely if you fueled the tank for the 250 laps, plus fuel saving, it would save soooo much time in the pits? I apologise if this is one of the fundamental rules
Yes, they have to refuel every pit stop but not because there's a rule requiring it. The cars get 4 miles per gallon on ovals so a fuel tank being enough to drive the 500 without ever refueling would have to hold at least 125 gallons.

On road courses, IndyCar doesn't even bother with differentiating between the quali and race setup outside of what the driver does with his anti-rollbar and weight jackers. At Indy, they trim the aerodynamics back to INSANE degrees to get as much outright speed as possible in open air - NEGATIVE rear wing angles are common for qualifying at the Indy 500.
However, when in the actual race, they need more wing to avoid losing grip in dirty air, so they need practice time for race trim as well. Then because it's the biggest race of the year, they basically look at the time needed to reasonably test these two setups thoroughly and then go, "fuck it, let's double it!"
That is in MODERN times, though. Historically the amount of practice time was because the insane amount of engine tuning needed to optimize the cars for the needs of the track - turn 'em up for quali, then figure out how much to back it down to finish the race while still being fast enough to have a hope in hell of winning. And since back then the Indy 500 was about the common man doing uncommon thigns, they wanted to give these men PLENTY of time to work that all out.
I see you still can't express yourself without writing a book..and still can't comment on something without coming across as a condescending know-it-all.
Superb video - not something I have watched before but it's whetted by appetite !!! Oh, and very funny too
Great to hear!!
YESSSSSS. Thanks for doing this Will. Cheers.. sat in turn 2 and man.. a car hitting the wall at 230 (355kph) 🧱 sounds like a cannon going off. 😳
Man watching your take on Indy would def convince me (an American) to actually watch Indy. Good shit mate
I understand why people are quick to dismiss the whole oval racing game and the talent that it takes to master such a thing. Only once you've had the chance to experience it in person will you come to see how fcking insanely fast and terrifying it is. They drive over 200mph and are a mistake away from slamming a wall and easily dying.
More IndyCar stuff with the wonderful F1 stuff please. But in IndyCar who would be your $%^#*& watch? Wait a minute, you're doing IndyCar? This means Mazpin confirmed going to IndyCar! :-)
I have to say IndyCar is much more fun to watch than F1, it is much harder to predict and I like "~200 seconds of push to pass boost" better than DRS zones :)
With that said I have been following Marcus Ericsson since his F1 time in Caterham and finally he gets to prove his talent with three spectacular wins so far and hopefully many more to come in IndyCar 🇸🇪🤩
Ericsson manages what Hamilton didn't. Hold off a charge for a single lap :-D
🔥🔥🔥
Was my first Indycar race, I gotta say me likey.
another great video from you nice one! One of your best yet
Cheers!!
This is the best recap I've ever seen!!!
"How hard can it be?" Very. Apparently.
One point, they do so much testing because how these cars react to pack racing at 230mph / 370kph can change drastically with the smallest adjustments
I remember Jimmy Johnson when I was little being in front in like every nascar race to the point where I just stopped watching it
"Scared to get a little bit wet" Yea... On slick tires going 240mph with a concrete wall feet from you? Yea... I'd be scared too.... foh
And yea, it's a really difficult track, but go on again and "hurr durr left turn" your way through the video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 OOOOH! Im dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your reviews. keep up the great work.
Thank you man!
An unexpected but welcome surprise
"Lap Funny Number" :) Me likey teeheehee
This was awesome dude!
Ericsson went from Giovanni Lavaggi's Pay Driver tier to Michael Schumacher Pay Driver Tier
Why does everyone always forgez Josef Newgarden when listing drivers to watch? He won 2 races this year already, was im the title eun every year since 2017 and is a 2 time champion
He kind of flew under the radar at Indy. He wasn't bad but he didn't look like a potential race winner either. I'd like to see him win the 500 someday.
@@BiggieTrismegistus yeah he was under the radar at indy but so was McLaughlin and he was mentioned. Its nothing against Will because i love his videos and this was a masterpiece again, but Josef is my favourite driver in indycar and everyone always forgets him, i mean he is really good and i hope he will win at indy someday and i think he will be champion this year again. Also would like to see him in F1 with an americen team i think he can do that
@@jorisfries7595 I figured McLaughlin got mentioned because Aussies and Kiwis might recognize the name, but you're right that Newgarden hasn't been talked about much over the course of the season thus far. As long as he's with Penske he'll be a championship contender every year.
“The Great American Race” is the Daytona 500 for NASCAR
As an Indy native. This is really accurate
You gotta do one of these for a NASCAR race. They’re racing at Sonoma this coming Sunday and I would love to hear you rip the Cup guys on a road course.
sorry for all the comments so I just finished a video. awesome thank you very much just when it was cool great I dig them. more IndyCar coverage for sure whatever can be done to show the world we got an awesome fucking Motorsport over here! thanks again
all the practice isn't necessarily for the driver to get better at driving on the oval. it's to try to trim out the car dial it in get it best for the race.
Thank you.
My pick was Castroneves again and he had a good race even if he didn't win.
I really didn't this the Meyer Shank cars would be as strong this year, but sure enough they slowly climbed their way forward for a solid result.
"And here comes Pat-OH- Ward"
Thumbs up. I live in ooosa and really liked you covered Indy. More would be fun. I’d also consider donating USDs if you’d cover a NASCAR race sometime as well. Monaco sucked (and has for years since the cars got too big). Indy was more fun. And the Cocaine 600 was might have been even better. More passes in one lap than the whole race in the little country.
I know this is a comedy bit, but I keep seeing this error when talking about Alex Palou.
Palou was not penalized for entering the pits when it was closed. You are allowed to pass through without stopping for service and you will not be penalized, which is exactlywhat the #10 car did.
However, after circulating behind the safety car, the team decided he was at risk of running out of fuel, so they pitted anyways, even though pit lane was not open yet. This is what he was penalized for.
You need to do more Indy Car
Not bothered to watch Indy, but definitely watching your Indy content
legend!
Dont really give a 💩 about indycar, but if there is an fp1 video. I will Watch it!
'Scared of getting wet'.. Should've watched the Indy GP lmao.
I like it! Might be a lot more wrk but a great way to reach a new audience!
To clarify about the red flag near the finish, it is stated under the official rulebook that the Indy 500 'must end under green flag conditions'
Its worth noting that Dixons pole speed was a 4 lap average, not a one off lap.
How hard can it be? Ask Grosjean.
And not even the outright 4-lap record, just the POLE record.
Sick video bro
The Indy 500 is the “Greatest spectacle in racing” The “Great American race” is the Daytona 500
Great race I live in Indy and am there every year.
Very very jealous
I’ve never seen that Indy crash before, holy shit that’s absolutely brutal
Average everyday in Indy car
Watching it on tv, but my dad showed around lap 44 and by the time he left it was lap 140
Three points:
1) The Great American Race is the Daytona 500, not the Indianapolis 500.
2) It would be cool to get a comedy review of a NASCAR race or two, whether it's a superspeedway race or a road course.
3) Jimmie, not Jimmy. Jimmy's the retired football coach.
Im an F1 guy not an indy car guy so I have a question, do you HAVE to refuel every pitstop? Surely if you fueled the tank for the 250 laps, plus fuel saving, it would save soooo much time in the pits? I apologise if this is one of the fundamental rules
Yes, they have to refuel every pit stop but not because there's a rule requiring it. The cars get 4 miles per gallon on ovals so a fuel tank being enough to drive the 500 without ever refueling would have to hold at least 125 gallons.
Em média são de 6 a 8 reabastecimentos
@@BiggieTrismegistus um carro a diesel conseguiu fazer a corrida inteira nos anos 50 sem reabastecimento.
@@rafaelcoutomarinho6314 It was 1931. The Cummins diesel was also used in 1951 and 1952 but didn't finish either race due to mechanical issues.
@@BiggieTrismegistus obrigado pela correção.
Aqui um vídeo interessante sobre isso

The Daytona 500 is the Great American Race the Indy 500 is the greatest spectacle in racing
Good work Will. With Grosjean's propensity for crashing I wish he'd avoid the Indy 500. At 225+ miles per hour and walls the stakes are too high.
NEED more indycar content
Keep an eye out then
Mate. This was epic. #daytona #nhra
Options (although how to get Hasswatch in…?
Everyone I wanted to win either crashed or sped on pit road ugh lol happy for Ericsson though
This. Was. Fire.
