There seems to be a lot more parity between cars in IndyCar which is why the casual or new fanbase probably enjoy the races more (closer finishes and more wheel to wheel action). More F1 races considered "boring" because of the lack of parity and the huge gaps between teams I believe. But I have to say, the "entertaining" F1 races are my absolute favourites! I love IndyCar though I can't stand Nascar racing!
N Johnson F1 should forget racing, Indy Car is faster and more exciting. The cars look pretty similar too. Anyone who doesn’t watch Indy Car or F1 would think they are the same sport.
Evan Nagy indy cars are actually faster than f1 cars but f1 cars reach their top speed way faster. and they have better downforce so an f1 car would smoke and indy car on a track like this. On an oval track indy cars would win because they have more time to reach their top speed and would eventually pass the f1 car and stay ahead
The Yung tr both cars are incredible, F1 is faster than Indy Car in a Circuit and Indy is faster that F1 in an oval like Indianapolis or Pocono. But you can't say that IndyCar is, in general, faster than F1. One is faster in the circuit that the other doesn't use or it's not thought to race there. In my opinion, the engineers build the car to win in indy 500 and they modify them to race in route circuits. Resuming they are pretty the same, but with different technologies.
I really hope Indycar becomes more popular in Europe and The Netherlands. I know so many people getting exited for boring F1, while almost no one even knows what Indycar is.
I'm a F1 fan since 2015, and now I'm going to start following the next indicar season, despite this F1 season is one of the best seasons in the modern era
Yeah agreed... I'm a casual race fan and trying to get into it more but Nascar is just too dang long.. i like how this and F1 you can watch the whole race and even the post race in an appropriate amount if time
Being at the race was a blast. Both before and after many of the drivers were out and about and you could shake hands or give a high five. Crews after the race were available to talk and I chatted with one of Hinchcliffe's mechanics about brake rotor wear patterns. It was great atmosphere and just a lot of fun to be there. And yes, the cars look really great again.
What a great sight that is at Road America, gorgous venue, great crowd, camping, tailgating and ohh yeah that performance by Rossi was kind of impressive as well.
Geric47, Road America is an AWESOME track in a beautiful state of Wisconsin. Every turn is a terrific viewing place for the race car action. you NEEEED to go!
I'm an F1 fan but have admit I think this track is probably the best one in the world. When I used to to play Forza I would just run lap after lap here solo just trying to improve my time.
That would mean massive modifications to the track which will be costly and that will destroy the magic and unique vibe of the circuit. 40 years ago, yeah this would've been a potentially good replacement to Watkins Glen.
This was exciting! I like seeing an extended highlights video, it's like a movie, you know stuff happened between the crucial moments, but cut that out and still tell the story. Maybe F1 channels should do this. I'll definitely be watching more Indy.
I’m Gen Z and I’m getting super hooked on INDYCAR. Probably because I found out about the old Marlboro/Penske cars and Nigel Mansell’s T93/00 I used to be a die hard F1 fan, used to watch the old races but modern F1 is so boring because the cars are so long. Battles and overtakes are almost impossible.
@@gustavoechevarria9369 that's fine with me. Besides they have social media and millennial drivers on lock down. That Gen is aging now. We have something f1 doesn't the 500 no race even comes close. Keep spreading the word 1 person at a time.
I want to say that as a product of watching Indy car races, my fanatism is increasing. The worst part is they, here in Europe, we only have the races. There isn't a channel that let us watch the qualification.
All people complaining about F1 need to realise that it isn't a spec series and should never become one. It's not only a drivers' series, but also constructors'. Also, cars are massively faster than IndyCar, therefore drivers need to be better overall. Not saying that IndyCar is bad, but they are completely different series
@@gagemcpherson4454 yeah I noticed. But I figured if enough people ask, maybe they will, unless there is some sort of legal issue with NBC and IndyCar with thier agreement with broadcasting. Who knows.
@@LordJLawI hope NBC opens up next year by not only helping the IndyCar series broker international TV deals (not just Viasat or Sky Sports F1 which offer amazing coverage) but also allowing them to post all the races on TH-cam as they did before this year. NBC and IndyCar need to realize that for the sport to grow, they'll need to make race weekend coverage more accessible and they need a whole lot of promotion to do it. That's why accessible TV and live streaming deals do the best promotion.
Napa better wise up and stick with Alex for next season. I do not want Penske getting their greedy paws on him. They already have Newgarden, Power and Pagenaud. Seems all too cliche. Dominant driver goes to Penske, no no no.
Edward Peraza if he wins the championship it should be easy for Napa to sign on full time. I think Michael would pay him out of his own pocket to keep him. Indycar needs to implement a cap no more then three cars per team.
@@gstate4ever Add to the fact that Honda will also do everything to keep their star boy Rossi. It's a lesson learned after Simon Pagenaud, who was one of Honda's star drivers about 5 years ago when he was still driving for SPM, was snatched up by Penske.
Indycar are at the same level with F2 in terms of speed. Did you see any F2 race this year? Is the same action right there, almost better or on par with Indycar.
NY Fire Dept. Chief: Drivers, start your engines! Drivers: We would love to...but we are locked in the cockpit and need about 5 dudes back at the engine to get that done. Why not get rid of this nonsense? Its ridiculous. At least make it accurate!
There are three in the booth and 3-4 on pit lane. Road America is the "transition race" for NBC this year as Marty moves to NASCAR. The pit voices are calling the action as they are sitting on the pit box with notes. The producers make pit lane integral to coverage and not an afterthought (see FOM TV-Sky).
Road America is the best road course in the United States, and one of the best in the world.
eh i prefer road atlanta, and the glen but they are all great
Yessir. Just went there today to watch superbikes.
Before the argument starts: F1 AND INDYCAR ARE BOTH GREAT!
There seems to be a lot more parity between cars in IndyCar which is why the casual or new fanbase probably enjoy the races more (closer finishes and more wheel to wheel action).

Thank you guys for posting these race recaps so quickly... the Race cars look awesome this year finally.
X CrankyOldMan this is the first Indy race I’ve been too, and it was really awesome seeing them, I’d advice going to road America sometime it’s nice
@@killerclown001_6 best track in north america
How funny how this comes up in my recommended list after the French GP 😂
I'm sure Indy is paying to get that placement and steal over F1 fans tired of seeing Hamilton, Bottas, and Mercedes dominate every single race.
@@amateurhobbyist that would make sense
Special Dayzz how many times can you watch Hamilton has the pole,Hamilton leads, Hamilton wins. F1 should be renamed Groundhog Day.
@@zorbadog4452, have you watched the 2020 season for IndyCar?
Glad to see some good racing(!) after a boring French GP
You still watch the whole race?
@@brandonclevert3173 I struggled to stay awake during the whole race lol
same
The leader was further ahead than Hamilton:/
This is so much much funnier than F1
Indycar = better racing, but F1 = better intro music. xD

F1 = best racing
Indycar = good racing
K1 You are incorrect about one thing. IndyCars are MUCH slower than F1 cars
Evan Nagy indy cars are actually faster than f1 cars but f1 cars reach their top speed way faster. and they have better downforce so an f1 car would smoke and indy car on a track like this.

Best start to an Indycar race ever.
That was fun to watch. Great commentary, as usual, by the guys. Keep it up, IndyCar.
I really hope Indycar becomes more popular in Europe and The Netherlands. I know so many people getting exited for boring F1, while almost no one even knows what Indycar is.
Klopt, laat die sukkels maar lekker geilen op Max Verstappen terwijl wij hier van genieten 😉
I'm a F1 fan since 2015, and now I'm going to start following the next indicar season, despite this F1 season is one of the best seasons in the modern era
This is waaay better than NASACR, can us americans see more of this on TV and less of that?
Yeah agreed... I'm a casual race fan and trying to get into it more but Nascar is just too dang long.. i like how this and F1 you can watch the whole race and even the post race in an appropriate amount if time
bruh indycar IS in america. everything is broadcasted in the US. but this is entertaining
Simplistic aero + great circuits. _Sigh_ F1 😧
This was more exciting than the F1 race today...
Being at the race was a blast. Both before and after many of the drivers were out and about and you could shake hands or give a high five. Crews after the race were available to talk and I chatted with one of Hinchcliffe's mechanics about brake rotor wear patterns. It was great atmosphere and just a lot of fun to be there.

Glad to see that IndyCar is letting the drivers race. Unlike F1...
What a great sight that is at Road America, gorgous venue, great crowd, camping, tailgating and ohh yeah that performance by Rossi was kind of impressive as well.
I gotta put going here on my bucket list one day.
Gseric47 I went this year, and the sound is actually unreal and when they pass you it’s like seeing 24 missles fly by. Definitely worth going.
Just left, you gotta man, Road America is something special
Geric47, Road America is an AWESOME track in a beautiful state of Wisconsin. Every turn is a terrific viewing place for the race car action. you NEEEED to go!
Rossi was way ahead...similar to Hamilton at the FrenchGP. Behind Rossi there was some good car to car stuff going on. F1 needs more of that also.
Indycar Is America's Answer To Formula One
Race domination of Rossi, but a very good race and Road America is one of best circuits of Indycar. F1 must learn with Indycar how make a good race.
This is racing, not snoozefest f1
I love people not overtaking
What a race! Not much of a fan of dixon but man he ran hard after that spin
I'm an F1 fan but have admit I think this track is probably the best one in the world. When I used to to play Forza I would just run lap after lap here solo just trying to improve my time.
I love indy car! Sadly we dont have in on TV
I love this circuit.. Fast track for sure. I really miss F1 racing .. 30 years ago races were on TV all the time
2:03 best part of the race commentary. The Wild Thing. I FUCKING LOVE IT.
Ok Sato we now know your hidden account lol jk
He still doesnt know how to brake... these Japanese videogame drivers
Narrow track but loads of great racing if this is F1 it will be a buttload of marathon / parade until finish, Thanks for posting this keep'em coming.
This will really help Rossi in the points
Excelente resumen, gracias por compartir
I haven’t missed an f1 race since 2013, but I’m almost done, after this I’m going to start watching Indy (the circuits not ovals though)
I stopped watching F1. There is so much better stuff out there.
SC you should also watch the ovals. they can be really entertaining.
Great camera angles!
Way better than F1 2020.
ALEX GREAT RACE ,
This looks better then boring formula 1
Much better
Actually, every other Motorsport right now is and currently better than F1
Under 12 go karts is better than f1 at the moment
@@Steve-qr2lm Japanese Super Formula too
The school bycicle race looks better than F1.
Better than F1, great track
Outstanding race and a great finish. Shalom
These cars might be ugly, but man these guys can put on a show!!!
Deuce 96 they aren’t ugly irl trust me
Ugly? They're pretty.
A lot of people consider these the most beautiful open wheel cars on earth.
@@penskepc2374 the side profile especially, is incredibly good. They're short and have a classic outline.
they look more solid than a fragile f1 car.
Awesome track!! & race!! NBC needs to air these races on regular cable TV. 💖😊
this race was on nbc.
this is so much better then F1 nowdays...did anybody noticed when alonso left F1 i became boring then before or is it me bcz i am alonso fan ?!
Indy has always been good.. its just so many people in F1 ridicule Indy for going around circles and forgot what actual racing is.
Now this is racing unlike the F1 snoozefest
Indycar delivers every single week. Meanwhile F1 is the worst it has ever been. Don't we all love contrasts...
great racing
Goes to show how good the last half of the year was in F1, it's funny to see all these comments looking back.
This circuit was to be in Formula 1, not the one in Texas
Y not both m8!
I love COTA though
That would mean massive modifications to the track which will be costly and that will destroy the magic and unique vibe of the circuit.
40 years ago, yeah this would've been a potentially good replacement to Watkins Glen.
No please don't. It would be turned into a car park. Leave it alone!
Please don't. Tilke will delete all the grass & botch it up like Hockenheim 😫
Yes Rossi class drive.
This was exciting! I like seeing an extended highlights video, it's like a movie, you know stuff happened between the crucial moments, but cut that out and still tell the story. Maybe F1 channels should do this. I'll definitely be watching more Indy.
What a beautiful and fast race track !
Alexander Rossi number 1 for 2020 and 22 for 2021. Team Penske Here We Come! Best driver in the field!
Commentators: woah! Wow! Omg! Bla bla bla, names, wow woah
When are they going to put Marco out to pasture for lack of performance
Sadly they won't as long as his last name is Andretti
He should have been gone 4 or 5 years ago. At this rate he won't go anywhere.
He's unfortunately not going anywhere anytime soon as he essentially owns the car he's driving in rn
Kanaan as well!
The silver spoon boy?? Sadly but it will never happen
Man that was incredible. Now it's time to get Gen Z into Indy racing seats.
I’m Gen Z and I’m getting super hooked on INDYCAR. Probably because I found out about the old Marlboro/Penske cars and Nigel Mansell’s T93/00

much better then F1
You guys don't have this on your playlists
indy should allow those old V10 F1 engines
They really shouldn't
I'm here because I'm enough of Formula Mercedes as well!
Ironically, the guy who won this race was apparently miles ahead of 2nd place.
I love indycar but if someone in F1 won by 30 seconds like this they would be going crazy. Yet everyone says how great this was.
The racing behind him was phenomenal but I see what you're saying.
rossi beat everyone on pure talent. that’s amazing. hamilton destroys the field because his car is better than everyone else’s. that’s the difference
Good Race
There are no pitstops?
Formula 1, please...please take some notes. This is what we want!
It's spec racing.
@@marinerchris Exactly. This is what F1 needs to become if it wants to lose its 'borefest' reputation.

Who's the random Australian guy commentating American motorsports?
I think it's Leigh Diffey.
I don't think he ever raced, just a career motorsport commentator
What is Push to Pass? Is it like DRS?
It's like the old KERS boost, but with 200 seconds for the whole race & maximum 20 seconds per push (not always 20, it's up to the drivers)
@@aditya.sagraha I got it, thank you:)
It’s a TURBO BOOST button
You have to be within 1.5 seconds of the car in front of you for it to boost too. I think?
Mt L no, you can use it anytime.
Do they spray the gas tank opening to clean excess fuel off to prevent fire or something?

Also CART was the fastest Closed Circuit series in the world
Everybody gangsta till you get overlapped by Alexander Rossi oof
Dont know why all the cry babies are saying the French GP was boring, it was the closest and best race for sometime.

It's spec racing.
Chris Mndz it’s cost cutting done right. and the fans approve
plus it’s not fully spec, it’s just spec chassis, there’s still some slight modifications that can be made
So we've had how many different race winners so far in 2019??!! 😊😊😊
I've been an F1 viewer for years. So that's how I lost count after 2. Indy is far more interesting to watch now.
Rossi, Dixon, Pagenaud, Newgarden, Herta, Sato
Let me guess... Mercedes 1-2. Oh wait, this isn't F1...
More F1 than f1
gib theme song
Equal machines like in F2.
I wonder what junebug thinks of herta using a very close iteration his #88 font and color on his indy car 😝🤔
Just wish they wouldnt have said in the caption that rossi won completley gave it away
I am now watching this instead of bore F1. Don't take on their crap penalty system.
In F1 comment sections people talk about how boring the race was. In IndyCar comment sections people talk about F1.
No those are f1 fans saying the same thing in 2 places
If this was F1 the stewards would've had a stroke
