I was here with my Father, and Grand Father. I was only nine. Who would have ever guessed I'd be able to just jump on youtube and find this on a whim. Amazing. Brings back memories I didn't even realize I still had. :D Thanks for the upload!
I'm glad the track has gotten better with age. The only other division that could ever put on a show like this there is the NASCAR Modifieds. I would personally love to see ISMA bring the supermods there. A handful of guys did a tire test there back in the 90s and their lap times were fast enough to outrun these guys.
I am not a Mansell fanboy, trust me, but I always give him due credit for how he went on the ovals. Took to them better & quicker than any other European
13 Yankees, 3 Brazilians, 2 Canucks, and 1 each from Colombia, England, France, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, & Sweden. Drivers over 40: 5; Under 30: 5. Oldest: Mario (53); Youngest: Robby Gordon (24). 12 previous starts from 1 prior NHIS IndyCar race (1992). 147 wins and 10 IndyCar Championships represented by 11 drivers. Best short oval race in IndyCar history.
I'm a diehard NASCAR fan but agree this was back when Indy car was worth watching. Why can't they just get Indy car back to the days of when all the big names drove in one series?
The backmarkers were just moving chicanes...that can't be much fun for a professional race driver. Stressful trying to keep out of the way all day long, and not great on the ego. Adds a very entertaining element for viewers though that's for sure. CART in it's golden era...best racing series on the planet.
+No Say Hahaha.. oh.. you were serious? No, that has never happened. All the Indy drivers that has tried F1 has failed. The year we are watching, Michael Andretti tried for Mclaren and failed miserably. The difference in skill and difficulty is huge. Edit: Without having looked it up, I don't think an Indy driver even has won a race in F1.
first off it's not so much skill as it is difference in cars, the cars behave and drive so differently, and the technology. and juan pablo montoya and Jacques Villeneuve want words with you
- Mario Andretti : 1965, 1966, 1969 Indycar champion, 1969 Indy 500 winner -> 1978 F1 champion - Jacques Villeneuve : 1994 Indy 500 runner up, 1995 indycar champion and 1995 Indy 500 winner -> 1997 F1 champion. Post that we still had Indycar (or rather champ car) that graduated to F1 but none of them being champion. - Alex Zanardi: 1997 and 1998 Indycar CART champion -> 1999 Williams F1 (although he did raced F1 before) - Juan Pablo Montoya: 1999 Indycar CART champion, 2000 Indy 500 winner (although said it was IRL race using IRL chassis) -> Williams (2001-2004) and Mclaren (2005-2006) - Cristiano Da Matta: 2002 Indycar CART champion -> Toyota F1 (2003-2004) - Sebastian Bourdais: 2004-2007 Champ car (because IRL taken Indycar's trademark) champion (he was also the record holder of the most consecutive Indycar/champ car champion being 4 straight times, he was sort of like Michael Schumacher of Indycar) -> Toro Rosso/Minardi/Alpha Tauri/whatever the f*ck they called (2008-2009).

What an incredible race, can’t believe I got to live through this era of Indycar, glad I was tuned in at the time. Thanks for the uploads!
One of the all time classics. A great three way fight between three of the top Indycar drivers of the time
The greatest oval race in American Open Wheel Racing history. This is CART at its best.

I was at this race 8/8/1993- 10th row and birthday boy Nigel Mansell won!
Was also there. I was six years old, but remember it fairly well. I'm so happy how many races this channel has uploaded that I've attended.

I (also) just now saw it for the first time. Good heavens, what a race it was, and what a victory for Nigel! :O :O :O

Too bad to see Boesel crash out of this one. He had a good season but could never quite get past the Penske/Newman-Hass machine.
This and Cleveland 1995. Best oval and road/street race (respectively) of the PPG CART IndyCar World Series era.
An Englishman wins the New England 200, seems pretty fitting if you ask me.

man those last couple of laps and that fight, that was a good fight and i miss when indycars could do that

Has an Indy car driver ever gone over to F1 and won a championship?

azynkron Jacques_Villeneuve 1997 Formula One World Champion
1995 PPG Indy Car World Series Champion
1995 Indianapolis 500 Winner
some guy..kind of unknown. i think his name was mario andretti or something. very unknown driver, i can see why you'd ask this question
