This era of Champ Car was amazing. Used to stay up late night in the uk to watch Mark Blundell in the motorola car in the late 90s. Finally realised a boyhood dream in 2002 when i marshalled at the long beach GP and we had the Rockingham 500 in the UK. Incredible cars and fond memories.
God I miss Champcar. Those BIG V8 turbos and beautiful Lola chassis. I love indycar now but these cars were much better than the current generation of indycars.
At 0:45 Jordan must've hit the "push to pass" and enabled unlimited boost - it accelerated down the straight like it had at least 1000 horsepower and went right past the leader.
Well, I feel old. I remember watching this car actually race. Bourdais must have been watching this thinking give me my car back damn it. I bet he wouldn't skip a beat.
I have a question.I have a hard time trying to find out when and where racing stuff like this happens as i live in california.Racing and the science of racing is my passion so where do i find out when f1 cars are demoing or indycar etc??
A turbocharged V8 is faster than a turbocharged V6? Who woulda thunk it?? P.S. It is entirely possible to like one thing, without having to diss another...you should try it sometime, fanboy.
@@fordfocusonme1458Just this year they really started to break the records. Now with the hybrid unit the new records will fall again. These cars compared to the 2011 and back were night and day different on road/street courses.
No, this is a Champcar... P.S. Ever wonder why you guys have to talk down on one thing, to be able to talk up something else? Just another proud fanboy, or what?
Too bad didn’t have a better driver for this car. Would have loved to see it actually move. This dude was pussy footing around. In any case, glad to hear it on track again.
So great to hear this car again. Loved this era.
Hah! That second straightaway shot got the goosebumps going...
Thanks for the video!

:45 yep. That's it, that's what an IndyCar should sound like
Glad you made it to LB!!
@@toddmedina9163 I didn't unfortunately
Amen to that! That WOW factor is present on every engine note.
@@DavidLand91 Oh, sorry about that. I heard you on IndyCar radio on Saturday, so I thought you were at the track!
I cried tears of joy. How much we just took this for granted back then. We need to go back to cars/engines like this.
Ah man any kind of historic race is great because of stuff like this 😍That sound is magical

Yes I will take 25 of these running around Long Beach tomorrow, thank you.
I miss Champcar.
You're not alone, CART/CC ❤
Just the best time, I would record the races even if watching them live just to rewind and watch again. The cars, the drivers, etc. miss it.
At 0:45 Jordan must've hit the "push to pass" and enabled unlimited boost - it accelerated down the straight like it had at least 1000 horsepower and went right past the leader.
Epic footage! Nothing like the battles and legends that Champcar produced. Love to see these cars being exercised properly.
They should make HMSA Champcar series

Heard the DP01 crashed. Hopefully it is repairable.
I saw it in the paddock 😢, bummed that I didn't get to see it hit the track.
Noooooooo
I have a sudden urge to go eat at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles
Don Hoevel and his crew have done an amazing job with this car!!!! Don Hoevel racing the best race shop out there!!!!!!!!
What a car ❤ thanks mp for sharing. #bringbacklola
Did he forget to set the auto blip on? Those up shifts were rough
was the wik turned all the way up?? it sure did look like it? if it was that rare and im thankfull!!
Sounds like a race car, shifts like a race car
Thank You!
The LCD lights on the steering wheel don’t work anymore? :(
That boy be hauling da mail
I have a question.I have a hard time trying to find out when and where racing stuff like this happens as i live in california.Racing and the science of racing is my passion so where do i find out when f1 cars are demoing or indycar etc??
Is he clutching in while shifting? Upshifts seem slower than I remember.
Absolute badassery
Looked like it has more acceleration than todays cars
Those cars are still FASTER than the current IndyCars...

Not really. Many of the track records have been beaten by today's Indy Car.

They should allow Ford XBs to use...🤩👂
McDowell's :D
That is an Indycar, not the crapwagons we have now
No, this is a Champcar...
P.S. Ever wonder why you guys have to talk down on one thing, to be able to talk up something else? Just another proud fanboy, or what?
@codymoe4986 you are correct. As a Champcar, it is still miles cooler than the current crapwagon. I stand corrected
Looks and sounds like the driver has no business being behind the wheel
Yup. Drivetrain has left the building...
LOL! Maybe they should have hired you instead??
Too bad didn’t have a better driver for this car. Would have loved to see it actually move. This dude was pussy footing around. In any case, glad to hear it on track again.
Yes, because it is a pretty good bet that the car owner, told him to go all out and put on a show, wrecks be damned...
Should have let Sebass take that for a rip! This guy is brutal and the short shifting does not do justice to that screaming V8
Speaking of brutal, your use of the English language should be considered a war crime.
I think he was just typing fast
@@codymoe4986 I was typing fast douche!
