If you are in the pits, at ground level, they go by like blurs, even in the road course. I was lucky to be on pit road for part of the Indy Grand Prix and that was incredible to watch the sheer speed.
I had the privilege of being a season ticket holder for the Indy 500 from 1988 through the mid 1990's when the engines were still (normally aspirated ?) and (turbo charged ?). I quit going after the CART / IRL split of 1995 (?) All I know is the engines of that era were much louder and faster. Our seats were in the old Tower Terrace at the end of the pit lane which were removed for the remodeling prior to the 1st F-1 race which I did attend. The Indy cars in the early 90's would hit 240 MPH at the end of the front stretch. I believe it was 40 seconds to lap the 2.5 mile track at the time. Watching on T.V. doesn't do justice, you have to go at least once. The F-1 cars of the day had a very high pitched scream sound. Extremely high revving.
@T C. The IndyCars were faster then but not by much...236 then at Indy, 233 now.. But the racing today is far superior now as well as the reliability Back then you were lucky to have 10 cars finish the race..And only 1-3 maybe on the lead lap..Today over 25 finish the race with many on the lead lap...Regardless of what the corporate media has told you, the split was not caused by Tony George..The split was caused by CART which always sought complete control of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and even Roger Penske admits this now...Tony George created his own series in order to maintain control of his property and the Indy500 25/8 was created to help guarantee his new series success..If you owned your own property which happened to house the World's biggest 1 day Attended Sporting Event you better believe you would be on the defensive in protecting your interests if someone came in and tried to TAKEOVER the entire event..By the way, IndyCars are going hybrid in 2023 and there will be a huge increase in horsepower. 34% increase I believe I read...This may result in new speed records depending on the cars configuration
Speed is weird it's all about perspective, he has a fairly wide camera angle on covering the span of several football fields so in reality its really, really fast
@@freddarau I had to slow it down, but you are right, its not the 488 Pista, its a shitty corvette aping the styling of another Ferrari. Pista 1/4 mile is 10.1 seconds and Zr1 1/4 mile is 10.8 seconds. Power to weight ratio for the win.

@@justincase8037 f1 cars have more horsepower than indy cars. They don't do oval tracks like indy does. The clearest view on the speed of cars between f1 and indy is the US grand prix. F1 cars are 7 seconds faster around that circuit than indy cars. F1 is more about aerodynamics and the development race between different manufacturers. Where indy is one package. If you put an f1 car around a track that's meant for oval, it will beat an indy car. I'm not biased, as I do like indy racing. It's just facts.
@Mike B. No sir you're wrong.. As configured no F1 car comes close to the top speed of IndyCars...Indycars hold a huge speed record over F1 with the highest official speed every recorded being 257 for Indy and 232 for F1..The entire Indy 500 field qualified at over 227 mph in 2021 with the top speed this year at 233. No where in any part of any F1 race do they come close to that speed.
@@richarddobson3138 ugh, you kinda proved my point in your own response... ''as configured'' As of right now the indy car uses a 2.2L TTV6 producing 500-700 HP depending on downforce. F1 engines are over 1000HP using a 1.6L Turbo HybridV6. F1 if they wanted to configure their cars for the Indy 500, could develop packages bringing their HP to around 850HP bringing their HP DOWN to only 150 MORE than indy cars. F1 cars with so much more downforce ''as configured'' could not go as fast around the indy 500, you're correct. but also remember around the mexican grand prix during the current engine era in F1, the highest speed on a street circuit is 231.6 MPH. Give the F1 teams a chance to create an indy 500 spec car, bringing horsepower down, and aero packages specific for ovals, the speeds would be much different. Indy cars around the circuit of the americas, in Austin, TX is 14 seconds slower than an F1 car, both on straights and turns. Indy cars around street circuits are actually closer to the feeder league of F1, F2. Also, the record for Indy cars is not 257.. i'm not sure where you got that from. Its actually just 239.260mph. 8mph faster than an F1 car around the mexican street circuit.. eesh.

Very well written. Top job. I concur. I was there live in 1987 and 1990. Would kill to go back.
Really excited to see them in real life next year in Nashville. It will be the first race I will be attending and I am stoked!!!

Watched them race at Nashville 3 times. They were such beautiful night shows! The trophy was a Gibson Les Paul. Back when Danica could compete!
Too bad that race will take one of my home track races away. But actually tbh I don’t even care because my home track sucks.
What! Indy at Nashville next year. Oh yea!!

Watched an Indy car race at Kansas Speedway. Those cars are so fast it's incredible.
They go like 200+ MPH in those corner. thats amazing
If you are in the pits, at ground level, they go by like blurs, even in the road course. I was lucky to be on pit road for part of the Indy Grand Prix and that was incredible to watch the sheer speed.
There is no way I would be seating next to the catch fence. Those cars come apart a whole lot more than stock cars.
Yup. Dario Franchitti in Houston
The V8 Turbos in CART Circa 2000 sounded the best. Also the V-10 Ferrari F1 in Indy 2002 GP was sensational
I miss the speedway so much!!!🏁
2010 was my last year after goin since 1980, in Florida now gotta get back one more time
Love how you have the stationary camera (thank you!) on the pace lap and then the full speed real. TV never gets this shit right
Tv never captures the actual speed
I sat in the inside of turn 4 in 92...with the turbo V8s 100yards back then they were LOUD
