Lovely sound these cars had back then.

Nothing better than CART Champcars / IndyCars! Thank you!

Brings back so many memories. Absolute monster cars. Today's IndyCar is half the car

This is my favorite Long Beach layout

96 to 2000 probably the best years for me !

Ah! Those cars looked and sounded so good! Golden Era indeed.

The sound of the engines were impressive.

These were the years I´ve learned to love Indy. Here in Brazil I was watching every race with my dad. For me these cars are the best.

The voice of CART/INDY, Paul Page. This was, IMO, the pinnacle of these machines.

Sucks to lose the race so near the end but that Pennzoil livery just looks so good.

Indycar today just doesn't compare to this. Real shame. This was better than F1! Great commentary team of Paul and Danny also. R.I.P Gil.

Ohhh man,the sound of CART series....

Richie Hearn and Michel Jourdain Jr. were the two drivers in this race who started the Indy 500 a month later as rookies. They later finished 1-2 in the Las Vegas 500K race five months later and were the only two drivers on the lead lap at the end.

Is this peak Long Beach? Great crowd, awesome cars, lots of chassis/engine/tire competition, constant unpredictability.

Thanks Indycar!

I was there with my brother at the hairpin turn...awesome sight and sound!!!

Was 6 at this race and would wander around the track from the grandstand at the start finish line. With no question that was the loudest part of the track.

I was about 23 years old.....what a great time for motor racing the 1990s!!

Thanks for the upload. Great quality.

Thanks Indycar for the upload.

I always loved this version of long beach because of indy car racing by papyrus

Always loved this layout of Long Beach. Especially the middle sector, so much faster

Indy and Nascar was 🔥🔥🔥 in the mid to late 90s

Classic years for this series. Too bad Tony George managed to destroy it all.

Obrigado pelo post!

JV!!!! My favorite Champ Car driver! So consistent. And an even better Team Owner!

Early-mid '90's CART/Indy Car was the best auto racing series on the planet, especially when Firestone took a massive development effort and came back after two decades out of racing. Tires are so critical in racing and Firestone pushed Goodtyear to up their game and by '96-'97 had passed them by with an incredible racing tire product. By the late '90's Firestones were so superior the only way Goodyear could keep CART clients was by paying them. And as we all know Firestone took over as exclusive supplier and remain so today. I'd say their gamble to come back to Indy Car paid off!

I was there!

The juxtaposition of discussing the future California Speedway right before speaking to Greg Moore dredges up a lot of sad memories of a career cut short by a very unfortunate tragedy. He shouldn't have driven with his hand injured like that at such treacherous speeds in that race. Ultimately it was his decision alone to get in that day

I’m glad you guys upload what seem to be very good masters of these old races, and they look to be de-interlaced (at least from what I can see on my phone screen) but why stretch the video to 16:9? Better than cropping it, but honesty I’d rather just live with the black bars on the side rather than have everything look squashed.

@@de-fault_de-fault Yeah. I hate when anyone crops or stretches old footage. I recently watched some early 90s F1 footage in Japan. I didn't know they had HD video then. Muse Hi-Vision LD, which I think is 1035i. What a treat. Wish that was the standard everywhere back then. Modern Indy and F1 are a far cry from what they used to be hence why I watch classic 90s and early 2000s racing. I was at the Long Beach GP last year and they had the 70s and 80s F1 cars - historic racing. The year before that was IMSA GTP. Awesome stuff.

Shame that it is cropped for 16x9 and not in its native 4:3 aspect ration 🙃

I never knew Eddie Lawson dabbled in CART.

After the Toronto race, he was replaced by Davy Jones who finished second in the Indy 500 earlier that year for the remainder of the season.

Good video, unfortunate that the aspect ratio is wrong.

Im new to Indycar just became a F1 fan in 2018 can someone please tell me what engines were used 90s-2010s.....i got into Indy watching Nigel Mansell amazing 1993 season i know those were 2.65l v8 turbo engines and those cars were beautiful so low

@clicheguevara9917

2.65l v8 turbo for CART, 4.0 and 3.5l NA V8 for Irl. Real peak would have been 97-02 CART. 900hp, up to 16.000 revs. Look up the 94 indy 500 mercedes badged engine if you like a good story

Reynard, vs Lola vs Penske vs Eagle. Honda vs Mercedes vs Ford vs Toyota. Goodyear vs Firestone. 1990's CART was awesome

38:57 the reason we’re all here for….

21:00 the automated closed-captions appropriately go *[MUSIC]*

why is everything better back in the- days

Zanardi still wasn't used to the American mentality where backmarkers fight to stay ahead of the leaders instead of letting them past. The same thing happened at Vancouver. Without those, he wins the title as a rookie.

Also Paul Tracy a dawg

RIP Greg Moore

Pupo Moreno??🤨🤨 Just discovered it’s Roberto’s middle name.

i literally just watched the 1983 long beach gp... f1 should have stayed there and detroit for a few more years

that FAKIN GRID LINEUP .... "get out of here" :-D

Is anyone else having trouble hearing the race analysis over the cars?

Alex Zanardi certainly was entertaining in the late 90s, but that move on rahal was on a wing and pray. Felt sorry for Greg Moore, i think Christian Fillipardi cut him up, guess that's racing for you. Gil De Ferran really unlucky, drove a commanding race.

Sully was so great at color commentary, he and Paul needed to get their rhythm down but once they started to click Danny added a great fresh perspective. I loved the Page-Bobby 'for certain sure' Unser-Sam Posey trio, probably the best ever, but the endless Bobby-Sam bickering was getting tired, and I think they finally refused to work together any longer such was their mutual animosity (Bobby being banished to turn 2 at Indy was hilarious.) Paul and Danny (along with the legendary pit team of Jack Arute and Gary Gerrold and Jan B) were developing into a great team. Not sure how long it lasted. Contrast this era with the utter cheese fest, carnival barker style broadcast team and production quality that began in the 00's and continues today that's so cringe it's embarrassing. '95 was the end of the golden era of Indy Car/CART racing , but '96 had it''s moments, and this broadcast team really made it come alive. A better time, in every way.... EDIT: the sound mix was off a lot, many times the engines drowned out the announcers lol...

a good run, but the sound.......

And they say modern F1 cars are wide...

They were, but it's a bit deceptive in this video, as they stretched a 4:3 image to 16:9.

1:04:42 minnie mouse

Real men drove these cars.

Not only have you cropped a 4:3 into 16:9, but there's also only audio in the left channel. I get it's free but this is honestly so amateurish... complete joke indycar.

Unbelievable, these cars r fast, cool looking, and the engines sounds crazy. Indy car 2022 you suck?

RIP Moore and Krosnoff. My dad got me their autographs 😢

I was there! I was almost 3 years old
