Scott's lap is dag gone scary fast 😲 but can you imagine what it felt, looked like in 1996? 🤯

If the CART/IRL split didn't happen, imagine what a Team Penske car in CART would have done in 2000 at Indianapolis... Gil de Ferran did a 241mph average speed lap at Fontana that year. Those cars were absolute bullets back then.

Crazy to think that Scott Brayton’s father, Lee, passed away not quite a month ago and Scott’s record is broken. Race in Peace Spinner and of course Scott

Both laps #3 had a 0.050 MPH difference, 26 years apart! Thank you for this great video!

I like the music used it really brings out that classic 80/90s feel

Watching this makes me wish they were able to use the qualifying boost in the actual race.

It’s all about cornering speeds now. More efficient aero and going much quicker in the corners now with less power. Doing more with less. Back then it was pure straight line speed but not so much in the corners. Can you imagine running a beast engine from 1996 and putting it in a modern day chassis, tire, and aero package?

Its interesting to see how Brayton's lap speeds mostly went upwards except for Lap 2. Dixons lap speeds kept getting a little slower and slower which is to be expected.

Brayton's car had the increased boost allowed as a stock block-derived engine and I believe in 1996 they might have been fucking with the pop-off valve to get even more than they should (they did that one at some point); so he was probably lifting in the corners which they don't do with the modern cars. The fall-off of the current cars is all tyre dropoff: the old cars would have had that but because they were probably lifting it also means that you have Brayton feeling more confident and keeping more in it on the later laps that compensates. What makes the 2022 lap remarkable for me is that they did it with possibly a 300bhp differential to Brayton's car: just goes to show how efficient the current package is. They also had by far the best conditions (1996 pole day was windy and cold; that's why Arie went 4mph faster on Day 2 of qualifying) which helped Dixon

​@@HighlandCall Brayton's car is just a straight line bullet, with brute force power. Dixon's car is a slick efficient cornering beast. Either way, these guys rule.

Those 90's cars cannot be passed in how much cooler they looked and how much better they sounded..

Brilliant well-realized video! Thank you!

Thanks For Uploading ☺😎

That was magnificent to behold. Thank you

This is good stuff. Interesting in 1996 that both Brayton and Luyendyk improved on laps 3 and 4. Nowadays you see pretty much everyone getting progressively slower

So sad that Brayton never got to show what that car could do for 500 miles

i think its amazing the cars could go that fast back then, and also that the cars now can still go that fast with all the extra safety measures and other limitations

And cars nowadays can achieve these ridiculous speeds with more efficient aero & less power to boot. Tech progress is amazing.

RIP Scott Brayton.

Very cool! Poor Scott Brayton. He died a few days later, right?

i was a little suprised by the speeds this year, wonder if Arie and that amazing mane's all time record will be under threat next year or they'll slow em down a bit.

Dixon was only 0.5 km/h faster at the average.

It is, but Luyendyk was not on pole that year because he had technical problems on pole day and qualified on day 2.
