Definitely one of the best.

You can only imagine the hype after finally winning the f1 championship and the expectations of joining cart racing

He was a conceited egotistical person when he lived on the Isle of Man

@@purtlemoirrey1161 i think that comes largely from him knowing he was as good as the world champions because he regularly beat them, but very unfortunate.

those not them

400?! I think you mean 300 :D

TheKingduffy138 At Indy 500 quals in 1993 Arie Luyendyk averaged 223 mph (360 kmh) over the 2.5 mile oval meaning down the straights he was hitting closer to mid 230’s - 240 mph or up to 386 kmh. Just a few years later Arie set the track record at IMS with an average speed of 382 kmh.

@@eligoddard2730 That's still not 400

You forgot 'the best eyebrows in the business'👍🏁

In 2000 Gil de ferran averaged 241 mph (around 380 km/h) at indy, that means that in the straights he would hit more than 400 km/h, thanks to ultra little downforce and 900+ hp turbo engines

He should have been a 3 times world champion. He was always the underdog. And always got dealt a bad hand, until he retired, then he got a fair deal at last. No 1 driver in a top team with a top car that could finish races, at last. The Lion, Senna said he was the only driver that he feared to see in his mirrors. The Lion

And was interchangeable with his eyebrows.

😂😂😂😂👍

It also held reserves of beer and shepherds pie!

fastest mooooostach in the wooooorld

@@bobtee6466 lol!

well they based a comedy character on him Steve Pissing :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7iHbNJeqdS3hGQ.html

Because Tom Selleck is too old to play him now.

That is true😁

Me too, but I had been watching as much Indy car as I could find in the UK for several years prior to that. In the early to mid 1980s all that was shown was an edited recording of the Indy 500, shown a week or more later.

Late 90s CART was much more entertaining than Schumacher vs. Hakkinen.

saleem waheed its always better than

CART was better until about 2001

Great list.

Good to see Watson's name in there never forget the day he crashed and he's car split in half

I will buy that . Certainly in Australia

YEah no. He won his F1 title in a car no other team could match. End of story.

In a car nobody else could drive properly. He thrashed his teammate and then went on to win the Indycar title the year after. Fantastic driver.

🤣😂 "nobody else could drive properly" Yeah, try telling that to Alain Prost who won the title next year. Or try telling that to Senna who mamaged to get 3 pole positions out of a post-active suspension Williams that was difficult to drive. Or try telling that to Damon Hill and Jaques Villeneuve, both of whom won the title without the bonus of being THE ONLY CAR IN THE FIELD WITH ACTIVE SUSPENSION, like Nigel had the luxury of. Also of note, Nigel's teammate that he "thrashed" was an aging Riccardo Patrese! 🤣 He only ever had 6 wins out of 256 starts!! 😂🤣 Half of Patrese's wins were in that dominant Williams car!!! 😂🤣😂 Patrese is literally THE ONLY teammate Mansell ever "thrashed" Every other teammate Mansell had in F1 either beat him senseless or was at the very least his equal. No. Mansell was no beast. At best he was a slightly better than average driver that could win races if given a top car. He was more of a whiny housecat really. In fact, he was a top notch whiner more than he was a winner! 🤣😂

Erik Corredor prost had to have power steering fitted. He cpildnt drive it. Anyhow, i get it. Youndont like or rate Mansell. We will have tomagree tomdisagree my friend.

@@petyrkowalski9887 beta males hate MEN with a MANLY mustache

Andretti, Villeneuve, Montoya.

Not sure about Montoya winning an F1 Title?

Yeah my bad, was thinking of actual Indianapolis race winners.

U guys forgot about Fittapaldi!!!

Did Mario Andretti won indycar title?

Indycar Racing 1 and 2 were such amazing sim games! I spent a lot of time playing those during the 90s

+Cheetah Car I remember Mansell and Prost at Ferrari (god I feel old lol) and you're absolutely right, Prost was just simply a level above Mansell. Mansell was spectacular to watch but could also be erratic.

@David Pietras you are exactly right and wrote the post I was thinking of. I wear a Senna '91 replica helmet on my motorcycle, I cried at the Senna documentary. BUT, over the years, I have become convinced that the "hated" Prost is actually the better driver. Senna is known for pole positions, but Prost had 41 fastest race laps, to Senna's 19. One of Senna's titles was won in a year that Prost scored more points, but the rules forced him to drop points. It should be 5 titles to 2, not 4 to 3. Prost may be better, but Senna is still my favorite. Any thoughts?

@David Pietras Great points, and I think we are on the same page. Long live (real) turbo F1!

@James Hodson Wise? That ship sailed a long time ago! lol.

@Cheetah Car I think everyone considers Prost better than Mansel.

"The Lion"

When I was young enough to do hero worship but old enough to really understand what was going on. Peak racing for me. But run that's probably true of all teenage racing fans. My Dad thinks it was better when Fangio and Stirling Moss were the men to beat

Just not so fun when he opens his mouth

Grow one in November over here in Australia we call it MOVEMBER ( not a typo ) to raise money for mens health. Not sure if it's wotld wide.

@@robertmclachlan8372 am growing it now but will consider raising money mens health

I know, I am truely envious of that. There was something about Paul Newman.

@@arconeagain He was cool,and he loved his bikes!

@@djyul Like cool hand Luke.

@@arconeagain wasnt that the film where he ate all those boiled eggs?

@@djyul yep

DieKolkrabe only because an F1 champion was there and the world watching if he could be the first to hold f1 and Indy at same time lol when he stop I never watch another Indy race again lol

I think that indy is finally on its way back. F1 will go down hard its fake sport only 3 teams are capable of winning its a joke

It's definitely getting better, but Indy still doesn't have the international appeal that CART had yet.

Yeah they showed the whole season on Itv and the year after. Wasn't enough ratings to compete with F1in the end though.

I don't understand your last paragraph.

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.

Too expensive I bet

so sad what has happened to Indy Car racing since 1995!

Yes he was one my favorites at the time too.

Ha ha! Nigel high pants Mansell. Hey when you're as good as him you can wear your pants over your head.

He means half pints of fluid he was having drained from his back
