IMO the entire CART era was the absolute pinnacle of open-wheel single-seat racing in North America! So many different chassis and engine manufacturers involved- this was NOT a spec series. Much more like Formula One. 🙂

Well that was also its downfall, the dark side of being more like F1. The cars got too expensive and advanced and the speeds got too high on some tracks too.

@@theflagstand I would argue the downfall was Tony George and his out-sized ego. Cars got too expensive for who? The level of sponsorship during that era was off the charts. Without looking I would bet the TV ratings were much better also. As a road racing fan it was just the best ever and as a mechanic, spec racing just doesn't get it for me. I've been hard core F1 ever since the CART-IRL split for that reason.

@@markcaton9056 Well there was definitely something concrete that led to IRL stealing CART's top teams, be it the expensiveness of CART or the inexpensiveness of IRL. And because the cars were so advanced they could reach insane speeds whoch led to what happened in Texas in 2001. That weekend was a significant part in the CART's downfall. There's always a limit in motor racing when it comes to how advanced, fast and expensive things can be. CART worked well for a while but the way it was developing it was always gonna go down sometime, especially with George offering a cheaper option with Indy 500.

I think it was brilliant as well but I also enjoy modern indycar quite a bit. There are definitely some CART tracks that need to come back into the Indycar schedule, though. Namely Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport, and Michigan Speedway.

Back in 1998 CART wanted to buy Formula One, but Ecclestone didn't take them seriously.

One of the 978 times of the season where Juan Montoya dominated the race just to lose it by reliability issues. He should have cruised to win back to back championships in 1999-2000 but finished the season outside top 10 in the standings

I love how they always seem to find a way to mention how Paul Tracy is overweight

@tomwells8093 9 ай бұрын

It shows how quick Tracy was. Quite overweight, so he's down tenths of a second to skinnier drivers before he turns a lap. So when he's faster than them, imagine how quick he really is with that deficit.
