These Indy cars look and sound better than the ones today!!!

This quality kicks all kinds of ass! Thanks!

RIP Big Al, his pass on Michael Andretti still gives me chills. The finish, 👌 This is what the Indy 500 is all about!

Thank you IndyCar! Please keep posting full races from the past!

1992. My favourite Indianapolis 500 of all time apart from many others.

That turn one by Michael... holy hell.

I remember this race so well. This was my second 500. I remember Michael dominating the entire race and his car dying on the backstretch with 11 laps to go. I wore shorts to this race and that was the coldest day ever. I think I wrapped the Indianapolis Star around my legs to block the cold wind. It was much harder to follow the race in these days unless you listened to a scanner or the radio broadcast with headphones. I remember tracking Michaels car closely and even counting the seconds for his lap times and I knew something was wrong because it was taking him too long to pass in front of us on lap 188/189. I always hoped Michael would win this race. Hopefully the pandemic is over for next year and those stands are full!!

ABC screwed up the shot of the closest indy 500 finish coming to the checkered flag. Along with the cold temp and half the field leaving on a stretcher, thats what I remember most.

I wore the VHS tape out on this one. Great to see it without the tracking glitches.

Aside from the memorable finish, this race and the whole month was a “bloodbath”. It was hard crash after hard crash with numerous injuries and sadly claimed one life (Jovy Marcelo). There were changes to this track next year such as reconfiguring the walls and replacing the low lines with the warm up lane.

Mario crashes and still he's able to put it in reverse and get out of the way. Used to have this one on VHS . Thank you.

Tale of 2 families this Indy run was, great day for the Unser's, horrible day for the Andretti's... Unser Sr's 3rd place finish was the best performance at Indy for the Buick V6 engine & proved that the motor could indeed last 500 miles...

Right off the master quality! The deiniterlacing is fantastic.

Most destructive Indy race ever. The amount of broken bones was incredible.

The day before this race it was hot and humid with high temperatures in the high '80's, low '90's. Then a cold front rolls in overnight, and the low temperature was under 40. There was almost a frost that day. Looking back on it, I think the race should have been delayed an hour to warm up the track. Most of the crashes we saw would not have happened that day if they have waited to start it. Air temperature gradually went up to low '60's later in the afternoon. I sat in turn 4 that day. Wished I was in 1 to see the double pass of cheaver by the andretti's on the start.

At this point the shivers run up and down my spine, what more can I say. RockinRonny

I was 14 Still one of my favorites!!!

RIP Scott Brayton, killed in practice leading up to the996 Indy 500, his 14th... Brayton speaks here during the '92 race after crashing - 1:28:56...

Great upload. Thanks Indycar.

The ‘92 race was the best! Engine failures, unexpected accidents, sheer bad luck, and a close finish.

same thing Adrian said............. thank you for this..............

I can remember my dad yelling at the TV during this clusterfuck of a race. 😂

Great to see crystal clear classic races! Thank you Indycar!

Oh my! I wasn't even born. I hv no excuses to don't watch. Oh yes! 12:41 - First lap and corner. What a double overtake!

2:18:58 Big Al's pass on Michael Andretti. Not sure I remember anyone else passing Michael at racing speed that day, can anyone confirm that? Ended up being the lead Buick (one of only two to finish) by race's end too. RIP Big Al.

According to Wikipedia this was Mario's "worst day of his life".

My first Indy. Sitting in turn 2. Best seats in the house. Remember the shock when Roberto crashed.

greatest race ever! i heard lynn st james finished in last place which was 11th or 12th place because thats how many cars finished

The coldest Indy 500 in history to date

Awesome! Odd seeing the finish without Bob Jenkins IMS Radio call!

Thank you, indycar!

Man, it's a wonder that only one life was lost in May of 92. So many awful hits. Also, if that tire from Jeff Andretti's car bounced two feet further, it could've been horrific for Gary Bettenhausen. RIP Jovy Marcelo

thanks

Ah yes 1992: -> The year where the temperature was so cold that two cars spun during Formation Lap. One of them is the pole sitter. -> The year that look like the Andrettis showed their most dominant display only to binned it by the end. -> Rick Mears career ending crash. -> Still to this day, the closest ever finish in Indy500 history. Scott Goodyear highest finish in his CART career, he had another chance in 1995 but got Black Flagged for ignoring penalty

God I miss that apron

pre-start crash and spin of Roberto and Gash. Left hand turns only means the right side tires heat up quicker than the left. Both drivers tried to punch it and hooked left. Sad and just an indication that this would be a very hard race.

Thank goodness fire trucks cannot drive along the pit lane anymore, when you think about what happened in 1973, that was a positive change in the right direction.

“You don’t know what Indy Means!”

When Indy cars were great

That race had its fair amount of crashes on the day and quite a number of injured drivers, namely Mario and Jeff Andretti, Brian Bonner, Emerson Fittipaldi and others I can’t think of right now, also that was dashed unlucky for Micheal Andretti to retire from the race with only a handful of laps to go, when will the run of bad luck at Indy ever end for the Andretti family.

I miss Jim Nabors. RIP Gomer.

Great stuff, all the cars that crashed out made it like a smash up derby,

The coldest Indianapolis 500 race produced a wreckfest. This race as of today is the closest Indy 500 finish with LittleAl vs Goodyear. Along with LittleAl's famous Indy 500 quote! Ford returns to Indycar with the killer Cosworth engine giving Michael Andretti a massive advantage against the non-Ford powered engines until with eleven laps to go. It didn't win the 1992 Indianapolis 500 and Michigan 500 or even the 1993 Indy 500. However, Ford absolutely crushed the Chevrolets at the 1993 Michigan 500 taking all of the Top 5 spots.

RIP Ted Prappas 🙏

12:33 That Andretti's stake is on top fo 20th century racing to me!

Did anyone ever figure out what exactly was the cause of so many cars crashing out with extreme snap oversteer in turns 3 and 4 this year? There was never anything like it before, or since. Had to be a some combo weather issue: tires never warming properly for their compound, and loss of rear downforce due to the relative thinness of the air, as when a late spring cold front as powerful as this comes through dry, thin-less moisture-air sweeps down from Canada and pushes out out the thicker heavier air, a scenario which maybe was so unexpected it was never accounted for in the aero calculations. Something went badly wrong, to use one of my favorite Bobby Unser-isms 'for certain sure.' It's incredible to watch literally the same wreck caused by the same thing happen over and over and over again in an Indy 500. Very lucky nobody was killed (if Stan Fox hits Gasche a couple feet to the right differently, we likely would have. Stan's luck unfortunately went badly the other direction 4 years later...)

25th anniversary of Little Al's win!

Katie Guerrero, whoa...

“You just don’t know what Indy means”

I wonder if we'll see that side onboard view again..?

I was in turn 4!

At around 1h57m Mansell talking about the 500 without knowing he'd be in the race a year later...

How bad was Jeff Andretti's crash? The impact was so hard that Jeff's left knee was driven upwards with sufficient force to dislocate Jeff's jaw. And this with Jeff wearing a helmet.

1:16:30 “Mario has crashed so many times here, he’s an expert at crashing without getting hurt”

8:08 ポールポジションのゲレーロがパレードラップでスピンしてリタイア

This race was mentioned on jeopardy last night and someone thought it was Daytona 500 reversal from what happened with a Daytona 500 from a particular year and someone got it wrong but luckily a contestant got it right and oh he did the game with over 25.000 dollars. So guys this is indy 500 not Daytona 500.

funny hearing such quiet onboards.

Great run by Al Sr. with the Lola-Buick.

I have been to Indianapolis motor speedway for the nascar cup series races but never been to a Indy 500

A lot of drivers got hurt at this race in 1992

every year great crowds all those bleechers in the infield all gone after 1995 split!

The Antarctica 500

Great...

400,000 people going bonkers the entire last lap!!

Buick V6 Turbo!😍😍😍😍😍

That was the funniest indy500, that i've ever seen. The best part from 8:10 :D From polesitter.

Loved those Texaco/ KMart cars. I know its just white and a lil black, but they looked sweet. And Mario, not finishing 20 of 27 races at Indy? As fast as he ALWAYS was at Indy, dude was as snakebitten as they come at the Brickyard. Could have EASILY won as many as Foyt, Mears, and Big Al, if not more.

2:16:30 Big Al Show starts!

2:37 the big tailpipe lol

Indy management should have done better after the first set of cold restarts led to chaos, and then the next one did, and the next one and they kept coming. I don't know what would have worked - all those messy restarts says don't do the same thing again.

35:30 ……I’m sorry, he does WHAT to Bettenhausen?

1:16:20 surprised someone as experienced Mario didn't let go of the wheel as that can badly break your wrist.

1:11:41 mysterious lift

2:46:42 - Bobby Unser is corrected by Sam Posey & actually acknowledges that he'd been wrong. Anyone else see pigs flying? 😂😂

Looked like Junior was blocking on the final straight 2:59:40 But whatever. Lucky there were no fatalities. Could have bee a sad day.

Bobby's snowmobiling comment at 2:35:31 didn't age well.

1:06:08 Man the look of Roger Penske's face when he realize both of his Marlboro Cars wrecked like this... This isn't the first time Penske's top cars went out of 'a' race in rapid succession.

Ahh the infamous crashfest.

1:11:12 where and when that crash happen?

Not Paul Page's finest call.

this race was a mess, in a good way, best cars indycar has ever had in my opinion and extremely tough track conditions causing guys to lose grip so easily.

1:51:34

2:47:18

1:57:27 RIP Ayrton Senna

Daredevils!

Terrible camera work at the finish!!!

2 crashes on the parade laps,including the pole sitter. If I were a driver I'd a been shitting my pantaloons in fear...lol..not a good sign.

It would be amazing if they used AI and remastered these

A sjeley Unser estava com cara de quem nao tomou banho

This is insanity

Best indy cars not like today's ugly cars

=O.O=

went to the 69 Indy - got bored after 110 laps - headed south with my buddies to visit grandpaw

this is the worst Indianapolis 500 I have ever seen, so far. This is the 2nd time I am watching this race, and it is a shame that it's the worst I have seen so far because of the good racing. But the constant crashes (thanks to cold weather) and engines blowing up and drivers getting hurt ruined this race for me. It's a miracle the photo finish is the best part about this crapshoot of a race.

7:20. Bobby Unser 1992...”the TRANSditions are good Paul. 2021 CNN “What did he say”. THUPPERRRR

That interlacing :(.
