Kind of a random choice for an official upload there.

2002 CART was weird to watch at the time. I was a pretty casual viewer then and had no idea how badly CART was doing behind the scenes, but it was obvious from the start of that season that this was not a healthy racing series. The 18-car grid in the first race (with a bunch of major sponsors missing from the cars that were there) was a monumentally sad sight, and Eurosport's coverage had gone from pretty decent (most races shown live, here in :finland: we even got Finnish commentary for many of the 2001 races) to "whatever, just show the highlights at 1 AM a week later" as they had realized the situation.

Gotta say though, those are still some really good-looking race cars. I especially like the KOOL schemes.

Huh, I forgot PacWest was still around at the start of 2002. I guess there were 20 cars on the grid in Mexico, then, which was still a pretty sorry sight compared to the previous year's 26-car field.

PacWest obviously never quite recovered from appearing in Driven. :v:

Autosport says it's happening: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/128926/alonso-to-race-in-2017-indy-500

That's definitely a headline I did not expect to see today.

edit: Alonso's statement was added to the report after I posted this

Champ Car and IndyCar merged in 2008. Ganassi jumped to Indy some years before that (2003, I think) and is still a top team. This is actually the first year they're not running the red Target livery.

Is it too early to post a real Delta Force intro instead of a remix of the gimp intro? If so, too bad.

I can't wait to buy Takuma Sato's Indy Kamikaze Racing for my Panasonic FZ-10 R·E·A·L 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. I wonder if it runs on the game engine from Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed. The FMVs should be good in any case.

Panasonic was just one of the licensed manufacturers of the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, but they were also the only one that mattered so even though calling the system "Panasonic 3DO" is technically inaccurate, nobody cares. Well, it is the 3DO so nobody cares regardless, but you know what I mean.
