BONUS: Indycar at war! Ep. 2 - The nightmare attempt to rival the Indy 500 - The Race F1 Podcast | Transcription & Insights

Audio

Description

While the F1 world is a little quieter, we’re dropping a special three-part series into the feed as a winter bonus. all about the barely believable story of how Indycar racing was torn apart in the mid-90s.Episode 2 deals with CART's US 500 nightmare as it attempted to go head-to-head with the first 'IRL' Indy 500 in 1996. Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw and John Oreovicz then look back on CART's strength in the late-1990s, and the IRL's struggles to become established. Then at the turn of the century, Chip Ganassi Racing became the first big hitter from CART to go back to Indianapolis, starting a gradual shift of more teams crossing the divide each May, which eventually led to the first big full-time defection to the IRL.We hope you enjoy this little sideways step into another area of motorsport, but if it’s not for you, fear not we’ll be back with more F1 coverage very soon.
