It looks like most all these tough old- school racers walked (or limped) away.

2. woodhatch 222 days ago

This video released on the same day Dan Wheldon is killed in Indie (RIP).

Kind of proves it's still a dangerous sport.

I apreciate the apparently senseless way to live of our grandpas.
In Italy we had Tazio Nuvolari, that was a great champion and it's still much loved

You must have a huge respect for these guys. My idol when I was little was Ayrton Senna. Cried a river when he died

#12 Speed nowadays is quite different...

15. CorpseGrinder 222 days ago

I felt like watching a snuff movie...
but that was just the good old days...
when people thought it would be safer to be thrown out of the car
then straping urself into it

16. Break-a-leg 222 days ago

Well, the guy at 1:44 is toast. Literally.

I guess the sport is alot safer these days: 15 cars crashing in an indie car race and only one perishes. Ofcourse, that's still one too many, but if it were 15 rickety racemobiles then it would be a whole lot more deaths and injuries!

God must love racingsports: he invites everyone over for an autograph!

although they go by 451 km/h nowdays, it looks so much saver than this time here..
why wasnt no one locked by a seatbelt or at least protected vs flip overs.

18. Guss 222 days ago

no ABS, no airbag, no ESP, no assisted steering, no disk brakes but drum brakes .

19. metataggers 222 days ago

Perfect music!

20. Premtm 222 days ago

Classic one. Really dare devils those days without much protection against accidents.

21. jeffy 222 days ago

Safety last !

#18 Indycars use carbon fiber disc brakes at 'super speedways' and steel disc brakes at all other races. These cars are heavier yet faster than F1 cars on the tracks they race on. Good brakes are a must for safety. At this race they were averaging over 220 mph per lap,probably hitting 245 mph or better in the straights
