Drop through 5 and a half storeys.

totally skipped over the Montoya crash without explanation as to why they were under yellow.

That's dirt racing experience there

The cars are exciting to watch, the drivers are exciting to watch, the tracks are the best. IndyCar for this old former driver and perennial race fan is simply the best racing available. Thank you, Roger Penske, and all of the car owners for bringing the joy of racing back to me.

I didnt know that the hybrid would allow a driver to get going after a run off etc where alot of the time the car would stall and need the bump start , eliminates needles yellows. LOVE THAT

If the hybrid brings better fuel efficiency, it could bring some very interesting pit strategies.

NARRATOR SCREAMING INTO A MICROPHONE IN THE STUDIO, PRETENDING TO BE OBSERVING THE ACTUAL RACE,,,,,,,, THESE ARE VETERANS OF ""SOAP BOX DERBY""

most excited to see this on ovals - no longer will Indy (fresh baths excluded) be limited to one-lane choo choo trains - everyone behind the leader will be generating hybrid power and waiting for a perfect time to gun it and make a pass

stock car racing - awesome

Amazing lack of informational content. I feel like these series (Indycar and F1) should hire me to do marketing for they hybrid power plants to actually pump people up about the cool technology.

Drivers can restart? FINALLY

Amazed how this video makes this hybrid unit look like a good thing. 120hp? Nope, more like 50hp. It won't make enough power to make up for the added weight. And the supercaps have such a low capacity they will only get a few seconds of boost. And the worst thing is the rear braking. When they harvest the power under braking, the supercaps will top off and the regenerative braking will go away. Since it's not brake by wire, the driver will try to slow down more and lock the front brakes. The hybrid unit should have really only been introduced with a new car where they can make room for lithium batteries like most hybrid units use. The only thing the fans are going to notice different after they start using the hybrid is that the cars will be slower. Such a shame.

I think Catherine Legge did that too, before the Safer Barrier. She walked away. Amazing!

Looking forward to seeing how this changes the racing. Should be interesting.

As long as it still sounds like a race car(which it does) I don’t care what it is. My biggest thing is the starters. Hopefully now cautions will be thrown only when warranted and not held off to ensure everyone pits before it’s thrown. Now cautions should only be thrown for contact which means throw the yellow immediately.

The extra HP is great (but comes at a weight penalty), but being able to re-start after a stall is HUGE!!! This should eliminate countless, painfully long cautions. Thank you IndyCar, Honda, Chevrolet.

So with Honda and Chevy working together to build this engine, does that mean that both engines are identical? I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I’m a little bit confused

Now the radio comms wil be "My unit broke", "My unit died", "Something wrong with my unit".

Reminds me of 1971 when Mario and Gordan Johncock were racing for position and someone blew an engine entering turn three. Mel Kenyon spun in the oil and got the wall at turn 3 exit and the safety crews were out to take care of him. He was half way out of the car. The yellow was clearly out. Johncock and Andretti came roaring down the back straight still fighting for position, neither willing to yield and both got in the oil and crashed. Johncock hit Kenyon's car and only luck saved the lives of the safety crew at his car. Mel had seen him coming and slid down into the cockpit and suffered only minor injuries. Mario hit further down the track and hit hard. All this happened because Mario and Johncock were not going to back down for the caution till they had the position they wanted. I don't know if it was Mario or Gordon who should have got the position but their stubbornness almost killed 3 people. Their was an attitude about rules back then and it was 'I'll do what I want and we'll force the officials to try and enforce it later.'

NOW, can we get a chassis!!!

More hype for a slow spec series.

All #indycar needs is a new chassis. Not this BS

Honda Without racing it feels bland

Hope this will convince some news manufacturers to join Indycar

Apple level 'we've done this first'... haha

Who thought of putting the motor-generator in the bellhousing? Honda had the Integrated Motor Assist on their first hybrid about 25 years ago that was sandwiched between the engine and transaxle.

Why is this done mid season?

Best part is it doesn't affect the exhaust sound.

Get ready for tedious practice and quali sessions while drivers trundle around recharging and getting in the way of those on push laps. There's a bigger chance of yellow and red flags during these sessions cause inevitably someone is going to rear end a slower car - hopefully not fatally.

wait, why are they using supercapacitors?

My favorite japanese road corse is suzuka, fuji, and motegi.

Unnecessary

welcome to the new era

Do i understand correctly, you're going to start running a new engine halfway through the season? Why not wait until next season?

Very cool!

Awesome thank you!

I know one fan doesn’t count for much. But for me when this series goes EV I’m out. (This comment somehow disappeared the first time)

Idc how dangerous this track is they need to add it back on the schedule

I wonder how long they can deploy the electric boost by using ultra capacitors

Awesome thank you

Looking forward to this, and how they show it working during the race! And no more drivers spinning their fingers in the air for a restart from the safety team!!

20:42 race starts

Herta had this race.

Do they think racing fans are stupid....this is not innovative, its copying what the other major racing series have already been doing for years...

Sounds like the system developed by Steve Farkley.

We are excited to see it deployed and watch how the drivers use it on track.

I wish Chevy and Honda would have worked on their own engine development to keep it a true manufacturer challenge.

Bring 2015 IndyCar series back

This will boost the cars to over 800 HP and do away with the stalling. I don't understand the complaints. Faster racing with less interruptions. Looking forward to see how this debuts at Mid-Ohio.

Exciting, I hope Indycar is collaborating with iRacing to get this new engine and changes added to the sim ASAP!
