TEXACO are proud to bring you Nigel Mansell's remarkable 1993 motor racing season.
This video is the story of how Mansel in his first season with Texaco products re-wrote motor racing history to become the PPG IndyCar Champion.
Running time: 40 mins approx

In 2014, Sebastian Vettel had a MK5 variant of his Red Bull racing car, he asked the team to paint a red number 5 on the inside in homage to Nigel Mansell. Martin Brundle asked Sebastian if he was a Mansell fan, he replied with: 'Yeah of course, he was a killer!' Vettel summed Nigel up perfectly with his reply, Mansell was an incredible driver.
He used number 1 in 2014.
Growing up in the UK in the 80's and 90's Nigel Mansell was my hero. I recall we actually go to watch the Indy Car season here too.
When IndyCar racing actually mattered...
Mansell, Prost, Senna, Piquet all racing together and over taking each other. I was a young kid when these guys where racing and i have great memories! Shame about the racing in F1 today!
Mark Derbyshire spot on
Yea it is such a shame
Its not the drivers but the cars that make f1 boring now. Just sit behind and follow.
@@joshhill5932 yeah the cars are way too big these days. Compare them side by side to the F1 cars mansell and co drove, and they're twice as big! But the tracks are all the same size. Like, Monaco is Monaco, and so these days with the massive cars there's even less overtaking than they're used to be, which is why Monaco is deathly boring every year (even though they have to keep it on the schedule, cos it's Monaco, plus every F1 driver lives there, for tax purposes, so it's their local race).
I dunno what IndyCar is like these days really. I've never really followed it super closely or anything, just watched the odd race here and there. F1 now is more popular than it's ever been before, especially in the US. It's kinda weird, like they loved Nascar for decades, but now they all follow F1 instead and Nascar viewing figures are dwindling. Meanwhile me and some of my fellow brits are actually getting into nascar now, because it's so different to every other motorsport. It's got a certain grit and realism to it. I dunno if those are the best words to use, but yeah. Like F1 has become so clinical and scientific, with few of the whacky characters you used to get as drivers because you had to be nuts to get behind the wheel of an F1 car.
Motorsports has always been about the characters. We say it's about the racing, and it is in part, but mostly we love to follow certain people because we love them, like Mansell and Senna. F1 has lost a bit of that now. Even though again it's actually more popular than ever. They've turned F1 into a reality TV show, literally (it's on Netflix) and good for them because it's clearly working.
But yeah I think I'll stick to watching motorsports that still have overtaking. Hopefully F1 will start to shrink the cars down a bit again. This year's cars are already a fair bit smaller than last year's, but they're still gigantic compared to the 80s and 90s F1 cars. Motorsports fans love overtaking, it's our favourite thing, so F1 spending the last 2 decades making F1 have much less overtaking in it has just been pointless.
F1 could honestly do with some ovals. Seriously. The giant ovals of nascar and indycar in the US, are wonderful to watch because there's more overtaking than any other kind of race because of how much space there is. Especially at the really big ones, like Indianapolis. Oval super speedway racing is completely different from every other kind of motorsports racing, it's a uniquely American thing, and they're pretty thrilling to watch surprisingly. There's always stuff going on, there's usually last-lap overtakes so you have no idea who will win until the race is over, there's more drafting than in any other motorsport, you can see the entire grid at the same time instead of only getting to see short clips of disconnected drivers on different parts of the track simultaneously which means you can see all the way from last place to first place in one glance, they're usually the fastest types of races in motorsports (super speedways like Indianapolis and Daytona and Talladega were built specifically for the idea of making a track that you never had to press the brake pedal and never had to let off the accelerator pedal, which is why these races are so fast but also why they're so dangerous). So yeah F1 honestly could do with an oval to race on every year. Just for some variety. And to counterbalance the borefest that is tracks like Monaco. Ask Dubai to build a big oval in the desert, cos they can afford it and are always looking for new things to build, and then race there once a year. It'd be a hit.
Thank you for this. I was 11 or 12 years old when I got this on VHS for Christmas. I loved it and being able to watch it again is awesome.
Nigel was so drugged up doing that report from Hospital. lol. Still my favourite racer of all time!
Nigel Mansell is what I call a real champion. He can go from one kind of motor sport to a different one and win both titles back to back and when you think the cars Mansell was driving where power monsters, I would like to see Hamilton try this.
+steven lamond F1 is the pinnacle of Motorsport today, and Hamilton is the most relevant driver of this era... the sport itself would lose out if he leaves... so it ain't happening mate!!!
I wish hamilton would leave F1, a whinger, a boring driver and over-rated. The sport wouldn't loose much if he left, the sport of F1 is dying mate. The tracks are boring, the cars sound like puss and it has got nothing to do with driver skill anymore, just who has the best car each season. Pinnacle of Motorsport, not even close.
In terms of raw speed, F1 is the pinnacle of circuit racing.
Callum Murtagh Yeah, But the sport is going more and more backwards.
In terms of raw boredom, it certainly is the pinnacle of circuit racing.
If Nigel had the backing from young that Hamilton has had he would have had more wins than anyone he was a true working class hero sold his car n house n anything he could to fund himself legend
I forgot that he injured himself in that Pheonix race. Kudos, great memories. I know that he did not have the greatest time at Ferrari but Nigel will forever be Il Leone.
All your races had me on the edge of my seat. You were my favorite person. You were my favorite driver and made me happy.
Great days . . . . what memories
Interestingly, this was the only season with THREE ex-Chapman drivers all racing at the same time. Nigel, Emerson and Mario all worked for Lotus at some point in their careers. I wonder what were the odds of this happening...
And Paul Newman...good times...different people with something special in appearance and work.
Even though he didn’t win championship until 95 and the F1 Championship in 97... you had Jacques Villeneuve racing alongside those 3 in 94 as well. All 4 are still the only drivers to ever win the F1 Championship and the IndyCar Championship 🏁
F1 2021-2022... Fernando Alonso, Sebastián Vettel, Louis Hamilton ando max verstsppen...four champions at samw time
What a season that was 1993
Nigel Mansell had such a touch with a racecar that it showed in 1993 that a so called "rookie" if you could really call him that showed just what a great race driver he was CART Indycar's are totally different than F1 his skills showed what kind of a racer he was and it wasn't that Indy cars are easy as the F1 people loved to talk about. He is a true champion through and through that 1993 season will never be forgotten in CART Indcar history.
+Timothy Antosy Jr They're not "totally different". They're both open-wheel racing cars that have some significant technical differences...it's not like one was a spaceship and the other one a camel. Jesus.
I was ten years old at the start of the 93 season and couldn't get my head wrapped around the fact that people kept calling him a rookie and he was old. That was my favorite season watching indy. I loved it before then but I was absolutely smitten with it during that season. And the lola t93/00 is still an amazing looker after all these years!
+Timothy Antosy Jr The Indycars from 1993 was very much alike the F1 from the mid 80's. Allthough the F1 cars were WAY more difficult to drive. They both had manual gearing, no electronics to talk about. However the F1 had over 1000 bhp in Q trim. This, obviously, was the reason for why he could get comfortable so quickly.
Tim, Tim. Tim. I bet your a killer. Anyway Mansells feat was not so great. He goes to the car that won the last two titles. MARIO Andretti at 50 was on the podium with him. Now Jaqcue Villenueve was much more impressive 3 years later. Won Indy. Won the Indy 500 (Mansell never did] But he's a kid going against Shumy and Ferrari. Wins the first race. Qualifies Hill consistently, never had driven on most of the tracks, won the title. Showed formula one guys how it was done. Right?
Really entertaining video - it seems that Nigel stole the spotlight at a time when Senna was mesmerizing audiences with his heroics in an underpowered McLaren Ford.
A must for Mansell fans, Nigel just destroyed them on the ovals!
Mr18000rpm Yep, people said he would dominate the streets and struggle on the Oval yet I think he won 4 Oval to only 1 street race.
Oval Racing back then was about who had the power. Newman Haus were always the oval kings for the last 3 years they couldnt be touched. Back then cars were not so even. The Newman Haus would lap some of the cars 4 or 5 times. Micheal Andretti has the record for the most laps led and victories on ovals, and he had the Andretti curse.
Mansel is an overrated driver, did he ever win monaco?
So Awesome! I loved those two years! It was my dream come true!
His years at Ferrari are still my favorite.
+Treetop64 not his
Amazing. Nigel showed his outstanding skills again by winning the unfamiliar IndyCar championship. He suffered a severe accident on the Phoenix oval track but then recovered and won the title in an impressive way. He looked very good in his 1st Indy 500, leading just some laps before the end of the race, but a restart cost him the victory and therefore he came "only" 3rd. Really not bad from a rookie.
Look at everyone in the stands at all these races. This was before CART-IRL had their spat and drove all the fans to NASCAR
Riding Dolphins, receiving a honourary doctorate, shooting guns...is there anything Nigel Mansell can't do? :D
+Ferrarist not sound bored when he's talking.. sends you to sleep with that half brummie half IOM accent, thank god he wasn't a commentator.
Man, Indycars were beautiful back then.
My hero...These were good times for the fans.
good old times, lovely
I miss team Newman/Haas.
Absolute legend
A Legend.
Red 5 forever :)
wins his 1st ever indycar race
puts a hole in the wall at the next race and misses races
wins the championship at the 1st attempt anyway!
Don't forget he rode that dolphin first attempt too.
People over the pond don't much like talking about the next 2 years. Andretti came back to Indy from F1, of course his car was taken by Mansell. So he drives the Target car that was a slower car...but Andretti beats him 1st race in Australia. Mansell only won a few races the next to years.. Villenueve went From INDY to F1 and won 1st race. Whats the difference? He was 23 years old and racing against Shumacher. And still won the title.
vin russo You mean he won title with dominant Williams f1 car?
So i guess you don't think Mansell's F1 champianship counts either?
In fact Mansell did not won one single race 1994 when Michael Andretti was back. Drivers like Michael Andretti, Montoya, Tracy and Al jr were awesome to follow and watch. Mansell? not so much. On the ovals he had huge help from Mario Andretti.
Thank you for posting!
Nigel my favorite driver….
Probably one of the greatest if not bravest overtaking manoeuvres in F1. Every time I see it it makes the hair on my skin stand up.
Bobby which 1?
The one where he goes around Berger in his Ferrari.
i know the 1!, i think it was mexico. he went round the outside on a dirty bumpy dangerous corner on knackered tyres at 190 mph+!!! it was unbelievable
At the time, thought Mansell was going to go straight on for the barriers.
Yeah, stopped watching F1 since Aryton Senna's death and decided to revisit old archives of Mansell et al. I've watched clips of modern Grand Prix cars and was horrified how slow, heavy and cumbersome they all appeared with all these driver aids.
Guess I miss all the hustle and bustle in the pits, the marks and sparks, the kart-like cars and real personalities and characters- Mansell, Prost, Piquet, Senna, Berger etc.
"His new jet was capable of transatlantic flight, non-stop". Haha
What a great team! And great year!
no way, a GT4 safety car! nice ha
i think i had this on VHS brings back memorys this does
Fantastic Nigel
a great era for indy cars
12:24 this motherf*cker can drive dolphins too?
This video shows how deep the Haas roots are in racing. I think they should be commended for having teams in both series.
Sorry, just checked things out. Carl Haas is one of the owners of the team in the video. Gene Haas is the F1 Team owner. Although Carl Haas had an F1 team as well. Along with Gene Haas' F1 team, he owns a Sprint Cup (NASCAR) along side Tony Stewart.
legend
Nigel Fantastic.
Weird that USAC wouldn't let them use any Indy 500 footage.....At any rate, thanks for posting.
Randall Dubin because they hated foreign and CART drivers at IMS. Along with Tony George. One of many stupid reasons why he created the IRL. However things are changing somewhat with NASCAR in decline and INDYCAR on a little upswing somewhat.
Probably came down to wanting too much money for the footage.
Not bad for a Brummie...
Pretty spectacular if you consider he's a Brummie.
+Yoda on DMT my screenname has instructions on what to do next
yep i have a old f1 programme funny says Nigel Mansell - Hall Green , Hall Green seems to have a lot of famous people Jrr tolkien tony Hancock amongst others for a little place in Birmingham
One of the bravest, most determined men ever. Wow, he made those yankee drivers look like amateurs!
I had some videos ripped from 1992 of Nigels year however it was blocked by F1M.
"Almost forgot the wholemeal"
LOL Oh fuck...
Thanks for the video! Hey it says in the credits John O'Hara & Steve Duberry did the soundtrack but I lost count how many years I looked for this music. Can you (anyone?) please help us finally track it down, cheers!
18:11 bravo sir, bravo.
At this stage Mansell thought he was not going to be overtaken in the British F1 record books but as of 2020 Lewis Hamilton is pulling away from Mansell in Race wins, Pole Positions and Race starts
How do you grow that mustache? I want to learn.
Drive 200+ mph for an extended periods. Time will slow relatively and allow more time for the mustache to cultivate.
It's genetics.
39:22 'Like the legend of the Phoenix, all ends with beginnings, what keeps the planets spinning, the force from the beginning'
Look at that 'Tache - a design classic that gives so much downforce - Did they not ban them in 1995?
Madonna sponsored this videa xD
champcar
I was at midd-Ohio
19:06 Pit Nigel Pit
anyone know the song at the very start and also if there is a copy of Mansell 85-92 greatest gp victories anywhere?
thanks
i'd like to know what it is too
14:24 - no its not a simple lay-out dude, its a strange shape so the corners aint equal. Its a pain to setup for if i remember right.
And Nige, you are such a drama queen!! (I dont say that as a negative thing), most of my first f1 and motorsport memories are of Nigel; following Senna at Monaco '92, losing a tyre and the '86 drivers title, hitting the bridge HARD in the Toca shoot-out, collapsing in Dallas, that wonderful press conference with Senna talking bout Prost! (I could continue for a loonnnnggggg time!).
Hope everyones well an good :)
It seems incredible now that F1 to Indycar was considered a lateral move back then.
Because back then it wasn't single make B.S.
the cars were quite similar in many ways power and downforce wise - then F1 went to grooved tyre rubbish and the crossover was dead
Not really. The crossover was dead when the IRL was formed in 1996.
That is indeed true. The split was one of the worst things ever to happen to American sports.
It's still a good move that Mr. Alonso might be making soon too...
To any Nigel haters out there, do you recall the Havoline oil commercials when Andretti said some thing like "Just follow me." Sorry, Mario, you are air-dried prosciutto.
what nigel explains at 25:51 is basically how senna died
huh i didnt realise my third cosin was so popular
3:01 - penile reflex test.
1992
Mansell was world championship in 1992 on Williams, not in 1993
Alessandro Sgueglia Indycar World Champion in 1993, F1 in 1992…
+Alessandro Sgueglia This is Indycar 1993
Nigel Mansell also known as Tom Selleck
Name of the song at 39:22 please???
i just want to say, american do you know that you have seen nothing about the greate nigel the lion mansell, mansell did his best moves and crazy skills in FORMULA 1
Name of the song that starts at 4:50 please????
Electronic fart beat .
Just dawned on me.. Newman - "Haas" Racing... Isn't this interesting?
Not the same Haas
Senna is the really best driver in the world not only the fastest .
+Al Harbi Schumacher was 50 wins and 4 championships better than Senna!
world?
I have a model of his car
World? 😅 Ilike both Indy Car and F1 but I know the Indy Car champion isn't the world champion.
This is the big difference between Americans and Euro's. When Euro's come over to play golf tennis, Motorsports or even the Rugby guy trying to make the NFL American's are excited, and back the guys up. Europeans on the other hand, are jealous and everything is a competition with the States. Most Americans have no idea.I remember when Andretti came and drove for Mclaren, with Senna and Hakkannin. Andretti wasn't able to get in hardly any practice time. And Euro's as usual showed their hate again. Is it any wonder why Americans can't stand the poor horrible life of Europe? The people are worse. Scum.
+vin russo
The people are not as ignorant as some Americans.
Andretti was not very good. Senna was much quicker and Hakkinnen who had little experience in F1, he replaced Andretti was able to compete with Senna.
In 13 races Andretti could only qualify in the middle of the field, his best start position being 5th, Hakkinen out qualified Senna in his first race for McLaren.
Even Mansell who was only an average F1 driver, he went and showed how to drive an Indy car.
Michael joined F1 when it was far more technologically advanced than IndyCar which he was not used to. Plus he never made the effort to learn more about the car & fix his weaknesses. Heck, he never even made the effort to be closer to the team by staying in Europe the way Mansell did by staying in Florida, and with the majority of the races back then centering around Europe, Michael wasted too much time commuting from the US.
Michael thought he can just jump into an F1 car and be good just like his old man but didn't realize that F1 has changed since the last time Mario was on the grid so what worked back then didn't work in the present.
When he came back to Indy, to a team not nearly as good as Newman Haus, adn first race Micheal beats him. Second race Micheal once again finishes ahead of him, Penske won. But like Mansell can do, whine Micheal's being mean to me. He's overtaking me aggressively. Yet the US public still liked him. Of course he drove in Micheals car, the same one that won 3 years in a row. Andretti, championship car.
That is so arrogant Brit for you. I lived over there for years. Ive beaten many a Brit believe me. Oh how I wish you would call me ignorant out of your little safety zone of stuffy Muslim ridden Britain. They lied to Micheal from the start. You know as well as I, they didnt get the Renault engine that was in Andretti contract.. Mclaren was the most difficult car to drive. But of course they lied again. He split lap times with Hakkinnen, who became pretty good huh? If your fast your fast.People seem to forget when Micheal came back over Mannsell never won again. But of course lets not talk about that. It was Penske's turn.
1992 F1 World Champion against the best in the world, then over to the USA for the Indy Car Championship and pissed it being the 1993 Champion as a rookie, but then again that would not be too hard considering that the Yanks cannot drive anyway, none the less good on Nigel on whooping the big mouthed Yanks................
+David Lyon
He did well at Indy but he had the best F1 car in 1992 and no Prost so not really up against the best.
And he followed up with a disastrous championship defense attempt in 1994. Of course I wouldn't use that in any way to diminish his 1993 season or the british with my big mouth. :)
"World" lol
What world championship? F1 is the world championship, IndyCar is just some North-American race series
That proved that even a mediocre F1 driver like mansell (only won 92 championship cause his car was 2sec faster than the rest of the grid) could destroy any competition in FIndy. A place for old/retired or poor skilled drivers.
indy? bollox
Ugh could've had a second F1 title which is waaaaaay more important than 20 gay Indycar titles combined. Guess that 10 million cash felt good sniffing through his moustache
Mansell had a habit of losing to his team mates, de Angelis at Lotus, Piquet at Williams and Prost at Ferrari.
Mansell was lucky in a way to get into strong teams but I do not rate him as a top F1 driver. I would rate Damon Hill as a better driver.
