FIA rule changes that year downshifted sportscar engine capacity from 5.0 to 3.0l, effectively forcing Porsche's withdrawal; the fact that Scuderia Ferrari HP had been honing their 3.0l 312PB for some time was completely coincidental, no need to speculate on this ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

Reliability concerns shortened the headline race to just six hours, the weekend instead being billed as "three great races in 24 hours". ๐Ÿคจ Despite losing a cylinder early on, the dream team of Mario Andretti and Jacky Ickx kept going while others faltered to take the unusual win! ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿฅต in 1980: The Argentine Grand Prix's fierce heat, a botched resurfacing and immense ground effect grip tore up the Autรณdromo de Buenos Aires Oscar y Juan Gรกlvez track; while most drivers agreed it wasn't raceable, a boycott was avoided - and the cars paid for it, with many suffering blown engines and broken suspension, including a tearful Carlos Reutemann and a rallycrossing Gilles Villeneuve. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

The attrition did help future four-time champ Alain Prost to a point on debut, however! โ˜๏ธ

25 years ago , while testing for the impending 2000 IRL season, Sam Schmidt crashed heavily at Walt Disney World Speedway, the rearwards impact paralysing him. Inspired by his father's tenacious recovery from a similarly devastating crash and empowered by the work of paralysed actor Christopher Reeve, Schmidt engaged in intense physical therapy and surgery; in a few months, he was off the ventilators doctors told him he would use for the rest of his life. ๐Ÿ’ช

Over the last quarter of a century, Schmidt has immersed himself in racing, forming his own team and winning in both Indy Lights and , and founding Conquer Paralysis Now , which last year opened a state-of-the-art rehab centre in Indianapolis. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆผโ€โžก๏ธ
