God awful commentator

One of my all time favorite race cars.

Nothing looks more f stupid than 18 inch rims and low profile tires. The "modern" look. Everything on the car is visually original except for the rims and tires. So stupis. Same for the Cobra. Actually, any classic 60s/70s muscle car. Take the original rim and stretch it to 18-20 inches. The guys who do this should have their cars seized and they should be forced to drive restored Yugos for the rest of their lives. Yugos with 18in clown shoes.

289-427 cubic inches.

The wide body with the huge Porsche 917 like rear wheels are a must.

The #6 Mark I Gulf car is as good as it gets.

The flat 12 engine in 917's were actually (2) flat 6's bolted together. Porsche already had successful flat 6 engines. By putting (2) shorter 6's together, engine didn't suffer from a long crankshaft or camshafts typical on 12 cylinder engines. in center where engines met, there were gears that transferred power to the trans-axle. It also turned a large fan used to air-cool flat engine. After Porsche worked development problems out, cars dominated every endurance race. So successful it was eventually banned from racing.

What a terrible video, poorly edited showing the wrong cars and events not matching the audio. Incorrect Audi names and facts.

Flub in title and narrative: the reigning Le Mans champs pre 917 were Ford. There's much sloppiness on dates of development 1969 vs 1970 and later plus mismatch of narrative and video.

I absolutely love this car

It's Not Max it's Red Bull

Hair wash thing was a little weird but Charles is cool

HE was 17 when he started in F1 get your facts straight before misreporting 🤣 159 subs lol what a LOSER channel this is isn't it!

Max isn’t ruining F1 the FIA is.

I was lucky enough to see this car in action when I was 12. My dad took me to Daytona, Sebring and Road Atlanta in the '70s. Although I favored the 512, I liked the 917 which was very squirrely on the back stretch at Sebring. Also I saw my first boobies . Some girl was dancing on top of a Uhaul at Sebring,

The seating looked as brutal as the rest of the car... Lol... The twin tailed version looked like a fighter jet taking off! Thanks for sharing!

the 963 is not like that at al, and is the susesor of the 962 le mans winer car

Max beating Lewis in a slower car in 21 just proves he is a much better driver.

he is not ruining. He is making history. and we want see him break all records

Did Hamilton and Mercedes also ruined formula 1..?

I had a Porsche 917 K Superkings Matchbox Die Cast Toycar

Wunderbar i love the 917 Porsche

in 2021 you don't count points earned, you count points lost through no-fault incidents

Better than some 917 videos on KZbin, but too many inaccuracies.

It's not up to RB & Max ...it's the rest of the teams with less techn. and driving skills, who ruined the F1 ..👀

Every major road race in the world has been won by some type of 917 at least once

met a chap at the Goodwood Festival who had bought one direct from Porsche, explained how they wiped the snow off each to identify them, he bought a Rodriguez car if I recall, incredible - you can't do that with the 919. 917 held the distance covered @ Le Mans until the Group 3 era, some 2 decades. Nothing else comes close. Can Am? ended it.

It was NOT the 917-30 that ended CanAm. I'm baffled to see how many people insist in saying this nonesense. CanAm ended because the series biggest sponsor, Johnson Wax, pulled the plug.

and Lewis he won 7 times was that not Boring!!!!!!! Max is racing and decerve to win!

I remember seeing the 917/30 at Watkins Glen. It seemed to devour the track like a giant Hoover

I enjoyed this video very much, but there is a general lack of coordination between the file footage being shown and the narration. The 917/30 was in blue and yellow Sunoco livery. The 917/10 was in red and white L&M livery. And you show a 4-cylinder Speedster engine when talking about a flat-12…

I just don’t get why the 917 doesn’t get more love. When I was a model building kid in the late 70s through the 90s I could not find a 1/24 scale model to build to save my life. I haven’t looked lately but I do see that they make some really good pre built ones. When Ford came out with the GT in 05 I thought how cool it would be for Porsche to update it and release it for the streets. The 963 would be nice in a streetable version. But you have to name it 917!

What is the alternative? That the FIA creates a special "Formula Max" league where only Verstappen is competing?

You're joking right? Ever hear of Michael Schumacher? Lewis Hamilton ring a bell? Crawl back under the rock from where you came.

This documentary would have been better with some more sound clips of the different versions of this car.

The power of this car is scary. I love to drive this car around the historic SPA circuit in Assetto Corsa. For this, you need some balls. Can't imagine the feeling in real life.

Max is 3 time wdc in ever changin rules n regs n stupid penalties...Yet YOU took this? away from that???? I am so sad for you

The L&M car is a 917/10...

He's just a better driver with a better car.

Bad losers, the English fans.

Jack S, you get a non-watch and automatic down vote for you're stupid title! I'm upgrading that to a "do not recommend channel for the explosion in the title card, hope it was worth it

Some much detail that has either been skipped over or neglected.

uhm how about the 8 years of mercs???

You are ruining the internet I think!!

No, he’s had his day there.

The most badass car ever.

What a pro Hamilton perspective ... lol
