2014 NASCAR vs GARAGE 56 | Le Mans Without Chicanes

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

One of these two cars has to replace the current NASCAR car. Which one do you choose?

[@MrJohansen]

Id go with 2014 - i feel like the effect of dirty air would just be too bad with the G56 car because of all its aero, especially on the high speed ovals where dirty air is already a big problem Also because 900hp is just awesome, it was so cool back when they were going almost 230mph at michigan

[@lsp6032]

​@MrJohansen imagine cars that powerful running down the COTA(challenging for even gen 7) or even road courses that are popping up, or even vegas if the championship is changed to the same weekend as f1 vegas gp(6.2km Street circuit) and several of those cars are charging down the strip backstretch with really long braking zone for the chicane like left turn, that would be a sight to behold, especially since the drivers will have to wrestle the car with less downforce around the vegas gp track like they will perform at COTA, and much louder than f1 cars currently with NA v8 vs turbo hybrid v6

[@sprinkle581]

2014. Easily. Produced some of the best racing Nascar has seen.

They actually tried something similar back in the late 80s, i believe 1989. It was called the NASCAR LR Series but it was unfortunately cancelled before it began. It had purpose built road course cars that were noticeably different from the oval cars, but still similar. They wouldve only ran on road courses iirc

[@8jof544]

Fun fact: a 600 mile race in Le Mans could have 71 laps

The 2014 cup package was so good

[@Mr_Turbo_Lover]

I wish they never xhanged that package and kept it on the next gen

[@denimpantz]

Everyone says that, yet they literally had the same amount of downforce as the 550 package. The 2014 package suffered the same issues as the 550 with aero washing and the rear air bubble that would push the cars away from each other. The only difference was the power which made the cars more difficult to drive (on short tracks and road courses to be exact)

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@Mr_Turbo_LoverNASCAR never care and they detuned the car on GEN 7, dropping 39 percent of the bhp on Gen 7 car.

[@boobsball]

​@DaCopter94 it was still solid on intermediates. Biggest problem was that a few tracks had fresher pavement at the time that offered one grove and extremely high cornering speeds. And the the high horsepower would give the drivers an alternative technique to mitigate the effects of dirty air push. Races like chicagoland, Texas, charlotte, homestead, and auto club were bangers in 2014

The 2014 NASCAR is powerful on the straights while the Garage 56 is powerful on the turns

[@purwantiallan5089]

Garage 56 has racing super soft tyres too.

[@MitchellGOP]

Weight differential matters too, especially for heavy braking events. 2014 NASCAR a few hundred pounds heavier + more straight-line speed = it’s a bus in slow-medium corners. Garage 56 much lighter overall and was better balanced for the range of corners than 2014 car could have.

[@ryanwilson5301]

[@killED122]

The garage 56 car was also most likely detuned to ensure it would survive 24 hours

[@mr.speed..6368]

I will always miss 2014 as season for the fact alone we had 950hp

[@purwantiallan5089]

And also has almost the same bhp as Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak and 1998 Escudo Dirt Trial Car.

[@Jdog2201]

As soon as I seen the first gap G56 had, my instant thought was that unless the nascar could gain a 5 sec gap back by the end where G56 was going to be faster then it was all over

[@ericbrenner690]

Possible to put the 2014 engine in the G56 & see what it does? One other thing. I don't remember the 2014 cars hitting 11K on the tach. Even 10 for that matter...

[@sdickinson64]

An actual Nascar will never touch the garage56 car. Test it against a GTE car. The garage56 car was faster. The difference would be significantly more similar to comparing a GTE to an lmp2 with 10+ second lap time differences.

[@miketwotwenty]

Why does the garage 56 sound so muffled it should sound just like the gen 6 car!

[@Roadhouse1997]

No they have different exhaust setups. The gen 6 used x pipes and exited out the right side and turned alot more rpm than gen 7 and the g56 cars. Gen 7 has an exit out both sides, and the g56 turned like only 7k rpm to improve the endurance

[@sprinkle581]

Gen 7 (NextGen) sounds significantly different to Gen 6. Exhaust setups and all, as the other guy stated.

[@miketwotwenty]

@@sprinkle581 yeah but the side exhaust on gen 7 makes it sound louder Kyle Larson and some other drivers said the gen 7 car is louder!

[@v8ramair145]

Love your videos, always great. Question about the 2014 specs on the sim - in Michigan, testing trim, they hit 215 (earnhardt) to 220 (biffle) on the straights. J Johnson hit 214 in race trim with nobody in front of him. Wonder why the top speed on the 3.7 mile stretch is only 217? Maybe the setup?

[@rileymaenhout1732]

Right. Considering a Gen 4 went 240 unrestricted at talladega. Not sure if it's set up or what, but that cup car should have had a 5 second lead by the end of the Mulsane straight.

[@v8ramair145]

@rileymaenhout1732 agree. In my opinion, 230 + on this straight wouldn't be unreasonable. 240 might be possible depending how much downforce/drag in the setup. Brad K's dad hit 271+ mph in the salt flats with a COT generation car and a few aero mods. So it goes to show the huge potential of these cars. The only thing I could imagine as a problem is the limitation of 4 gears, so 4th would have to be very tall to hit 240, that it would slow down acceleration, or the setup put a shorter 4th to be able to use 4th in other straightaways.

[@matthewnowell671]

I would love for nascar to be a regular entrant at Le Mans every year.

[@cobyspaceman]

1:45 pretend that the Garage 56 is Wile E. is chasing the 2014 nascar as the Road Runner.

[@carmonajr18]

Big blue(Garage 56) made the pass on the Porsche curve look easy. Side that, from what I was able search up, based off of Big Blue’s fastest qualifying lap at Le Mans, Big Blue is as fast as a 2000 era GT1 car.

[@madmax2069]

And in the race if the G56 got into the draft of the faster car it would basically be parked behind faster car until they came up to a corner.

[@thechannelimashamedof2361]

Northstar LMP vs Opel Vectra DTM vs a 2000ish Indy Car with the Oldsmobile engine, all used variants of the same Olds/Cadillac 4 litre V8 engine. A lap time comparison at Spa could be fun.

First off, that gen 6 was reving close to 1100 rpms. Anything over 9000 for that era with the restricted horsepower would blow up.

Despite two valves per cylinder and pushrods, they still made about the same BMEP as NA F1 engines. Pretty incredible. There’s a SAE paper out there on it. Really there’s barely 20years difference in time between OHC and OHV.

[@Maverick9k]

My man, the Dodge Gen 3 Hemi, like what's in modern Challengers and Chargers use push rods. Even Chevy used push rods in the camaro and corvette till the C8 corvette ZO6 The Garage 56 Camaro still uses Push Rods since it's the current Gen 7 nascar engine. Nothing primitive about it. Especially if it gets the job done. When the last time someone called an 1911 a primitive weapon?

[@MrAnimefox]

So, the stock Nascar could have won?

[@shawnfrey4757]

The garage 56 car was limited on HP by the FIA. If they didn't, it would have won the overall race, if there were no mechanical issues. They didn't want it to be faster than the hypercars.
