The sound of the turbo spool... amazing

[@OhItsThat]

Just beautiful. The more I watch stuff like this, the less I care about modern race cars.

[@andrewiantorno6942]

I like all racecars, the modern sports prototypes are just as nutty, love all racecars. Then again, that's just me.

@@andrewiantorno6942 Lmao the modern cars can barely even reach 300km/h. These cars were more fun to watch.

[@andrewiantorno6942]

@@vinniehuish3987 Modern sports prototypes can reach close to 340KM, that's still fast. Again, I just like all racecars. Why is that such a problem to you? Like seriously...Has the toxic masculinity gotten so bad in the car community, that now I can't enjoy all racecars old or new, without some asshole laughing at me or making fun of me for it? Seriously man have a sense of honor...don't be a asshole.

Your comment should have 10,000 likes. I agree. Cars are so technical now that they don't even need drivers. Give me a car with a clutch and gear shifter. I love watching classic cars racing. I'm old enough to remember watching these cars and Cobras and E types and bird cage Maseratis on TV.

[@thethirdman225]

This is what Le Mans and Group C is about: maintaining a fast and relatively relaxed pace and the 956/962 was really, really good at it.

[@blackbirdsr71]

Great to see this 30 year old car running so smooth, fit and strong. And a driver who can push.

[@polariaosu]

We need WAY more high-quality cockpit onboards. This was divine.

[@leadfootrich2498]

Favorite onboard clip of all time. Pure bliss listening to that boost build

[@FarmYardGaming]

The way the world becomes a blur, and that sound! Probably time to fall into a week-long wormhole viewing videos of this monster

[@LauchEleven]

How this thing moves after passing the chicane, jeeesus.

[@user-xi9py8es1s]

That turbo flutter is insane

[@FlavioSpirit]

Bom dia !!!!! Absurdamente fantástico. Muito obrigado por nos levar de carona pra curtir essa velocidade incrível. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.......

[@BeselerSimRacing]

Fantastic!! Love the Turbo Giggle!!

[@FarmYardGaming]

2:43+ I live for the acceleration and upshifts here alone

[@TheUsmc0802]

That run down mulsane was interesting and exciting than anything else in the past two decades. Amazing, thank you for sharing.

[@pricklypear300]

If the car was sentient it would be telling stories to the driver how "back in my day" the Mulsanne straight used to be not parted into three short ones by the chicanes.

[@TheAslakVind]

The sound of that flat six and the waste gate!!

[@tadejstanta8710]

one of the most enjoyable car video to watch and listen

[@surrenderonceagain]

I love the blow off valve sound!

[@shumi_bimyo]

The shift indicator glows!!

[@chuckselvage3157]

Such an awesome car wow thanks for sharing this.

[@datrem4315]

Such a sweet handling machine!

[@eduardogtracerlm]

Que volta incrível

[@sircharles7323]

Ich weiß nicht genau warum, aber diese Art Rennautos waren immer die geilsten für mich. Das Charisma ist nicht zu überbieten. Auch wenn heute alles fortschrittlicher ist, es kommt heute bei mir vergleichsweise viel weniger Stimmung auf, als bei diesen Rennwagen.

[@-somedude]

2:44 *in jeremy clarkson voice* POWAHHHHH

[@RoryM22]

best sounding car ever.

[@pdebie1982]

The acceleration is mind boggling on this thing.

[@nagarenius]

Wow that driving of Andy Higgins is top notch. 4:21 just saved a crash there like it's nothing ^^

[@vishnusimba6136]

Seamlessly turns into porsche curves. Never seen a car hold that much speed there.

[@somebloke2238]

I found it. The best video.

[@yaboix4534]

Awesome video, awesome sounds, VERY awesome driver. I wonder how fast he was going on the straights, no doubt well over 200+

[@thethirdman225]

He was getting 8,100 rpm on the stretch between Mulsanne Corner and Indianapolis. That’s pretty close to as high as you want to go in that car.

[@bkkang4550]

The best race monster! Even some new car is not better than it!

[@XXX-cr5cf]

Pure old school monster!

[@roland2879]

The left door is badly closed and it's scary ...

[@TheMoldyMenace]

fucking miiiint 👌

[@stevebeckett3319]

its closed properly...the car is 32 years old...that's called a speed gap.

Holy shit that shifting sound is so nice haha

It was the HydroAluminium Car, right?

Dommage que l'écran "Motec" ne soit pas bien lisible j'aurais aimé avoir une idée de la longueur des rapports. Excellente video, merci du partage. Le Mans Classic doit être une expérience unique à vivre.

Look at that key ring you really can see the G forces.

[@Hunne2303]

you think it´s oval, but it really is just perfectly round :p

[@oliverengel6791]

Klasse :-)

[@dischargedarrowgetback4322]

It's a very fast course. Isn't it about 350km/h?

[@hansmatthia32]

Oh your driving that car

[@FlatlanderGear]

Almost perfect pedal work on this one.

[@garrettgramlich9424]

Fucking insane man buddy ur a fucking god behind the wheel

[@nrssaini]

that's how the car loves to be run

[@sentinel830]

Doesn’t the 962c have another gear or did they limit it to 4th gear to limit its top speed?

[@nigelb5370]

It has five gears. 1st is dog-leg left and back and isn't used once rolling.

[@americanpride9733]

I think the Prototype cars of today are safe enough to run without the chicanes

[@nicolasfigueiredo8464]

Yeah but FIA would never let them be faster than F1 cars, at least that the impression I have

[@americanpride9733]

Nicolas Figueiredo Top speed or around a track? Cause top speed , historically LMP cars have higher top speeds

[@nicolasfigueiredo8464]

@@americanpride9733 Both but especially top speed. And the today's F1 cars can reach more than 370 km/h in Monza, you can take the Charles Leclerc's pole as an example. The top speed a LMP1 car could reach 2019 was only 350 km/h. I also think that WEC should return to the Green Hell

[@americanpride9733]

Nicolas Figueiredo Its too dangerous for cars of that speed. And the LMP1 cars would change plenty if the chicanes were dropped, going for a much lower downforce setup/build

[@nicolasfigueiredo8464]

@@americanpride9733 Well, I think the the Porsche 919 Evo it's a good example in modern days of security and speed. I also don't see the sportcars return to setup with too much lower downforce since the average speed in corners count too much in a fast lap

[@fondfarewell2]

You mean left foot. Technically they still use their right hand to shift.

is it me or does he never get out of fourth grear

if the driver used more curb and committed to corners and certain sections of the track he would be substantially faster

You're an idiot.

[@thethirdman225]

It wasn’t. With a modded seat, the driver could stay in the car for double shifts. I’m not saying it didn’t get uncomfortable after a while but I think it was better than it seems.

Modern driver's, what is he doing with his right hand? I don't know why IMSA and the FIA don't make rules in such a way to brings these cars back.

[@thethirdman225]

Because they are no longer representative of what cars are today.

[@TheUsmc0802]

@@thethirdman225 so everyone was driving screaming flat 12s, V10s, and V8s from 1950-2010ish? That is a dumb argument for letting FIA and other sanctioning bodies selling out the sport.

[@thethirdman225]

@@TheUsmc0802 It's an even dumber argument to say that we should bring old technology back into cars that are supposed to be advancing it. To remain relevant, motor racing really needs to function as a test and development role or major manufacturers will simply not want to be involved. There's no money in it otherwise.

[@terenceskill9526]

RPM limit @ 7.000? LOL, they used to shift up at 8 and a half in the 80s. This race is just a catwalk...a beautiful one, nonetheless.

Yet a 919 would be over a minute faster.... Aero! If a 919 ran the 1967 era course It would run in a 2:15 lap Or better,, Over 200 mph AVERAGE for the 8 miles.. 160 back in 1970-1971.... Think about THAT! J.C.

[@TheUsmc0802]

Your not wrong but it's been done at a large expense which limited private teams from fielding them, they sound like crap, they were so expensive only 2 manufactures competed, they are boring to watch, and they killed the class. I'd rather have 10 962/956 on track than 2 porsche only 919s.

@@TheUsmc0802 Totally.
