24 Heures du Mans 2021 - Bentley Speed 8 onboard

[@craigpurdie3528]

STILL TODAY...one of the most elegant - looking racing machines....EVER.

[@simopics]

Speed 8 is back at Le Mans! I saw this car during Monza Historic in 2019 and had a little chat with a team member. One of the best experience of my life 🙌🏼 And the car is absolutely beautiful

[@manueljgomez2667]

Yes for the Endurance Racing Legends!!!! Amazing

[@dmcharlestt4945]

Superb! Thank you got the telemetry. I wish this was included in more onboards !

[@peterautoracing]

👍 Thank you to the team!

[@paulbyrne04]

I have always loved the Bentley Speed 8. Stunning looking machine.

[@viniciusdelima8192]

Never saw a shot from onboard cameras on Speed 8. Nice one.

[@andrewharper4296]

Great onboard video. Thanks for the upload. I just want to comment on the bit about lap times, he’s not pushing enough, braking hard enough, etc. some of these cars are now worth huge amounts of money. Spare parts would all have to be remade from scratch and at a huge cost. The drivers cannot afford to damage these things. However I was seriously impressed with how hard some of these guys were racing in the other video. The Bentley is probably worth millions now so huge kudos that it’s still allowed to race. With regards to lap time. The cars are not always being driven by professional race drivers. Sometimes owner drivers, sometimes wealthy owners who run the cars for fun. However to be about 10 seconds off what this car did in period is very impressive. He was pushing hard and most of us would be exhausted after a few laps in this thing. Agreed most of the lap difference is probably in braking though, also I think the car topped 200+in period so they may be running more downforce to make the car more stable. Great field, great racing. Thanks again.

ngl this is really my favorite LMP car.

[@carlosmartos7009]

Fantastic and thank you for the VBOX data display.

[@Jason-ld5fn]

What a beautiful race car

[@rainiernqc]

Such a fantastic onboard. Thank you!

[@ledemeu8007]

Magnifique onboard

[@jeanmarclevy9413]

simracing virtual reality with this car and Vrc mod on Assetto corsa game is a must to drive specially sound engine

[@SoCalFreelance]

Routinely pulling over 2+ g's is a reminder of how much more capable a no kidding race car is over a supercar designed for the road.

[@geezer4962]

The Bentley Boys are back!

[@luisalbertososa832]

Go go go Bentley, great cars!!!!

[@Nikk8706]

Great Footage! 😍

[@miguelangelquintanacordero6738]

Estuve en el museo de le mans lastima que no dejaban entrar a las gradas había entrenamientos de motos pero el museo genial tiene una buena colección de coches

[@percevallegallois2270]

I love this sound

[@AlanpittsS2b]

Such an awesome machine

[@damongp]

love this car😍

[@bretnickerson8555]

man this was a great video! gotta watch it againA

[@matrix.thedarknightrises2296]

The driver was driving about 70-80% of the Bentley Speed ​​8's capabilities. This can be seen from his driving. You know why, because if he was going faster, he could seriously crash into the gang

[@shiroamada1650]

Nice telemetry. Hope to see on live stream during the race 😍

[@michaelh.9866]

Thank you.

[@THE_Michael_Westen]

The telemetry is phantastic. I find it especially interesting the driver is only applying about 50 % brake pressure and even that for just a short amount of time. It makes sense to apply the highest amount at the highest speed and than releasing the brakes as the car slows down as it reduces the risk of the wheels locking up. Does the car have ABS ? But it still surprises me he never gets over 50-55 %. In general, would you brake different with an ABS car compared to non-ABS ? I know you can brake into a corner which suggest more progressive breaking.

[@fingerprints2983]

It is done to preserve the brakes, during 24h of Le Mans, brakes needs to be changed one time, during qualifying brakes are being used fully.

[@juanj.3549]

Bravo.

[@jpracing9753]

thanks so much

[@DADDYsHomeHomeformeeeee]

The car is still perfect. I think they keep the v8.

[@McGratha_tube]

What a monster

[@velocidadeemdetalhes]

Sensacional

[@flowgm17]

Oh ! Is that a Supra !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mavericvinaleclirycF35V]

Why the onboard only shows 6 gear speed 🤨🤔?

[@piotrwojciechowski5846]

1:25 is that a supra!?

[@willknowler8194]

Yes

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Oh yeah

[@Trillogical]

Wait wait. Is THE speed 8 back at Le Mans??

[@6lemans10]

Hard to believe. I'm getting old.🧓 I watched this car bring the privateer Audi's to their knees, back in the 2003 Le Mans 24 Hours. I was a Junior in High School

[@thelarry383]

@@6lemans10 this car was just a rebodied Audi

[@6lemans10]

@@thelarry383 I know. Plus, Team Joest mechanics worked on the car.

[@bartstockschen1987]

@@thelarry383 No it wasn't. It was a completely newly designed car. The only audi thing about this car was the engine, the rest was all own design. Yes they did incorporate design features from the R8C, but according to the lead engineer that was only some minor aerodinamic features they took from the R8C's design plans and implemented into their own car. Apart from the engine and gearbox not a single piece from the Bentley was the same as the Audi. It's just an urban myth because the first version of the Bentley looked so much alike the R8C.

速い！！

[@375GTB]

AMAZING that TODAY'S GT/LM Pro GT cars can match this c.20 year old LMP-1..... J,C.

[@ajrf92]

Taking into account that this is an historic race and drivers have to be careful with the cars, it's not strange that they sandbag.

[@РондВидар]

Sorry, what doing this old car at le man 2021?

[@peterautoracing]

This race took place in the morning, before the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It's part of a vintage car championship, the Racing Legends endurance by Peter Auto.

[@РондВидар]

@@peterautoracing oh understood.. preRace?? Exhibit raritet old cars? Very interesting

[@peterautoracing]

Yes exactly.

[@abardet-arc5009]

damn, 3.47, that's what the GTEs nowadays do...

[@6lemans10]

The Bentleys Pole time was 3'32"843 set by Tom Kristensen in the number 7 car during the 2003 Le Mans 24 Hours.

[@2K-Tan]

No point in crashing a legendary race car that won't even be competing, This was more for show than anything else.

[@6lemans10]

@@2K-Tan True.

[@andrewharper4296]

@@2K-Tan I agree with you but damn they were racing hard in the 2nd race. 😂 I think he got down to a 3m 41s in the second race so for an enthusiast driver he did very well. Most of us would crash on lap one. 😆

[@bovalveyt]

@@6lemans10 i was wondering why he was shifting early into the final gear, only at 6k revs, dont wanna overrev the engine, smart man

[@Andromahlius]

That car somehow gets to the Leroy Merlin much faster than my Opel Meriva. Wonder why.

[@miguelangelquintanacordero6738]

Recomendado eso si le entrada al museo es un poco salado

[@miguelangelquintanacordero6738]

Recomendo que se queden en un hotel barato y cojan un folleto y hay un pequeño descuento aprovechen como lo hice yo

[@germanenglishengineer2054]

Man all they have to do is take the paint scheme and change from green to silver, red and black and this car would look like a slower version of the R18 etron Quattro.

[@germanenglishengineer2054]

2016 maybe

[@JeskoALT]

​@@germanenglishengineer2054Not just 2016. Every variant if the r18 would destroy it. No doubt.

[@jessekleidon9503]

Wow, to think the current GTEs are as quick as this thing.

[@ruzgarakgul2051]

That’s because classic cars are ran in ultra safe mode and driven especially safely to prevent them from breaking down. Remember this car is 20 years old now

[@motorsportfan1246]

They ruined the Porsche curves

[@jean-claudeloetitia529]

Cool lap, 3.47, it’s a GTE time…🙁

[@2K-Tan]

.... The pole for this car was a 3:32:84 set by Tom Kristensen in the 2003 24 Hours Of Lemans, They aren't going to push an old priceless racecar to the absolute limit and risk crashing it.. They are just taking it out so that some of the younger fans have a chance to see some Lemans history.. Then there's people like you complaining that a nearly 20 yo racecar is setting an identical lap to brand new racecars, even though the Bentley isn't even close to full push.. Just enjoy the fact that you got to see this car lap Lemans onboard IRL instead of just a video game.. Some people are never happy smh. Dumb comment.

[@Zzennobi]

Slow as f...

[@tonyglandinepourvosgencive8994]

C'est un châssis et moteur AUDI 😂 Et oui...pour tous ceux qui ne le savait pas😮
