Sauber c9 was peak

[@TDR_MrT17]

1989 was the scariest by far, last year without the chicanes the cars were very evolved, incredibly fast (the fastest they have ever been on this track) I really don’t know how they got away with any serious accidents that year, it’s a miracle. This is the peak of Group C racing!

[@lebagnard6018]

With the use of downforce top speed is less of an issue. Downforce is also a safety device that makes the car easier to drive.

[@strammerdetlef]

@@lebagnard6018 the cars are setup for less downforce in le mans bc of exactly that, top speed

[@Whyteeford]

These BRUTALLY powerful cars going 250mph must have been quite a sight to witness back then

[@garyrowe58]

They were amazing ... add in the rumbling Nimrod and the screaming Mazdas, it's a total assault!

[@westboundbadger]

It was !

[@thethirdman225]

Why ‘BRUTALLY’? The bit where they reached top speed was inaccessible to spectators anyway.

1:23 - you will never convince me that full EV racing in any class would ever compare to that sound....long live the V8s!!!

[@ShoxieIn1080p]

only 2 models that u can hear exaclty, Sauber C9 and Mazda 787b love that sounds

[@kustini2171]

In this race they use 767b

[@nicolasneri7738]

787b beat the sauber in 1991. this is 767. came 7th which was pretty good since the car didn't match jaguar, mercedes or porsche

[@tangerinedream7211]

Was there in period, great to have the distinctive sound of the cars, Mazda, Porsche, Jag, Merc. And all before the safety fences went everywhere in the 90s, ruining much of the spectating. Tickets purchased last Nov for this year's race, going over for 12 days to catch scrutineering, test day, practice, qually and the race, can't wait.

[@JuergenGDB]

some of the loudest and best years at Le Mans. But the 90's were great as well with McLaren, and the GT1 cars.

[@Whyteeford]

And just imagine, these cars are only about 100kg heavier than today's fat pig F1 cars. Man racing in every series across the board was much better in the 80-2000s. All downhill once we hit the 2010s

[@strammerdetlef]

[@gabrieleserini895]

I would like to see the full race

[@AuRennes.z2]

Can we please stop acting like tobacco advert liveries arent aesthetic as fuck? I think the world is at a consensus that the stuff is bad for you...

[@retardno002]

For real, tobacco liveries were some of the best. It's hard to think about racing without brands like Camel (Mansell), Marlboro (Senna, Schumi), Lucky Strike (Villeneuve, Button), or West (Hakkinen) coming to mind. Very effective advertising, still holds strong decades later.

[@Mad_Martigen]

9:14 The Peugeot WM P88. Fastest car in Le Mans history.💪

Tbh it only entered the race with the intention of reaching the 250mph mark.

[@Mad_Martigen]

@@woffelledYes. I know. The car didn't last long in the race.

[@Babarbar]

Pole Position - Mercedes Sauber C9 Fastest Lap - Jaguar XJR 9 LM Where is Peugeot? The fastest race car is the one that will complete the fastest lap, not the one with the fastest straight line speed. Especially if this car even shamefully failed to reach the finish line.

It was a formula that had reasonable costs with some technical freedom. Take your best road engine, tune it and put it in a 2 seater sports car chassis.

[@thethirdman225]

Don’t forget: it was a fuel allocation formula.

Whoever directed the coverage of this race must have been nearsighted it's like watching a movie through a straw

I saw the GTP race in Kansas in 89'...Geoff Brabham won that in the Nissan GTP turbo...the Jags were there as well as the Porsche 962...Similar to the sounds of this race but not nearly as cool 😎.

The level of pollution back then compared to today is insane. I wonder if they used leaded gasoline because it was common until end of the 80s. And also if 102 octane already was established? I'm 1988 born and got no clue
