IMSA GTP (Grand Touring Prototype) Championship Lime Rock Park - 1990

[@jonlamontagne]

I was here for this! This is my first racing memory and boy did it set that bug in me! I was just at the track TODAY with my kids! It was my Father's day gift and the first thing normal since well 2020 obviously. Cool memory from then, today, and all the times in between. Such a cool track to watch from you can literally walk the whole track and watch every turn, straight, and chicane 20 feet from the track at 75% of it. Really only the front stretch being the furthest from the track and you can view it from so many angles to make up for the distance.

They are having a Historic GTP race in Long Beach this April! I’m going to see it in person I’m hyped.

[@Kinggweeny]

Looks like no work for me tonight, gonna be watching GTP racing instead. Thanks 💙IMSA💙

[@Reiderreiter]

I miss this era so much. The Eagle MkIII and GTP ZX Turbo will always be my most iconic endurance racing prototypes.

[@gavkiwi]

IMSA YT channel, thank you for keeping these classic races coming, highlight of my week watching them.

[@AmbientMike]

Thank you for uploading these AWESOME historic races!

[@tommack8650]

Golden era of WSC racing. Nissan and Porsche w turbo 6 cyl, Toyota w turbo 4 cyl, Chevy V8, and Jaguar V12! All analog, no driver aids, pure racecars. Now racing in the Labor Day classic races.

[@Glibzer]

Sure a turbo 6 in the nissan? Iirc the r90c was a 3.5 v8

[@dubbe186]

This is unbelievable footage.

[@joshua9941]

I'd watch motorsport on TV if this still existed, bring it back pls

THANK YOU for posting these GREAT Vintage Races! And THANK YOU for not spoiling the ending in your description 🙂 If you (or anyone else!) have any GT races from 1983 - especially the one at BIR (I don't know if it was even filmed) - I would be very grateful if you post it/them. THANKS AGAIN!

[@theflagstand]

Didn't dare to read the description until after the race, but thanks you very much for not having spoilers in it! This one was awesome.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Never forget these historic races in IMSA.

[@green1300]

Love lime rock! Go twice a year,going back July. Sometimes they use the chicane and sometimes no,depending on the race I guess,love seeing the mustangs and corvettes get their wheels off the ground when they’re not using it😎 Great vid,Thanx

Great upload. Thanks IMSA.

Watching classic imsa while preparing diner

[@idjeepindude320]

Nice, thanks IMSA!

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

That heat plume coming off the toyota down the straights is just insane. I think it melted the air as it raced along 😆

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

Onboard footage from the 90s hell yeah

[@cliftonjackson441]

I feel like if this guy was still doing the,announcing more Americans would watch road racing series The guy at the beginning

7:00 Race start

[@km6832]

Was there any on track overtaking?

[@furion192]

39:00 He survived with just some cuts and bruises... Umm his face is also half melted from the fire.

[@chrisamon4829]

iirc the burn scars were from a previous wreck. I don't think he would have returned the next day (as they wouldn't just be scars overnight), do you? ;)

[@penske369]

I never knew Ken Squier did any work for ESPN!

[@Bob930]

I was there !

[@tommack8650]

Me too!

[@413TomaccoRoad]

​@@tommack8650Me three. 😅

[@DrKuryakin]

Would love to see a full race with the peugeot 905

[@chrisamon4829]

Why would they? The 905 never raced in IMSA....

[@chrisamon4829]

Perhaps you meant the Sebring and RA Peugeot/Audi battles in the ALMS? (and WEC, or whatever it was called back then, of course)

[@DrKuryakin]

@@chrisamon4829 i dont know what all these styles are called :D started watching these vids recently All i remember is the 905, had a poster of it too haha

Hell yeah this is awesome

[@PeterKKraus]

You Cut is a much better app for old videos. It keeps 4:3 without filling in 16:9 with black or this nonsense.

[@donwest5387]

it's not a Chevy/Spice; it's a Spice/Chevy
