Jaguar XJR-8 & XJR-8/9 Racing at Monza Circuit: TWR 7.0 V12 Sound!

[@calleskoga3572]

I saw and HEARD these at Le Mans in -87. The best was when they past by at almost full speed the restaurant at les hunadieres where we ate and drank and hade a great time. And the windows were wide open towards the track! What a wonderful noise that was, and what a wonderful memory that is, and thank´s a lot for this wonderful video!

[@markushogberg8130]

I'm so jealous!!

[@CupsofCopus]

I'd give anything to hear these beauties in anger at le mans that year, my favourite group c and outright le mans car of all time...

[@nouvalari]

I was also there that day.............goosebumps!

[@reecemoore3951]

Hans Svedberg one can only imagine these days....

[@orsonwelles5549]

Yes, the unique sound takes me right back to 87 and 88 at Le Mans. The experience of sitting at the cafe halfway down the Mulsanne straight, literally a few feet from the track and hearing these Jags scream by at 400kph is unforgettable and was something you would struggle to find anywhere else in motorsport, then or now. I was lucky to be there and this great video brought back great memories. Thanks.

[@jakegoesboom999bruh6]

3:25 that echo down the track gave me chills

[@soyounoat]

Aside from the electrifying sound, I love watching these Jags take curves and corners with the car flat parallel to pavement, no tire squeal, apparently effortless. Much like the slot cars we played with as kids in the 1960s.

[@CupsofCopus]

Oh be still my heating heart... The car that made me fall in love with sportscar racing after playing it on GT6. Without doubt, the XJR8 and 9 are THE greatest British endurance, group c car and le man's winner we've ever built! Grazzie from the bottom of my heart bozzy and may the V12 howl of the jag NEVER fall silent! 🏁🇬🇧

[@badgers1975]

Grand touriso has never done justice to the sound of group c cars. They are LOUD except for the 956 and 962 which have a beautiful purr especially in the hands of Bell and Stuck.

[@vernongoodey5096]

Excellent comments, I went to LeMans from 1987 to 1995 and after my first taste of these machines came home sold my Triumph Stag and bought my beloved British Racing Green Jaguar XJS 5.3 litre V12. Loved driving a car with an engine that raced at LeMans

[@TheXJRMAN]

Another Jaguar that won at Le Mans - underfunded, under resourced with a giant, heavy road engine, somehow those brilliant engineers and skilled drivers managed to do it again - an unrepeatable feat from all those concerned in the TWR-JaguarSport operation. HATS OFF!

[@barath4545]

1700 rpm idle, confirmed race engine.

[@darrenbrailsford6809]

6.16 a beautiful sound as upshifting going under the bridge. Listen the that glorious V12 pure. Just stunning 👌

[@briannicholls2893]

And the crazy thing is that the origins of that engine date back to the early 60s, but it was still a good enough basic design to win Le Mans all those years later

[@kurtbilinski1723]

I got to see and hear a V12 Jag at the Del Mar Grand Prix in the late 1980s, and never forgot the sound. They'd accelerate away from a corner, and we'd think, okay, he's going to shift about... now. Nope, they'd keep right on going, and we'd think, surely he'll shift now! Nope. The sound of that engine, I never forgot it. In this video, thank you to whoever recorded it, keeping the scenes in after the cars go out of sight, so that we can hear that echoing exhaust note :)

[@georgejacob3162]

So nice to hear the Jaguars roar in their natural environment!

[@chriskappert1365]

I saw and heard them at the RING 91 with Schumacher in Sauber Merc . MADNESS ! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@marks7197]

The Jag V12's weren't at the Nurburgring in 1991. It was the 3.5 litre Cosworth HB car.

[@roconnor01]

Great memories. Having been an avid F1 fan and attended several races,I thought I'd give Group C a try, and so I attended the 1986 Silverstone 1000km race ,and watched Derek Warwick and Eddie Cheever win in the Jaguar XJR-6 beating Derek Bell and Hans Joachim Stuck in the factory Rothmans Porsche 962C. From that race on I was hooked on sportscar racing above all other categories, and so it has remained for the last 38 years !

[@EinserDrive]

Best engine sound ever composed. Period!

Fell in love with the XJR-8LM ( the low wing without the wheelcovers ) when I saw it in the report from '87 LM as a wee lad, one of my favourite race cars ever, still love it just as much. Removing the wheelcovers does wonders for the lines of the Jags.

[@Freebird67]

I used to go watch jaguar in uk and Europe fun times and best racing ever

[@AnyaKittyMeow]

my favorite group c car that I played on project cars 2. I always pick the car which has the most V's because in my head, the more V's the better sound

You're one of those who like high pitched sounds, I like from aggressive tiger-like growls from a V8 to a banshee-like V12 :D

[@chuckyboy6977]

I remember watching these Jags at the braking point on the hanger straight, and because it was about 1987 there were no building on the infield. It was possible to watch the cars from the start of the hangers straight, around Stowe down to Club the along to the kink and then as they were now just tiny specks from our view point, they would disappear around woodcote and balls the along the start finish

[@OhItsThat]

This is why I’m not in love with modern racing. I don’t care if modern race cars are faster around corners or more fuel efficient. Sure it’s nice that they’re safer now but nobody was ever forced to get into a race car.....that I know of:) Nothing compares to the sound, the visuals, the driving skill and the balls it took to race these cars. I saw the XJR9, XJR10, XJR14 at the Camel GT in the late 80s-early 90s as a kid. Great memories

[@badgers1975]

Saw them debut as the xjr6 at brands hatch a couple of years earlier and they looked gorgeous in British racing green and gold. Still the loudest car I've ever heard. On Pilgrims drop you could feel your diaphragm vibrate and felt physically sick and pretty close to the threshold of pain. Those cats had a roar

[@colinstewart1432]

You can't beat a Jag in Racing Green. It's literally what life's about. 🤘😎🤘

[@marks7197]

Yeah, I saw them at Brands Hatch in 1985 too when they ran in the green and white livery, it was just after they had their first run at Mosport. Saw the first win the year after at Silverstone which was brilliant, they'd increased them to 6.5 litres by then and were in the silk cut livery (censored one at Silverstone) watched them each year from then right up to the turbo v6 and finally the 7.4 litre V12 and then onto the XJR14. Great days and a superb series!!!

[@badgers1975]

@@marks7197 it's only when you look back you realise how special that era was, and how lucky we we to see them run in real anger. I know they still run but you know they aren't being pushed as hard as they were. The year Johnny dumphries and Mauro Baldi hounded them to the end of the race on the same lap at brands in a 962gti is still probably the greatest race I've ever witnessed

[@marks7197]

@@badgers1975 I know exactly what you mean. My family were big Jag fans and still are so we were over the moon in 1986 at Silverstone. Back then we could walk the circuit afterwards and everyone had their union flags it was great. My favourite race though was at the ETCC event, might have been for the Tourist Trophy when Walkinshaw was chasing down one of the 635s in the XJS when it had dropped a cylinder or two, up on two wheels through woodcote chicane! Awful weather that day but didn't spoil it at all. The variety made it so special with different looks and particularly sounds... Very different today sadly.

[@badgers1975]

@@marks7197 different times, I lived 20 minutes from brands and it was cheap. Our tickets for the grand Prix we £25, lost my dad recently and i found all his photos and slides, my son is a massive Motorsport and grandturismo fan, we were going through them and he turned and looked and said , is there a legendary car or driver from that era you haven't seen. The honest answer was look at the pictures we saw it all. Group C, F1 , touring cars, rallycross, and I've probably missed loads . We'll never see the like again there was literally something happening every few weeks.

It was not a successful car, but the sound of its engine is amazing.

[@Karibanu]

Mostly designed by humans - there was a little CAD available but nothing like the level of CFD we have these days. Everyone was looking for the optimal shape by slow trial & error. Plus the rules were much wider, everything is massively over-regulated now unless it's done by BoP ( and at that point you might as well not try & refine your design anyway ).
