Mercy Jaysus. 300 km/h in less time than it takes to type it. The new generation of cars is unquestionably safer (RIP Stefan and Manfred) but they've also somehow lost the visceral man-and-machine connection of the racers up through the early 90s. Absolutely love this reminder of how brutally brilliant the 956 still is.

300 km/h on those straights, faster than any current LMP1 car, what an insane vintage monster! Racing isn't what it used to be, this was real, raw and just epic.

Uhh hate to break it to ya but LMP1s were breaking 320-330kph into the chicanes at Le Mans. Would of probably been closer to 350kph if they weren't so heavily fuel restricted and worried about energy recovery.

Back when the "Hunaudières straight" (not Mulsanne... as it is the corner at the end) was without those chicanes, cars were reaching 400+ km/h... and it's been decided it was too much; just for your knowledge.

I wonder how fast their laptimes would be, if they were raced on a serious level. I mean compared to modern race cars like GT3, GT1, LMP etc. Anyone knows how this would turn out?
@kallo182 Жыл бұрын
Jusy googel the old Laptimes of those Cars, and you will see. Back in the Days LeMans had no Chicanes, and they drove 400Kmh on the Strait. And even do today are 2 Chicanes on the Strait, and the Cars only drive 330Kmh on the Strait, the LMP1 Cars today drive faster Laptimes. I think on the Nordschleife those old Cars speed can be compared with modern GT3 Cars.
