Leh Keen driving a 74 Porsche RSR in the 2014 LeMans Classic

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

The momentum maintained by smoothness and sheer good driving is a joy to watch and makes some of the other drivers look ragged and clumsy by comparison.

[@nicomeier8098]

You mean like the guy in the dark blue/purple (?) 935?

[@jasonlaker8723]

@@nicomeier8098 935 is a completely different kettle of fish, the boost and lag are way harder to deal with than the smooth delivery of the 3.0 RSR.

[@pedrolami]

The difference between a pro and an amateur - Leh was giving so much away in power but gaining it all back with stunning car control and race craft. Inspiring to watch (for us amateurs!)

[@Casey_J96]

You can tell that blue 935 is definitely quicker in a straight line but you are superior driver with great line choices. Driving skill is the best mod!

[@Noukz37]

I think Moby Dick driver is good driver, just has a shit load of turbo lag out of the corners...

[@TomDeWeerdt1]

A 935/78 is also tricky through the corners, it has no differential

[@Krisisawake]

It must be very tricky without differential ! There was a time in racing when it was the driver who make the difference, not the electronic system.

[@scientificpony6472]

Holy crap - I had no idea. I love just watching it shoot fire out the back on it's downshifts

[@C42ST3N]

No he isn´t any good Noukz37. Take a look at the braking and his lines. He has no clue

[@Mich_Angel]

It's a true pleasure to see a driver that know the limits of the car and can use it to it fullest :D

[@Mich_Angel]

High five one that! :D

[@jasonherriott]

Leh Keen has some huge balls! Not only is that car worth way over 1 million dollars... but he only has 280hp... and look at the beasts he is dicing with! The guy is awesome!

[@toyonda1]

? only 280 bhp?

[@tyuy100]

@@toyonda1 Yes

[@toyonda1]

[@DoctorDARKSIDE]

This guy has guts to spare, and what a spectacular sounding driving machine! No freakin' paddle shifters here... Bloody clutch and stick.

[@easternwoods4378]

Real drivers use a clutch and stick

[@Noukz37]

I could watch the whole 24hrs from this same view and wouldn't get bored for one second with this brilliant driving of a wonderful car!

[@Jb001jb]

11:15 that M1 procar tho! Screaming past, you can hear it going still in the distance.

[@jeffreycollins7297]

Oh yeah that was WILD. Too bad he didn't put up more. Hell I could watch this alone for two hours. It's like getting to be one of the garage guys.

[@Felix-ix3qe]

Yeah crazy almost gave me chills man

[@dasboot9471]

The Charger would dust the M1 if he ever opened it up all the way

[@se461]

Very cool BMW and fast. Wonder what class he was running? Leh's class? I'll have to look it up...

[@dealscale]

M1 and 911 rsr are my favs. Expensive cars. I only drive them in sim racing.

[@NubletPie278]

That was some awesome driving, way better than the other faster cars

[@AccentShmaccent]

great camera angle... LOVE seeing the footwork!

[@TosTimini]

Dam the way he went through Porsche curves on lap 1, absolutely brilliant stuff.

[@robertrishel3685]

Leh Keen is my bloody HERO! What a driver! A supreme Porsche specialist; a most enviable position. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.

[@dabrew75]

A pleasure watching him at work, a clean style gentleman🤙

[@secret5.]

Having a lot of experience driving old 911s I gotta say, you're one hell of a driver. It takes big balls to drive them on the edge that well, you deserve that win for sure!

[@institutmorningkiss]

Quite possibly the most enthralling video on KZbin ! ❤❤❤

[@derfunkhaus]

This is so much more exciting and engrossing to watch with an in-car camera than televised motorsports with the cameras following the cars from the outside and with sports announcers blathering on relentlessly.

[@polariaosu]

Wow, what I'd give to drive one of these cars even once. This is some of the best racing I've ever seen.

[@rcgreaves]

Such a treat to discover this and revel in Leh's gifts. Found myself watching the mirrors for traffic etc. Such gonads! how you carry momentum and out drive far faster machines. Thanks again and again.

[@JOHNDTONY]

It’s a beautiful dance and not many do it better than this guy.

[@robertrishel3685]

Lea Keen is the Master of Momentum in these old cars, what would be an over-cooked corner entry by mere mortals, he pulls off lap after lap! Turn after turn. Brilliant!

[@iplayoldschoolrunescape]

Damnnnnn he drives freaking agressive but hes like really careful and checks his side mirrors compared to the other douchebag drivers who wont let him pass and dont pay attention to anything but their front and sides ._.

[@Hardcaslte]

+blackmkiv It's a race but at the same time it's a casual race. People in these classics races don't want to jack up these historical cars so they usually drive them fairly easy for a race course and generally will let the faster cars by without blocking.

[@JRL_33]

Wow I've seen a lot of onboards on youtube but this takes the cake! Leh is the best American driver doing it today!

[@shadeburst]

Proof that the best high-performance component you can put on a car is the nut holding the wheel. Superb drive out of the corners!

[@ChampionHero]

Fantastic driving, and what a beautiful sound those old cars make!

[@hughchamberlain5018]

I'd love to be able to see the tach at all times.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Boy those 935's are so fast on the straights. You are a total professional. Its too bad about whats happening in GTD this year with the Porsches. Ever since I bought my 70 911 E I have been a fan for life.

[@antonispetrou4472]

Absolute amazing!! Drive it like you stole it!!! I was keep watching the right mirror all the time for a pass.... :)

[@SeanAlexanderJournalist]

Masterful driving by Leh Keen. What a wonderful 911 video!

[@BMWsloFanatik]

That cornering speed is just insane! Realy love your videos!

[@bigtrack3720]

Very nice indeed. Keen is one of my favorite drivers to watch. So much skill on display here if you pay attention. Watch how early he picks the throttle up at, or before each apex, and how he destroys everyone in the fast esses.

[@tutu2368]

Pleasure to watch Leh driving this awesome car.

[@nesthell2]

I like that car in front of him! 2:28 Thank you for supporting my Home track all the way in France!

[@mehmetmutluoglu1542]

most of the straight line heroes, but this guy is THE DRIVER. great fun to watch in company of a great sound.

[@hellobooom]

I just love the constant counter steer you need to use with these old 911s

[@JuhaEerikki]

A pleasure to watch this guy driving.

[@stephenwyatt6690]

I thought I had done some mad driving(illegal, uk rd's, wen younger) but WOW,could you imagine how terrifying it would be as a passenger! the sound of that engine is monstrous.amazing upload.

Little bit of a weird angle. BuT. I love.👍that insane power difference. The other just leave in the straight. But caught in the corners. Excellent driving.

That crossbar a little too close to knees wouldn't you say!

[@williamhendrix3253]

hate when they put the bar there

[@in4merATP]

That blue 935 should've gotten tickets for illegally parking at all those apexes

[@Vracer111]

Nice video! Seems the drivers of the other cars need to learn how to extract more from them. Like always, you dance right on that edge of performance and extract what you can from the car - makes for a great video! Traffic was a little crazy...lol. Nice video footage of some classic racecars too...Ferrari 512BB and BMW M1 were so sweet sounding! More videos like this whenever you can please!

[@aureliobrighton1871]

I have seen a Jürgen Barth Porsche 936 Le Mans onboard clip ... he was overtaking full flying Carreras which looked like parked on the Hunaudieres .. together with the impressions taken from here . I am slowly getting a rough idea of the literally unbelievable skill and nerves paving each inch of those tracks 🌷

[@troybrisby608]

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed the footage

[@CosmicSeeker69]

My guess is; that a LOT of time and effort went into chassis development - plus one mighty fine driver.. As for the blue 935 ----- well :/

[@saxmanbrad]

really enjoyed watching you drive! top notch!

[@jasonkent3658]

Very well driven took advantage of wherever you could , just simply out run in a straight line. But a real nice drive you should be proud of that performance.

[@shopes93]

Love these cars, got to ride shotgun in a '77 RSR at Sonoma raceway, was a hell of an experience and a hell of a driver behind the wheel as well.

Incredible corner speed! Mesmerising to watch‼️

[@bartdenhartog6466]

Great drive! A shame that he had to endure these amateur drivers like the yellow Porsche who clearly have more money than driving skills. And the guy in the purple Porsche needs to get his drivers licence. Leh makes these guys look like fools!

Amazing driving!

[@guzforce]

Super clean and precisely drive! Awesome video.

[@davidgonzalez4665]

Fantastic driving Leh, you out paced alot of the faster cars in the twisties, especially in the Porsche curves, validating why those corners were named in honor of the marque. I come back to this vid often just to hear the wail of that RSR. It looked like it wanted to kill you every lap lol,

[@fairmeadsdrainageproblem4564]

Fabulous footage. He’s faster than the other guys everywhere but the straights and that’s not his fault! Great driving, wonderful car. Great racing. Bloody awful driving position in these old 911s - look at the roll cage up by his knees!

[@marcust510]

Bro look very closely at his right foot when he upshifts. It’s barely coming off the throttle when he disengages the clutch with his left. Very small detail but that to me show a level of skill & finesse. I’m only 3 minutes in 😂 idk who he is but he’s driving his ass off! Aggressive yet, calculated. 18 minutes to go lol Alright I made it to the end & you sir have a new subscriber 🙌🏽

[@j9ljalex]

If you ever wanted to know why this car can demand such a premium ... This video is the only way I will ever experience the speed easily put down by this Great Porsche. Wow, you can almost hear the groans of the competition from 40+ years ago.

[@jinxed_jinxed_3443]

Great stuff, brilliant driving you were really pushing that old beast :D The real thing definitely seems to handle better than the one on Assetto Corsa lol

Your reaching access of upto 170-205mph (depending on the vehicle) then down to 40-60mph to a turn some have not prep quick anough to make it. AMAZING TRACK
