IMSA: 1990 GTO at Mid Ohio

[@rowe1756]

Man I'm loving these commercials thanks for leaving them in 😆

[@cool3865]

i wish i knew what the song was that was playing during the Lee Haney's workout video, i know it was also on the Monster Truck series back in the 80s

[@SpaNT650]

Don't try to buy those triple edge blades...

[@owenmcdonald5806]

WHY IS THIS CLASS SO FORGOTTEN ABOUT?? THIS SERIES BROUGHT SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING CARS TO ONE RACE, I LOVE IT.

[@andyeighttre]

People just don’t know. Heck an IMSA 300zx did well at Le Mans vs group C cars.

[@reinatycoon3644]

@@andyeighttre Damn it did perform excellent. In the 1994 24 Hours Of Le Mans the Nissan 300ZX made 5th place and was the ninth fastest qualifier! That's very impressive considering it's competition.

[@idkwhatowritehere-p3m]

EXACTLY MATE! GTOs were one of the best things to happen to motorsport

[@peterschancel7223]

Agreed great cars. Interesting The next year The MAZDA 787B 4 rotor would win Le-Mans When do you see a Ferrari F-40 Racing. Whenever I see the Nissan Color Racing Z I think of Paul Newman

[@international-F3000]

I agree.

[@BurtSampson]

What a bunch of absolutely fantastic cars.

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

"Luxury cars taken from drug dealers, and criminals!" Hahaha... these adverts kill me, our level of cheese could never approach this in the UK.

[@scullystie4389]

The war on drugs was an unmitigated disaster but at least it gave us ridiculously funny ads like that

[@tscooter22]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I love watching these old IMSA races. This is back when I was in my prime. I used to travel all over the country to watch the GTP and GTO series racing. Congrats, Mazda. ZOOM-ZOOM. /points left. Original owner here.

[@gozinta82]

The cars and the commercials are so nostalgic. Great example of how things have changed so much. Kinda similar to how people try to compare Lebron to Jordan in the NBA. You can't, the rules, training, vitamins and nutrients for health and focus, all that stuff was way different than compared to today. So amazing to see how much things cost as well back then. Shows how much more limits we dealt with and the lack of safety compared to today as well. Love the F40 but it doesn't compare to today's Ferrari's ;).

[@gary9170]

Man I’m glad this was posted. I’m here to see that F40 LM get slapped around the track. It sucks that this car was used very little because it had lots of potential.

[@Lancia444]

F40LM was a scream!

[@hippo4g93]

That’s definitely the competizione and not the LM

[@MrAckers75]

Good car that lacked lots of development

[@jasonmoyer]

F40 GTO wasn't an LM, but yeah, that car was sexy,

[@idkwhatowritehere-p3m]

@@jasonmoyer I'm confused, what is the real name of that F40? F40 Competizione? F40 LM? or only F40 GTO? i can't find more information about this car, is the most forgotten racing F40

[@malachihilkey3866]

Halsmer and that Rx7 is a freaking beast! I love 7s. Which is why/ how i found this video. What a great find! And some of these commercials are just pure nostalgia. Gas powered tools daaamn 😆

[@jimfitzpatrickstuff]

This video is glorious! Thanks for posting! As an rx-7 guy, it's cool to see the rotary engine play to it's strengths and succeed. I wish there was a documentary about this series.

[@pepsibottleq]

Ryobi gas powered tools, sign me up

[@richarddybdahl7563]

No kidding! Gas powered hammer drill? YES PLEASE!

[@ATLRIOT]

lol I just laughed out loud.

Power tools and workout VHS for sale. Please call with our credit card.

[@TheMrHarman]

OMG!! Thank you very much for this Video! I search a lot for IMSA GTO races 89 & 90

[@timthomas8309]

Holy crap I was at this race! Watched it with my Dad and his friend, I was five.

[@C6Z_Bob]

Damn, racecars were so cool back then, I wish I could have witnessed it.

[@cinellixa]

Bob You can still go to a vintage race. Check out HSR and SVRA ,they have events all over the country.

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

I had a chance to in 2019 at the Grand Prix of Long Beach

[@MrSirGiuseppe]

​@@cinellixait isn't quite the same though, the stakes aren't as high and all those cars are historic (unless it's like a replica event) so people don't push them as hard as they did back then.

[@KootBear]

I love the look of that red Whistler Cougar! perfect livery, too!

[@steventate9132]

Those classic commercials Are priceless lol...

[@thebigboybossy4232]

Damn the ryobi gas powered tools weigh less than 12 pounds? Sign me tf up

[@blokeford7408]

Just love those mercury cougar Xr7's. Such a tough looking race car

[@KootBear]

love em

[@able-fox]

Wow, very cool. Thanks for uploading this race. It is pretty neat to see the old commercials too.

[@vrtlove2137]

Came for the race stayed for the commercials

[@gozinta82]

Triple Edge Wiper blades!!!

[@briansmith4354]

This is great stuff, Loved the Ford powered cars of this era. Thank so much for posting. Hope we get more from you. So much better than watching stuck car racing.

[@afp5013]

Love IMSA, Mid-Ohio, and Marshall Pruett, but here for the 1990 commercials.

[@bvonsvideos]

Great upload! Thanks!

[@kevinroose8158]

I miss these cars so much. Loved those RX-7s.

[@elykus793]

man i wish i could be a racer in the 80s and 90s

[@mgrzx3367]

I was there, and when the F40 made the pass on the Nissan, it looked like it came from a mile back. I was watching from the side of the back straight. What a incredible move. Jean-Pierre Jabouille was awesome, and a great guy to meet. This was the only F40 to run Mid-Ohio. Thanks Marshall, my childhood returned.

[@PinnacleofRacing]

Mgrzx3 Wow, I would kill to be at the race and to see that F40 LM and to even meet Jean Pierre Jabouille. You are lucky my friend, this F40 will always be my dream car!

[@TheMrHarman]

@@PinnacleofRacing Me to. F40 is the greatest car ever and the LM or GTE are a pure dream!

[@redracer1985]

great upload here :) also that commercial at 11:39 I remember seeing that on an Oddity Archive episode.

[@wiliss3670]

I love it when a little rotor gets in the mix against the big boys.. great class of racing.

[@Romit12]

We need more IMSA GT videos

[@tjchr3]

Thank you for this Marshall This is Fantastic!

[@tokyosmash]

That guys mullet in the Ryobi ad 🤌🏻

[@bhollow711]

You're a legend for uploading this.

[@davidhonkstvorisit4811]

Who would dislike this awesome race?

[@ilikewarthunder8598]

this is what the Mazda driver thought when he started gapping that Ferrari: IM FAST AS FUCK BOY

[@StevenWise99]

Worth watching for the commerical nostalgia alone.

[@TheeUnderBrake]

Robby Gobby, Rordon Gordon.

[@bartleymollohan1090]

I was at this race and Robby Gordon was MAJIC! Bob Varsha's comment's where clueless then, during his time doing F1 and even now!

[@richarddybdahl7563]

It would have been amazing to be at this race. To hear a Mazda 4 rotor rip by followed by the roar or the Ferrari F40. Ear orgasims

[@nickacelvn]

I diddnt realize the Nissan 300zx was in the same class as the F40 (I love my Z32)

[@foreskidss7621]

Love these cars

[@hrtbrk1]

Bro look at the pace car are you kidding me. This is sick.

gotta check me out one of these solo flex machines :)

[@jordyottewalder4145]

The Ferrari 😍

[@ducanhvutran185]

It's like a Ferrari F40.

[@Vazin]

Too bad the Audi 90 IMSA GTO got banned for being too good...

[@Cory989]

wasn't it turbo charged while the other cars were NA?

[@Vazin]

Cory90 No, Nissan used turbos on their 300ZX too. They said it was the most powerful car in the field. Probably some of the other V6 cars used turbos too. Audi just dominated with quattro.

[@Cory989]

nevermind it was the fact that the Audi was AWD while i believe every other car was RWD

[@Vazin]

Aaah, alright ;)

[@Cory989]

awd vs rwd comes down to an unfair advantage with the ability to put power down more effectually. Thats is why the car was banned. If it was rwd like the rest it wouldn't have dominated like it did

[@geneyus6411]

Is it Pete or "Dwight"??

American made car drivers have always been sore loosers ,almost only imports were winning at the time ,they don't like it..(they hated the Audi quattro era) and that F4O GT team did a great race for a first one on this track.
