NASCAR Garage 56 in Race Footage Compilation

[@johnwadmaniii]

It took the officials at Lemans less than 20 hours to figure out that the NASCAR Camaro was a crowd favorite. Smart move to allow them to change out the gearbox and get back out on track to finish the race and continue to entertain the racing masses! Brilliant!

People love to diss NASCAR, those individuals are not true fans of motorsports. A true fan appreciates all forms of racing and the cars involved. Hendrick Motorsports showed what these machines are capable of!

[@davidroe64]

I love all forms of motorsports but grew up on Nascar. Every time a formula one champ enters a Nascar race they get alot of hype and then run in the back of the field. When 7 time Nascar champion Jimmy Johnson went over to IRL he was a back marker. Not easy to come into someone else's playhouse and be competitive without alot of testing. Something Jimmy didn't get the luxury of doing. Simulation doesn't replace actual testing.

[@NIR_Prizmo]

The fact they went in and didnt expect much from it and ended up beating a lot of LMP2, GTE category contenders, and even some hypercars on its first running suprised me. Now if they can have it shed a good quarter ton, and add a good hundred extra horses to fight with the hypercar class I'd love to see it 😂

Nascar is just turning to the left sometimes. But not always ❤

[@deerlord2363]

This car is nothing like a NASCAR Cup legal car. This thing is closer to an LMP2 in terms of power and modifications, as the only entry they had no limitations, so, of course it was going to be *very* competitive in comparison to the other regulated categories.

I agree, this car added colour, character & spice to Le Mans. It's great to hear the guttural pushrod V8 (358 ci ?) as a contrast to the sounds of the other cars. We need to see more collaboration like this across the international racing community so that the fans see more variety, contrast and excitement. The technology in these NASCAR engines, especially the Gen 5 (Car of Tomorrow, COT) Cup engines is truly impressive - in unrestricted COT Cup form, I find it hard to fathom 10000 rpm & 1000 bhp for hours on end at wide-open throttle from a pushrod 5.86 litre V8.

Apart from stopping for pre-planned brake discs and pads change plus then need to replace the gearbox the car ran faultlessly it seems. Fascinating to watch the battle against the top GTE cars! Chevy easily faster on track but, due to weight and less aerodynamic used a lot more fuel. Same no of laps between refuelling as GTE but a 32 gallon tank compared to 24 gallon capacity of GTE so pit stops for just fuel were longer by quite a few seconds.

A number of people are missing the point of this car's entry and why its ability to out clas the GT cars matters. While it's unregulated due to being the garage 56 entry. It's still nothing more than a next gen nascar given near full potential. Nascar is notorious for being rather slow, unless its doing oval racing due to its regulations. With this, on the other hand, to be rid of those and just be built more like a normal race car. For all intents and purpoaes, it's mostly still a nascar but no restrictor plate for over 700 horse power. Massive weight reduction. And f1 style wheel and paddle shifters. Alongside proper aerodynamics. Its just fun to watch and realize how much Nascar regulations hold their own vehicles back

Keep in mind, that this is not a NASCAR, but a car inspired by NASCAR. Almost everything on this car is different. Suspension, brakes, wheels & tires. The list goes on. The engine, not constrained by NASCAR rules makes more power and is more durable, while still being detuned by 100hp or so for this race for longevity. The Aero is much different, biased towards down force, not top speed. Jenson Button said ( as seen in the videos ) that car is a torque monster and was crushing the other cars accelerating out of the corners and for the first third of the straights, but the barn door rear spoiler slowed top speed quite a bit. He also mentioned that for as good as the mechanical grip was, the weight of the car hampered braking and cornering. It also has a carbon chassis. Everyone thought the car would blast down the straights at over 200 then almost come to a stop in the chicanes. In the drivers meeting before the race the officials mentioned possibly waving white flags when the car was in corners to warn the other drivers of a slow car ahead. Definitely not the case as they found out during qualifying! An actual road course NASCAR would not have fared as well in this race. I hope this type of car gets a class of its own and continues to be developed. Kudos to Hendrick Racing for fielding such a good car out of the box! And assembling a dream team Sounds to die for! Some of the other drivers were moaning that the car was keeping them awake during the night. 😂

[@spdcrzy]

Almost everything important is actually the same or quite similar, though. Suspension is identical. Brakes, wheels, and tires will ALWAYS be different for a road race vs an oval car. The engine is the same exact block. The front crash structure is actually the biggest change, along with the material used to make the body panels. The panels themselves are otherwise identical too. And all things considered, the canards and dive plans are very small pieces of aero compared to a giant rear wing.

@@sntslilhlpr6601 The thing is that it's a NASCAR base, so that chassis is extremely heavy, especially compared to something like the Porsche. Yes, it's a tube frame, but it's an extremely thick steel tube frame that's hilarious overkill compared to a GTE car. There's a reason why the car still weighed over 2,900 pounds after they ripped all the weight out, even after they removed the bump draft reinforcements, and it's that steel tubing. A car that used a base Camaro would probably actually be lighter, purely down to the fact that it's made out of aluminum.

@@sntslilhlpr6601 Horsepower isn't the be all, end all of racing. The NASCAR was heavier and had less downforce than the GTEs which would slow it down over the GTE.

I’ve been to Lemans the year that the Nissan delta wing was to run and saw it in practice before it was damaged. It was the most exciting thing to happen at Lemans since the Ford GTs. And now the Camaro! What immediately caught my attention was the difference in how a prototype car passes a GTE car and how it passes the Camaro. The LMP cars come out of a turn and immediately rocket past the GTE cars but they had to work to get past the Camaro. The process took time. The Camaro took Lemans by storm! And that sound! The Camaro provided the best Lemans show for spectators and the GT drivers (as they got to watch it through their windshields) in years!

I know the "not-so-stockcar" had a 250ish horsepower advantage, but there was still something very enjoyable about watching a NASCAR gun down supercars left and right.

[@paulpark1170]

Incredible to see a NASCAR pass all the snobby GTs!!!!

[@Squillaempusa.]

It's not really a Nascar tho.

[@WyFoster]

It's not a NASCAR. It's a stock car. NASCAR is the scantioning body.

[@patbruno3049]

You mean the car with more horsepower passed the cars with lower horsepower? Wow who would have thought!!!

[@WyFoster]

@@patbruno3049 Lets see next year if they give all the other cars another 1-200hp to keep up. If they can finish 24 hours like that. I bet you they won't.

[@f1david995]

Horsepower is not everything in racing. Aero,less drag downforce, reliability, etc.. many other things are important

[@sirswerve2493]

This brings back the days when a push rod square plane crank V8 dominated the track. Long Live this beast of a engine. Long live American motorsports and the V8!

Excellent collection of views of the Camero 24! Thanks SuperSquad for putting all of these together. Really enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

This is so amazing, I fall in love with it ❤, awesome job from the Nascar team, I hope to see more like this in the next years.

It was an impressive showing for NASCAR, Goodyear and Hendrick Motorsports. I've been looking forward to this for over a year and was definitely not disappointed.

This is a great compilation. I could watch this car all day. What a beast!

You know all of the other car companies were laughing their asses off when they saw a nascar vehicle roll up to the starting grid. But I'm willing to bet by lap 5 or 6, they weren't laughing any more 😎🇺🇲

Litterly a class of its own. I wish they feature this LM version in a regular NASCAR race, paddle shifter, carbon chassis, and bright headlights

[@darkninjacorporation]

It’s incredible how one car can steal the show, even if it doesn’t win. This has been a fascinating racing cross-over! I hope we’ll see more NASCAR visitors in the future!

[@donrobbie1461]

Think there was a film crew there for Hendricks/NASCAR/Goodyear so will get some good footage soon!

[@martin1203]

All credit to Hendrick Motorsport.They brought back the true Le-Mans 24 hr race.The days when they raced proper cars. Not the Tupper ware cars we see today. Hope they come back next yr as a two car team and show how racing should be.

[@Jdog2201]

I was surprised the announcers actually mentioned the NASCAR, was cool to see that clip. Missed the entire race due to work🙄

[@subagon]

NASCAR with real headlights!

[@diamondrequiem8155]

I just imagined what this thing could do at the Nurburgring... Now all we need is F1 at Le Mans and there's a real chance that NASCAR goes to the Nurburgring!!

[@mutantryeff]

Still pretty lame that NASCAR didn't live stream from their car on YT. Is Chevy going to produce a street version to capitalize?

[@TheSuperSquad]

Chevy is making something like 56 Le Mans Camaro Special Editions, it's pretty much the same as the Regular Camaro ZL1 1LE but with a small resemblance to the Garage 56 paint scheme and special emblems throughout the car

Sweet to see this compilation! I was red eyed watching the 24hours. Some have said without the Gurney Flap on the spoiler, the old NASCAR Camaro could have possibly given the LMPs and Hypers headaches😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Watching this low tech beast chase down and pass some of the most sophisticated and high tech race cars in the world was immensely satisfying. I can only laugh at what the other drivers must have been thinking every time that howling beast went around them and left them in it's wake.
