The Story of the Canadian Wolves in Japan that Saved Lamborghini

[@MrLolx2u]

The Japanese was actually real crazy about the Countach that it's not only appeared in many movies and Circuit Wolf, it actually appeared in another manga that's about a boy who somehow got a LP400 from an odd source and began learning to drive well with it, even facing odds like the Ferrari Boxer and the rare Jota and the manga's aptly named... "Countach". Also, since you brought up Wolf's Kremer K3, I think you need to dive deeper into Whittington Brother's 935 K3 team also. One of the biggest weed smugglers in America in that time by using their IMSA team to do it. Also, the 1979 Le Mans win? Yea that's the same team that got implicated in the drug bust. Also, besides motor racing, they also raced planes at the Reno Air Races thus this team certainly needs a vid explaining their motives, on why they do it and how they do it on top of their racing history from planes to how they managed to win said 1979 Le Man races you mentioned and how did they move their "drugs" across the US.

This has to be my favourite car story ever. Japan, rich racing team owners, Lamborghini, passionate tuners, and full circles, so so cool

[@ScrizzDubb]

That pagani story sounds sick, can't wait for that!

[@someblokeidk8565]

I'm glad someone's finally made a video on the Mid Night Countach. Just started the video and I already know it's gonna be a good one

[@musewolfman]

The reason the F1 wing didn't work was that the Countach is naturally balanced already. The wing made too much rear downforce and caused it to understeer severely. The ones you see on the production Countach make next to no downforce.

[@Skooby59]

I LOVE that you find “hidden” car stories that feel as magical as when i first started learning about cars. Always stoked for your vids, KEEP IT UP!!!

[@conorcrosbie9338]

I live in British Columbia and often see Mr. Wolf out with his daughter having coffee, I’ve spoke to him on occasion and he’s an interesting individual to say the least and the last of a dying breed. I’ve known who he was since about 8 years of age after receiving a slot car racing set from Santa and it having f1 wolf car. I told him the story up a the ski hill about 4 years ago and his eyes lite up.

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

Wish i could meet an interesting man like that.

[@YellowbirdYT]

Wow! This is a lot of information. I knew about the Wolf Specials being very important for the Countach (and by extension, Lamborghini's survival in the 70s) but this is way more than I knew about them before. Also. Anyone who played Gran Turismo 2 remembers that Lotus Europa!

[@emanuelecasetta4923]

@yellowbird yeah It was one of the colors of the racing modification for the Europa. Also the rm car was used in the grindelwald special license test

[@offcomet4721]

You make some of the best documentary style videos I've seen, you've done a great job!

[@zachary7085]

I know you are always asking for video ideas. There is already a great short documentary, but I think this story deserves a HuntersMoon version. The crowdfunded record at the Nurburgring with the 2017 dodge viper gtrs organized by Russ Oasis. And you could even throw some more facts about the incredible dodge viper and all of its still current lap records that it holds!

[@iamzypher3981]

Such a cool story dude! Very well done honestly! Love your video stories!

[@HuntersMoon]

Thanks Zypher!

[@gawkzilla]

Protect Hunter's Moon at all costs! this is legendary research, truly.

[@DatOneCat]

The only Mid Night Countach I've ever heard off up until now was a red one on a Speedhunters article a while ago. Had no wing, but was parked in some sort of parking lot. Good to know there was another one in white and was quite active. Speaking of white cars, I wonder if somehow this particular white Countach inspired the white Testarossa in Wangan Midnight. Albeit, in a small way?

[@CMDRSweeper]

Probably, for an example the tuner mentioned here that could tune anything, seems to have been the basis of Kitami Jun. Really interesting to see where the slight bit of truth to the Wangan Midnight franchise comes from.

[@jasonmeehan1269]

The countach is from 1972. It looked like a UFO In 72. It was produced until 1989. So it's a 70s car.

[@86Hasse]

@@jasonmeehan1269 I'm very well aware of the history of the Countach, thank you. No need for any lectures, good Sir. I was merely stating my own preferences regarding cars. However, few would argue with the fact that the Countach is an 80's icon (despite its roots in the 70's). Have a good day now 😊👋

[@zak_7354]

Great video! I used to work at Terai Engineering with Teruaki Terai, the guy who made the yellow racing Countach. Terai San was formally an engineer at Leyton House F1, and later the AO racing Spice GT car that ran in the Japan Sports Prototype Championship Series. He was also a member of the Japan Lamborghini Owners Club. That Spice car was meant to get a Lamborghini V12 and race at Le Mans but after much negotiations with the Lamborghini factory that dream never materialized. As the club’s dream was to one day go racing with a Lamborghini V12, they eventually got the idea to convert one of the club members Countach in to the yellow car we see in the video! I remember Terai San saying the Countach was a terrible chassis to go racing in...poor brakes, terrible aerodynamics, and heavy. But he put in a little Terai magic and made it work. And that the sound of that V12 screaming on the circuit made everything worthwhile! The garage was located on the outskirts of Shizuoka city, Shizuoka.

There are so many times when legends become so big, they disappoint you when you dive into the truth and what inspired them in the first place. Mid Night however is one of the very few that has the opposite effect, I'd know about the Porsche Blackbird and Devil Z, but didn't know about the Z32 or Lamborghinis as well or the Wolf story. That's why I love mid night and this channel! Excellent work as always.
