[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

What's your favourite era?

[@tijmendr9006]

Probably when audi, porsche, toyota fought for the title around 2014/2015/2016

[@xnotasweatx]

Right now actually

[@pigeonpoo1823]

I had the Jag XJR-9 scalextric model, so that and the mighty McLaren F1 were childhood heroes. British of course

By the way, Tom Kristensen won Le Mans "only" 9 times, not 19😅

[@EpicDrewCraftPE]

I was like holy shit 😂

[@OumuamuaOumuamua]

9 times holy shit

[@Crasher1982]

yeah PORSCHE won LM 19 times.

[@RohanSharma-jq3yj]

I think he meant wins and class wins together

[@Lightriks]

"Only 9 times"

[@mr8I7]

This short video shows one of the great things about Le Mans. Where you can have two very different cars in the same race and yet despite all the differences battling hard. The 908 vs GR010 and 917 vs 935 battles were great.

[@xnotasweatx]

Interesting how close the Toyota and Peugeot were

[@K3b1bisLtu]

Considering that the Peugeot has more power and less weight, it's surprising that the Peugeot wasn't further ahead

[@xnotasweatx]

[@sbeve7445]

@@K3b1bisLtuMore like bugged mod. The Peugeot could lap 3:18 around Le Mans. It should be a lot closer to the Porsche

[@mrbrisket1261]

Damn I keep forgetting how quick the LMP1s were. Amazing feats of engineering, but I understand why they got rid. WEC would have taken a serious hit if more manufacturers kept pulling out due to the insane cost to develop them. The change to Hypercars with the big grid this year is super exciting!

[@joeshelton1077]

I never saw that 787B win in Le Mans in 1991, I was approximately -2 months old by the time, but I'm glad it was featured in the video game series of Gran Turismo over the years.

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

Impossible to forget that one

[@Sliced_Bread1]

​@@mattyg267 true. But it's sound is 🔥

[@carmonajr18]

To my surprise, even though it has less power than the Porsche, Toyota & Peugeot, the Audi was still keeping up with them. You should do a gt class version of this, just throwing it out there. Awesome video👍

[@Jamieboi1989]

Power to Weight ratio is a powerful thing! The Audi is the lightest of the bunch minus the Porsche lol. Less Aerodynamics than the Audis newer opponents also means less drag so it can get to similar speeds they can despite the lower overall horsepower. And on a track like Le Mans, you never want too much drag lol.

[@fishii8237]

LMGT2 NSX gotta be there for old car reference

[@Vellano43]

Another great one.....I wonder what the results would have been without the chicanes on the mulsanne

Quite different, it would've benefited the older cars

[@highoctanegames]

the 917 and ford gt40 will always be some of my favorite cars of all time, same with the ferrari 330 p4 and the lola t70

[@Starfire_Storm]

There are so many iconic Le Mans cars, that it's hard to choose which ones to pick, but I think I would've chosen a Porsche 936 over a 935, but eh. Great video, goes to show how fast the LMP1H cars really were in the 2010's.

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

I chose the 935 because it was the last proper GT car to win overall, otherwise I would've chosen the 936 or the Alpine

[@Starfire_Storm]

@@THEWINDTUNNEL Well, the '95-'96 F1 GTR was quite the proper GT car of the F1, unlike the '97 F1 GTR and of course the '98 911 GT1 that won overall, which was "technically" a GT1 car, but we all know it was just a prototype that sort of resembled a road car. Still, I get the decision. Great video!!!

[@crysomlm4642]

Is it just me or the Peugeot was heavily under performing here? I'm pretty sure it should be closer to the Porsche than it was to the Toyota. That thing was a beast.

[@fayyadguissida]

Indeed, it should be quicker, unless if he used by accident the 2011 variant, which was slower.

[@vintageman91]

Late 50s-late 80s was probably the most exciting years at Le mans. All thought that Bughatti Tank looks stunning.

[@CD-Gaming]

Sounds pretty cool as well!

Your best video yet

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

Thank you! ;)

[@Jesko.]

Sad you didn't show the ts050. Its literally the record holding le sarthe car it deserves to be here.

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

I picked one car from each time period. IMO the Porsche 919 did greater things. It beat the TS050 every race they competed and ended Audi's streak in their first season with a part-time entry. I'll do a video specifically about that lap with the TS050 though

[@boomkittyFX]

do you think the 1923 drivers would have a heart attack seeing the layout and cars in 2023

I knew one of the new race cars were gonna win

[@filipeamaral4919]

yes sir good stuff

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

Appreciate it man

[@CMPDestroyer]

Good video. Although I suggest that the next time you add the Audi R8 (LMP900), you should use the 2000-2002 ones, because they were much faster than the 2005 one. Between 2000 and 2002, the factory Audi R8 had a power output of 620 HP. After 2003, Audi left the R8 in the hands of privateeer teams and engine power was reduced. In 2005, due to a new set of regulations, the old LMP1 cars were heavily penalized. Due to this, the power of the Audi R8 was reduced to 570 HP, meanwhile the Pescarolos had more than 620 HP as these cars were part of the new regulations.

[@OscarZheng50]

The road R8 was named after this R8 which won le mans 5 times in 6 years. In fact the road car's prototype was named Audi Le Mans quattro Concept

[@Tacoplane91]

Damn that Mazda sounds amazing

[@fayyadguissida]

Peugeot 908 HDI FAP should be closer to the 919 hybrid, it's either the mod who isn't great, or by accident it has the 2011 specs

What o fond awkward is how in GT7 THE 787B is faster than the 917 on most tracks, but here there's a massive and considerable gap between the two with the porsche leading instead. I understand that GT7 is a simcade but i wish it didn't have the balancing it has now just so you could see how similar they are if they were in smaller tracks, granted I know there's variables I'm missing but I've never been a big fan of meta balancing. (Edit: 6/8 I realize I had put down the wrong name and that's on me. Yes the 917 is slower but the prototype I was thinking about was the 962. I'm sorry for sounding arrogant for the correction but I get names mixed up with number names commonly.)
