[@alaricbragg7843]

To be serious I think that this story should be looked in the bigger picture of how some American motorsport ventures have at times failed to grasp the way things are done in Europe and Australia. A classic case of this is the Group A Mustang Touring Car in the 1980s. Teams in Europe and Australia struggled to make the Mustang fast because Ford in America did not really understand the FIA homologation process and how touring cars constantly needed upgrades to be competitive.

[@alaricbragg7843]

I still think those Cadillacs looked cool. However therein lies the problem. As you pointed out the car design was several years out of date and powered by a relatively unsophisticated V8 Supercar motor, and the whole enterprise lacked the resources and development of Audi and Bentley's efforts. Of course Cadillac are back with a vengeance in Hypercars and rumours still persist of a Formula One entry. That was then, this is now.

[@thechannelimashamedof2361]

The race variants of the Northstar engine were good, as long as they weren't badged as Cadillacs. Under the Oldsmobile badge they were dominant in the early Indy Racing League, and under the Opel badge they won races in DTM.

[@drift_works]

Hi i love your channel, i always watch ur videos, but can i ask you to lower a bit the volume of the eurobeat parts? i would appreciate a lot:)

[@FailedRacers]

The idea of the differing volume levels is that it has like a sort of 'bass drop' effect, which is why I usually put a hard line before the music bits, but some people were getting annoyed over having volume warnings before, I'll try to work out a way, because when editing I listen at 100% volume to make sure there isn't any unpleasant noises that you can't hear at my usual volume, and those parts can give more of a jump scare effect than a 'bass drop' effect, so I'll try to work out how I can get the effect I want without the jump scare side effect it produces. I'm new to this and I'm teaching myself to edit, so the quality of the sound and everything else should be better with each video

[@drift_works]

@@FailedRacers thanks for all! you are amazing!

[@NuclearHeadshot]

​@@FailedRacersdynamic range (volume differences) is a useful tool, but the most common mistake people make is having too big a difference. Striking a good balance between having dynamic range and not having the listener have to manage their volume several times throughout the video is hard without experience. It's already better balanced than your Octavia WRC video. I also wouldn't recommend blowing your ears out listening at full volume, as it might give you false info (the amplifier might clip instead of the audio file itself) as well as hearing problems down the road.

[@Hammerhead547]

It also didn't help that they were promoting an engine line that was one of GM's worst at that time. The Northstar line of engines were exclusive to cadillac and high end oldsmobile's, and they were famous for literally ripping themselves apart in some extremely spectacular ways. They were introduced in 1994 and gm wasn't able to finally swat all the flies buzzing around it until the third gen version of the line came out in 2004, just four years before being discontinued.

[@jacekatalakis8316]

That Northstar LMP was enterened in the same race as Audi R8 LMP900, 550 Maranallos, and....a Morgan Aero 8 on the entry list. Man, outside of the dominance of Audi, the early 2000s Le Mans had some wild entries that were on the list. Then again the Northstar engines gave the Menard Buicks a run for their money in terms of which had the more spectacular failures, it's a tough call between the Menard ones just turning into a giant plume of smoke or a Northstar engine grenading itself suddenly, se Smoke's famous one at Indy The car itself looked nice, but it was slow, and didn't work that well. I do wonder though, with the GT3 rules at Le Mans, is the Caddy CTS.V homologated and could that show up and give Corvettes a good fight?

[@WONMARK]

Cadiyac pujo gayado... I'm here for it

One quick correction I should make, the Audi R8 LMP had a double element rear wing, but due to how shallow the AoA is, it's hard to see the slot gap, so visually it looks like a single element wing.

@racingklaus False.

Furthermore, the 787B that won Le Mans was operated by ORECA, who are French (additionally the cars themselves were built by Mazda in-house, making them Japanese). the Toyotas that won Le Mans were designed primarily by Pascal Vasselon, a Frenchman. The Fords that won Le Mans had US engines tuned by Carroll Shelby, a US driver/engineer, and thanks to mediocre performances, were actually redeveloped in Los Angeles, California and Dearborn, Michigan, it was those re-developed GT40s that won Le Mans, not the British designs.

[@DR3ADER1]

[@DR3ADER1]

@racingklaus Wrong again, they weren't even called "Toyota Team Europe"(Their initial name) until the early 1990s. Furthermore, this discounts the presence of SARD, TOM'S and many other teams affiliated with Toyota to an official capacity, that are based in Japan. In addition to this, the chassis, engines etc for the rally cars are of Japanese origin and are Japanese cars (then there's the registration, as they are listed under Japan, not Germany, France or Sweden under the FiA's official classifications and registries). Under that same idiotic logic, Mercedes is a British F1 manufacturer because they base their Euro headquarters in Brackley. Aston Martin is half-Kuwaiti because of their owners and Dodge is French-Italian because they share parts with Alfa-Romeo and other Fiat Group marques. There's a reason why you don't hear the German national anthem when Toyota wins a race in the WEC or the Finnish national anthem in the case of the WRC.

(1) The Ford MkIV (and, that's "MkIV" ... NOT "GT40 MkIV," as it was a J-car chassis, not a GT chassis) was built entirely in the USA. The 1966 winning MkII was a GT chassis, although not a GT40. The 1968 and '69 winner was a GT40, and those cars were built in the UK. The MkIV was not. (2) Cadillac was not developed to compete with Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. Cadillac was established in 1902, after M-B, but long before BMW and Audi began building automobiles, and became a part of General Motors in 1909. In the 1920s and '30s it competed in the high-end luxury market with Packard, Pierce Arrow, and Duesenberg. (3) With your "South Iff-rican" accent, I'd be very careful criticizing the way Americans speak. Yes, some of our regional accents are hard on the ears (I grew up in Pittsburgh, spent other parts of my youth in Oklahoma and the NYC area, and went to college in the South), but are generally easier to take than "South Iff-rican" English. (4) Even the French pronounce the make in question as "CAD-ih-lak," so your insistence on "Caddi-yak" is badly placed.

And they were not the first luxury car maker to arrogantly think that an ultimately disasterous design would beat all comers. Look at Porsche and their 1991 V12 F1 engine. The problem was that Cadillac had been away from Le Mans since the 1950s. Look at the non-European Le Mans winners Toyota and Mazda. They spent years - no, decades - perfecting the art before achieving victory. I can understand why Cadillac thought recycling a Riley and Scott chassis would put them on the short cut to glory at Le Mans. However what would have beaten the Porches and McLarens during the 1995-1997 period was old hat by 2000 against the Audis. Pardon typos.

0:19 the ford gt is a American car and ford is a American company

[@FailedRacers]

It's an entirely American car except for the chassis, gearbox, bodywork, suspension, and every other component that's not the engine.

And america is a continent

[@VicarOfMayhem]

How far back did you check for this "every car that won Le Mans outright has been yourO'peein'"? I ask because Ford won OUTRIGHT from 1966 to 1969 and last I checked Ford is a "Merican company! Or that doesn't fit your short sighted view? And limiting it to "outright" instead of class leaves the Corvette right out too (they had to ask the Corvettes to detune their engine so the Furarewes and Porches might have a chance! Otherwise, sh1t video, bro.

2:48 joke ripped from top gear

[@FailedRacers]

Not quite. They've also done the same joke, but they weren't the first ones either. It's a bit of a common joke.
