Nissan R90CK Le Mans 1990 onboard - Improved Audio

Pole Position - Mark Blundell, #24 Nissan Motorsports International - 3:27.020
This lap was done by a 3.5L twin turbo V8 with the pair of wastegates stuck shut. It produced 1100 bhp with no traction control.
"Every input was pure relfex - things were coming at me everywhere I looked. For about 50 percent of the lap I felt like I was on the verge of a massive accident." -Mark Blundell

One of the best laps in motorsport history

Mark said in an interview if they had got a chance to really dial in the setup, he could have been 4secs faster. The car had problems during practice so they didn't have a chance to dial in the suspension.

Dios que forma de controlar esta bestia de auto parece difícil de domar

[@Alex-cn9ot]

Technicians: OMG! wastegate is broken! no control of overboosting, engine will fail! Driver: (Troll face) I have improved the engine disconnecting the wastegate control. Turbo: Here we go.

I never tire of watching this. 100% geezer driving an unrestricted bomb on wheels.

Perfect description 😂

Blundell's reflexes certainly saved him.

no wonder sports cars were so popular back then!

So many things that could go wrong and it turned out great.

[@assasingfateafk2578]

@@ivanr4778 eso pasó por que la válvula que permite descomprimir la presión del turbo se cerró y quedó bloqueada lo que le dio al auto mucha mas fuerza dado que empezó a mandar mucho mas oxígeno al motor lo que causaba explosiones mas poderosas aumentando la potencia

Man one of the best insane lap I have ever seen wow! 👏 The car stick like glue on the track & going so fast still time to flash lights for the slower cars ahead damn balls of steel 👌

本来は1台だけカメラスイッチをONにしないはずが、偶然にONになっていた。 これがこの映像。 これを聞きつけた日本人以外のドライバーが自分のトライビングの練習のために、その映像をくれと言って来た。 林義正氏もずいぶんこのビデオを差し上げたそう。

Don’t know which has more steel, Blundell’s forearms or his balls. Dude was obviously better suited for brutal speed of Group C vs finesse of F1.

[@kondor99999]

This has to be the greatest lap in Group C history. Blundell was a God.

[@jezzter4293]

Look at him fight that car! A total monster & he got it there. Great job

spectacular driving performance of a legendary race car. my god, the speed!

[@user-pk6dt1hv7b]

This car is an absolute beast but when you watch the footage the one thing that comes to mind is it could have used another inch and a half of travel. It breaks traction and bouncing all over the place. Could be faster

[@nbain66]

They mentioned that jt could have been up to 4 seconds faster with suspension tuning, they didn't get enough practice

You can see why Senna vetoed him as a team mate at Lotus .

[@thomashayhurst6547]

What? Mark Blundell was never in contention to be Senna's Number 2. I think you meant Derek Warwick, who Senna did block as his teammate at lotus when De Angelis left, but you'd still be wrong given Warwick never drove for Nissan.

Even with the chicanes being added for that year, flat out he hit 238mph (383kph) down the Mulsanne straight. Utterly bonkers speed.
