I think you're the first youtuber to talk about MiG M100 in a documentary format. I've seen this car when I was researching to recreate the 1993 24H of LeMans on assetto corsa, and saw the M100 and it's poor results. I am so glad that someone actually talked about these very forgotten GT1 gems, Harrier, Mosler and their Raptor GT1, the 037 "GT1", etc. More racing games need more cars like these, so they can have at least some type of recognition. Then again... licensing will be a big issue for some of these cars and brands.

There is another obscure car you needed to mention and that is the Bitter GT1. Because the Bitter GT1 actually started out life as a factory Elise GT1. Mike Hezemans which was a former Dutch factory racing driver decided to fix the car of it's problems. His father Toine, owned the 2 former Elise GT1 chassis and with 2 mechanics Peter Classen and Mario van Beek, they reworked the car and replaced the Chevy V8 with a Chrysler 8.0 V10. The car was branded a Bitter in order to make it compliant for the FIA GT championship. Hezeman's friend Erich Bitter which was an independent German car maker agreed to brand the car a Bitter. That is the story in short

[@PescaraProductions]

[@Tyindel]

learnt something insanely cool. Rodin cars brough the Sintura in the early 2000s and along with the car mentioned here recieved a spare chassis and the moldings for the body. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of it, they've built a new Sintura using their own 4l NA V10, that chassis and the bodywork molds alongside a ton of in house engineering and its running at World Time Attack currently. Reading their press comments it appears they plan to put the Sintura into production but i assume it'll be a track day special rather than ever getting a true road car. For context on Rodin, they're a New Zeeland based engineering firm building engines, continuing on the Lotus T125 project with their own upgrades, building a no rules single seater and attempted to join F1 in a partnership with Carlin but were denied by the FIA so they've got some serious engineering capablity and no doubt could build these from the ground up to sell

From the last clip, Mega's history is very varied and rather bizarre - as well as their supercar-that-never-was and that Mega Trak thing (that looks and with that name sounds like a full-size Tonka toy) they were also well known for building tiny economy cars of the kind legal for 16-year-olds to drive in France on a moped licence, and favoured by elderly drivers elsewhere, some being known as Aixam-Mega. And just to add an even stranger element, one of those small cars formed the basis of the Mega Glace ice racing car, which was a little mid-engined four-wheel steering rocket which won the Trophée Andros title in 1994 driven by Francois Chauche.

[@mattarnold198]

Aw, no mention of the Vector M12? That was my favourite in Sports Car GT and about the closest the Lamborghini Diablo (my actual favourite car) came to being used in GT Racing. Having said this, the M12 was in GT-2 - I just used it in GT-1 because I wanted it to win! Some seriously beautiful cars in GT racing in the 90s though - my favourite Mustang - the Saleen one seen in this video, the best Viper (and the sound it makes will make your hairs stand on end!), Ferrari F355s with the coolest painted-white 5 Spoke rims ever (OZ rims), the F40 GTE/LM, the Esprit V8 still with its pop-up headlights and those GT-2 Porsche 911s with the strip rear light. The 90s really was peak hypercar and I reckon it drove this racing series and vice versa. I'd watch races to will the best-looking car to win - I had no interest in the drivers! This and the multiple races in one race were two reasons I much preferred GT racing over F1 (even back then, when it was still worth watching).

[@mattarnold198]

That's kinda funny with the 037 - it was originally derived from a Group 5 track car called the Beta Montécarlo Turbo - although that had wider wheels and box arches for them to stick out further under. Kinda went full circle only without getting all of its track parts back.

“A true golden age for sports car racing” Yk, I think there’s a case to be made for the current HyperCar regulations in WEC/IMSA to be considered a golden age in endurance/sports car racing, but few games if at all feature them. The Cadillac GTP, the Ferrari 499P, the new Toyota, hell even Isotta Fraschini could be just as iconic as the Mclaren F1, or the CLK GTR and so on. If only a game like Gran Turismo included a full HyperCar roster in their games, or Forza, or anyone

[@DerpSherman]

Well,the Cadillac and Porsche (as a DLC)are already in the newest Forza Motorsport (but classed alongside the LMP1,so they are kind of outclassed) while the Toyota is most likely to appear first on GT than Forza (just like the GR86 or the GR Yaris). But I agree that the Hypercar class isn't complete anywhere(outside of LeMans Ultimate) and more games should try to add them, just like with the GT1s.

[@sandalogaming6766]

@@DerpShermanI mean, it doesn’t need to be complete like Le Mans Ultimate, but a game that features at least… say like 4 or 5 of them. (For example: Toyota, Ferrari, Porsche, Cadillac and BMW) would be a good start. I know licensing is a pain (especially when it comes to Ferrari as I’ve heard) and modeling a car in todays graphical standards might be even more of a pain, especially when it comes to Gran Turismo. But there’s a golden opportunity here and both PD and T10 just seem to be missing the mark

[@kspectre21]

The Mosler entries are so unusual, ugly as hell but strangely charming to me at the same time. The Raptor GT1 though did look a lot better than the road car with those aero modifications for the front end. The Harriers on the other hand are fantastic looking, it's a real pity they're mostly forgotten considering how well they could perform. The LR9 in particular looks really good and stands out without necessarily being unusually styled. The Quaife is also an extremely good looking car and reminds me a bit of a Noble (kinda like the M600), also interesting as both brands use Ford engines (although Noble use V6s). Definitely ahead of its time and very impressive for a drivetrain manufacturer who don't build or design cars normally. It was also a cool idea to run it as a 4WD but obviously not particularly effective, I'm glad they've kept both of them alive and on display too. The Sintura also looks ahead of its time, reminds me a lot of the Toyota GT-One in terms of appearance. Massive pity it ended its life due to funding, a proper road version would've been pretty insane too. The Renault Sport Spyder V6 looks super chunky, the short-wheelbase just makes it look quite damn fat lol. I do love it as an idea though and it's definitely a very interesting change from the standard model, also an interesting choice of engine. I do prefer the original design though than the slight redesign of the Helem models. I'd never actually heard of the MiG models so that's definitely a cool one to find out about. My favourite is between the Quaife and the Harriers, I think I'll have to give it to Quaife because it's a more interesting project and looks better imo

The Lancia 037 appearing in Japan is odd but with it racing on a circuit, not odd as that was what Lancia initially wanna do with that thing also. So what people forgot is that Group B has two stages. Road racing and rally racing. Rally got the hurrah but that doesn't mean manufacturers doesn't give a shit about road racing, in fact, many tried pulling two principles at one go most notably Lancia and Porsche. Lancia tried to turn it into a road racer (Technically Group B circuit racer) with the ideas from Group 5 which was already done in 1982 by Brivido Martini team with the Montecarlo which was a fully road specced 037 but with the Group B ruling, the car didn't perform extremely well upon testing thus they abandoned it and focused more on the rallying side of stuff which was Lancia's strong suit anyways.

Another unusual and obscure GT1 car that came from British GT was the TVR Speed Twelve which raced from rounds 2-7 in 1998 and not only was sold in scalextric form, but if you race modify the road going version in Gran Turismo 2 the car takes on the appearance and livery of the 1998 British Gt GT1 car

A new category has been announced by the FIA, allowing junior class rally cars to compete in an equivalent touring car class. Should be an interesting crossover.

12:37 MY EYEEES HEELP!!!1 That abomination aside, very interesting video. 037 in GT trim was a shocker almost as much as fake lambo.

We just need a game with GT5/6 graphics but with every car and livery… A showroom where you can actually spec your cars. Real life options and everything. All of these liveries look so amazing
