What car overtook him?

@@coopermcninch g-wiz

@@coopermcninch @1:26

He passed some guy like he was standing still, then he gets passed himself!

@@coopermcninch Courage Porsche.

I agree. The #203 car had this golden yellow visor. #202's visor was a much darker orange.

hughcdavies you are an encyclopedia

Knowledge

I love autism

It is 1991 there was multiple coloured 787-b.

Aye it was, the only time I've been to the great race. The screech of the Mazda's, the rasp of the Sauber's, the roar of the Jag's, the watch like singing of the Porsche's and the thump of the Aston Martin's making the earth move for me. I still watch the race every year, but the chicanes on the Mulsanne killed it for me.

@@hughcdavies I find it terms of sim racing the chicanes remove the monotany and make it a little more interesting since you are still going 220+MPH easy (and to note is that the drivers are partially to blame for the chicanes from what I've heard) but you also have to know you braking points along the straight for the chicanes, but I completely understand the sentement, we have lost a racing icon in a way by losing the full uninterupted Mulsanne straight with the blast along it that is longer than most race tracks around the world, but it still technically exists in its original form at least in real life, just no longer raced in that form.

I don`t like this sound . It sounds too much better than it can go

It was, I marshalled there and even when you were asleep, you could hear the bloody thing. God it was an awesome sound.....

now its 31

Well they often do that you know? With that much pure horsepower under their right foot, it's unavoidable

that corner has no grip at all, every driver hates it.

deggis4 nice save

@@williamhendrix3253 me too, i always spun out in that corner while driving R92CP in gran turismo 4. Always failed test😂

@@eddiedorizon I don't know if you're sarcastic but no they didn't go faster by getting oversteer. They go SLOWER.

They ruined for me after the chicanes

Die Schikanen waren schon zu viel

I agree. Nothing compairs

Magic

Code brown moment

That snap to grab the slide is un fucking real. Exactly where the wheel needed to be in an instant. And then back to center the millisecond the rear hooks up. Not even a hint of snap back. Fantastic.

Sensational

​@@Domi39agreed. Some serious snap oversteer in an 800 HP car could eat up any driver, even trained ones, and he made it look like nothing. Different breed of human here

Le mans cars had higher limiter . I see nothing special

He would be shifting DOWN from 3rd to 2nd.

@@Volvoman90 he is talking about the acceleration after Tetre rouge you can hear the limited bang after he shifts from 2nd to 3rd

I don't care about the Mulsanne chicanes. What I miss is that run through the old Dunlop curve down to the esses. That was much more of a challenge.

Not bad. 😎

The Mazda wasn't the faster car it won because it was reliable but not fast ..the XJR9 jags the sauber C9 Mercedes and perhaps the fastest was the Peugeot wm p88 they shattered the top speed record there before the chicanes

Does nothing for the racing.

@@thethirdman225 you sure

Remove the 1st chicane and I'm happy

@@MagnumLoadedTractor Yep. More braking zones = more opportunities to pass.

@@MagnumLoadedTractor if I were going to remove any chicane at Le Mans it would be the one on the old Dunlop Curve. I couldn’t give a hang about the Mulsanne straight, TBH.

88 Le Mans I'd say. The Mulsanne is so smooth and thats the year they laser smoothed it.

No I take that back immediately and realise I got my years spaghetti. Fellow down below is correct with Volker Weidler etc. Apologies.

@@madam94 Nope. The Mazda 767 and 757 were white.

⁠@@6lemans10they gave it the renown livery in ‘89

bullshit . Even on this vid there is car thats faster . And i cant see something special in its exterior . Lokks like group c era prototype

The car is beautiful. But technologically brilliant is about as overstated as its win. People need to stop glamourizing and romanticizing this car and its history. It doesn't do it any justice when you compare it to the real powerhouses of Le Mans.

It was just average.

nothing happens

thats a 3-rotor

Tracks nowadays are downforced focused, that's why they have 2 Mulsanne chicanes and a lot of other corners now at Le Mans

@@Panzer_Runner Nice engine and furthermore more bloody frame which permit to récupér the miss of maxi speed at each corner. Nice music. Thank you

@@Panzer_Runner There's no reason why that should be true.

Maybe if it was a prototype Mazda was known for prototypes

yep their spelling is great.

the fastest in the Hunaudières was the french WM P88 with supercharged Peugeot V6 PRV engine: 415km/h ! (officialy homologated 405km/h)

Don’t really matter about top speed. 787b could’ve gone 900 hp at 11k rpm but they tuned it down for reliability. Don’t matter how fast you are, just how long your survive. 24 hour races are grueling

@@leneanderthalien it ran 408kmh. But officially they made it 405 to promote the Peugeot 405. Actually the Saubers ran faster, but the speed was not measured. Drivers of the Sauber said it ran as fast as the Peugeot. Only the latter one ran a few hours. Not 24 hours.

He didn't.. but he drove a Porsche 956 in 1984... but he deemed it to be 'too slow' for his taste.

Felipe Rodrigo no Lola t92 Judd v10

Slipstream ofc

And 767B was naturally aspirated too

the fastest in the Hunaudières was the WM P88 with a superchartged Peugeot PRV6 engine (415km/h)

analyste It was 405: www.mulsannescorner.com/maxspeed.html And since it didn’t even finish, much less win, it was a pretty pointless exercise.
