Great video as always, love hearing about the racing monster of the WSC. 1 thing though, Peugeot only supplied Mclaren for 1994 in F1.

peugeot somehow manages to occasionally interrupt their production of boring, reasonably average cars and produce some of the most legendary machines motorsport has ever seen, a truly unique company

Weirdly enough I actually do love the look of those peugeots!

Small correction, the Le Mans speed record the WM P88 Peugeot set is 407km/h, Peugeot however claimed it as 405km/h to advertise their 405 road car.

If the 905 through the evo 1 and evo 1B look like they are from the lmp1 class rather than early 90’s gr. C and that is just what i think is so friggin cool about it, it was so advanced it STILL looks modern!

In an interview in 1999, after winning Le Mans for the 4th time, Dalmas stated that the 905 was the best car he had ever driven.

I absolutely love Peugeot, I grew up with my dad having a Peugeot 505 station wagon, then he bought a 405 t16 station wagon and it blew the normal Mercedes, Audi and BMW drivers away. I guess my dad was just a really good driver. Unfortunately someone decides to smash this car up by forgetting to break. Then he got a Renault Espace v6, oh my that van was fast. But when the new series came out he got a Peugeot 106 GTI, us kids where grown up then and he didn't need a big car anymore.. what a hooligan that vehicle was. I miss Peugeot making good cars, I would buy one if they had anything great now. Thanks for the memories 😍

6:50 fun fact: the Aero of the Supercopter was made by Dassault and was so far ahead of it's Time that Bentley literally copy pasted the design on their speed 8.

The 905LM to me is the most beautiful race car ever built. The low front and narrow wind screen with scalloped sides just always looks amazing even to this day. Race care perfection especially with the screaming v10.

that evo 2 905 really looks like a modern lmp car. it reminds me of the audi r8 that dominated le mans for so many eyars

The 905 evo is a dream to look at Reefus! I love the combination of futurism with the elegant bodywork. Also more wing is more vrooom, right?

Bernie Eccelstone destroyed Group C

4:47 Nah it’s a beautiful race car one of the most beautiful tbh. The fact that it looks so radically different than other cars of that era is one of the main reasons it’s so beautiful. Plus, everything plus the cockpit and behind is just perfection.

The WM-P88 is so absurd that might be worth its own video. The main goal of the car wasn't winning the race, but setting the speed record at Lemans, they were aware of their Twin-Turbo V6 being nothing but a mere glass cannon. The car only ran for a few laps, but it was enough to set the speed record and their mission was accomplished. The funny thing is, even if the official speed record clocked the WM-P88 at 407 KM/H, Peugeot said it was 405 KM/H. Why? In order to match with their new 4-door saloon, the 405 and use it as a publicity stunt. Also, the rear wing of the 905 is super cool, it looks so unique.

I unironically love the design of the revised 905 ahah. It's super modern for its time, looks very nimble and has some unique shape language to its body I find aesthetically pleasing

This is my favourite Le Mans-winning car. I love the styling. Always have. At the 2022 Le Mans race I bought a postcard of an illustration of this car as a memento. it was the only thing I could afford to buy! The other mementos were two pieces of confetti (one blue and one gold), debris from the Sunday Ferrari crash at the Porsche curves, and some rubber I pulled from the final curb on the track.

Honestly half the reason I love your channel and watch every video is because of the gran turismo background music and fits the whole motorsport story telling theme amazing

The 905 is a fabulous car. What people often forget is peugeot have built many amazing cars over the years

Good job. Ive been in love with Le Mans for over 20 years. Cant wait for 2023!

Your videos are awesome. Growing up with the Gran Turismo games I fell in love with cars, espcially 90's JDM and Group C cars. Glad I've found your channel. Cool and not so long videos. Great job! You definitely deserve more attention.

I remember the 905C back in Forza Motorsport 2 and how recognizable the car was with its double wing and sleek design. It is still my favorite proper race car ever.

love the look of the early 90s group c cars, super futuristic for the time, gread video as always!

You should do a video about open and closed top prototypes. It has gone back and forth a few times and I have never been able to figure out exactly what rules governed the trends. The best I can tell in the 1960s and earlier it was pretty well up to the manufacturer with open tops becoming more common in the late '60s and early '70s then suddenly Group C and IMSA GTP were all closed cockpit with a return of open top cars in the late '80s early '90s only for them to go away in the 2010s. I really like open top cars and would love to see them return but I don't think we ever will. Anyway I think it would be a good subject for a video.

absolutely love group c, Mercedes Sauber c9 and c11 are my favourites

The Jaguar XJR-14 and Peugeot's 905B evo2 are Group C's best looking cars ever. And they are as fast as they are beautiful. Solid thanks Tom ✊🏽

What I love about this car's design is that it pretty much predicted the modern prototype race car design with it's giant wings and overall weird boxy design.

it’s actually crazy you said that this is one of the best looking Group C cars ever made.

I like your channel. This was a nice video, thanks!

Really glad I found this channel. I love your videos!

I love the classic gran turismo shop/prize car ost in the background

For some reason being an absolute boss at the last possible moment after everyone elses has stopped caring sounds very Peugeot

The supercopter looks like a modern LMP1/LMH!

Always liked the look of the Peugeot especially with spats. The only new car our family had was a 1960 Peugeot station wagon here in the States. Learned to drive in that car with its column shifted four speed.

Love the 905, especially the B with that wacky wing that I just can't help to admire. It looks like it makes the car longer like the 'long tails' of old. Thank you for telling the that the engines were derived from F-1 rather than just being bolted in F-1 engines.

First video = like Second = subscription Third = bell Great content!

Awesome video with all the old race footage of the car,I remember racing this car on Gran Turismo 4 and Gran Turismo 6.Brings back memories.💯✌🏻

Great video, i for sure learned a lot! America doesn't have Peugeot, but they are so legendary! Glad you made this one, keep it up!

The 905 Evo is the most beautiful Group C car ever in my opinion.

Such visually in style beautiful and modern looking car

McLaren only used Peugeot power for the 1994 season before the Mercedes era. Jordan used them for 95, 96 & 97 before switching to Mugen-Honda

The reason why it beat the TS010 was because of power... The aero on the TS010 was on another level, it's even more efficient than a Porsche 919 Hybrid. What a marvel.

The most beautiful car in my life And content 😉

For me there are 2 reasons why the Mazda stands out. The noise of the thing. I SAID THE NOISE OF THE THING. and of course JOOOOOOHHHNNNYYYY Herbert. The greatest F1 driver of all time :)

Another great video

Great footage and commentary again. Thank!

Awesome video. Feeling the same about the car although the double rear wing is cool and the Evocopter looks amazing. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the correct prononciation of Le Mans and avoiding the infamous "leumah"

I think it looks stunning.

I think the 905s are some of the best looking Le Mans cars of all time. The silk cut xjr-9 is the most beautiful and so is the Bentley Speed 8

This videos are awesome!

0:50 the P88 set 407 kph speed record But they advertized it as 405 for the newly released Peugeot 405

Love Group C and miss it.....they say a gentleman can never be a beast or a monster.....that's before they seen and raced the Jaguar XJR-9

4:44 well i think it sbeautiful together with the c9/11, 956 and the 905 evo were the most beautiful cars in group c 🤠

1st class content 🥂

Wait DASSAULT LIKE THAT DASSAULT? THE FUCKING MIRAGE

New viewer love this channel

Fantastic video as always, love the cheeky lines as well lol.

I think the 905B is beautiful - looks a bit like a spaceship.

I always loved the design of these Peugeot 905. The first one is the classiest, the Evo is years ahead, like an LMP1, and the Supercopter just is the most bonkers spaceship. It really would have become a legend and changed history if it hadn't been canned.

Love Peugeot!! Great video mate! Hope yall are going to watch 8hrs of Bahrain this weekend. Happy racing everyone.

Another cracking video! Wonder if you could do a video on the Pikes Peak Pennzoil Celica, that'd be interesting 👌

Thanks for the Gran Turismo OSTs,

It is absolutely beautiful , it looks like a cute cartoon cat 🐱 which fits

Good video but I have to pick you up on a historical point. The driving force behind the 3.5 litre class was not Bernie Ecclestone, it was Jean Marie Balestre who was head of the then motorsport governing body FISA until 1991. At the time of group C's demise, Bernie Ecclestone was the head of FOCA, the Formula One Constructors Association and had no control over sports cars.

enjoyed this story.

I love the video that you make bro, great explain for le mans fans

Supercopter indeed one of my all time le mans design car, it's classic yet futuristic at the same time

I don't view the 905 as classically beautiful, I view it as very emblematic of a period of sports car racing that was completely bonkers. That alone makes it beautiful, in its own way.

This is probably my favorite cer in F7

Still one of the most beautiful race cars ever and the sound is just awesome .

That 905 is sick,Ngl Next should be the mazda mxr1,please.

The 905 is the perfect example of how literally military grade LMPs really are. If all our global conflicts could be solved through endurance racing, Le Mans would be the event to host it.

The Gran tourismo soundtrack was a nice touch

Easily the most beautifull groupC car ever

Omg I didn’t see the other videos on your channel but if they are as good as this one you’re going to be my favorite motorsports guy

The quality of your thumbnails is amazing

"So bad that only 3 manufacturers competed as factory teams" *Cough Cough* WEC since 2018

I want to pick out the WM car in 1988 did 407 km/h. Peugeot marketed it was 405 km/h to help sell the then relatively new Peugeot 405

One of the best sounded racecar, this V10 is a masterpiece. Personnaly, I love the style of the car, maybe it's biased because i'm French 🙃

all that exhaust/burnt fuel @0.25 is fucking glorious

Correction: Peugeot didn't supply McLaren until 2000. They only did it in 1994. From then on, McLaren used Mercedes engines. Peugeot did, however, supply other F1 teams, like Jordan and Prost. About the 905B, I think it's one of the most beautiful cars that ever raced at Le Mans.

I think they look beautiful.

The 905 evo II looks remember the today's LMP cars,

Enjoyed muchly

God I love that era of racing.

This man doesn’t miss. Amazing as usual

Back in the 80s motor sport was like the wild west. The rule where just there to be smashed to bits with loop holes. Every person involved at the time always want to bring up that era it must have been a great time to be a driver, engineer, boss. Regardless of the bad bits like ending up in a fire ball.

It was Ecclestone's goal to destroy Group C, and he pulled out all the stops to get rid of the competition.

Strange that Peugeot finally dialed in the engine reliability, yet with Jordan in 3.5 litre F1 era, their engines were like grenades.

I like the car, it looks similar to other group c cars during the 1991 season though.

As Enzo Ferrari once said, “Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.”

The XJR14 was so good Porsche bought 1 and reverse engineered it. 😆

I remember this car from Grand Trasmo

It's fair to say that Peugeot copied that 2-tier wing design straight from the TWR Jaguar team. Keke Rosberg said that TWR copied the 905 for their XJR-14 so appropriating their 2-tier wing was just business. Of course, the two cars didn't resemble each other much especially at the start of the season so Rosberg's accusations were pretty baseless.

Just to put the emphasis on who designed the body of the car, Dassault, those who made the french airforce main fighter jet for 50 years now, it's like if an american indycar was design by lockeed Martin...

For me 905 is the most beautifull group C

I loved the look of the 905b. It looked like a zspaceship compared to most of the other cars

I always thought the first 905 looked awkward and a bit old fashioned particularly compared to the Xjr14 from the same year. It reminds me of some of the cars that ran in the early days of group c that look like they belong in the previous decade, like the first WM's and the old Rondeau compared to the 956.

the best looking protype ever

905 is most beautiful C car , I thing better then other , that have quite classic design
