the porsche looks twice the size, why is this

Louie Lambretta That's just how the production cars look, they don't really change much of the body design in gte pro so that's why.

is it a disadvantage being that much larger

Louie Lambretta yea, thats why there is BoP. Ford got way less boost.

lol same with the M8

mehdi ouerthi that battle last over 10 hours, insane

LMK Logistics !! That was amazing loved every minute of it

saving from what or who????

Anthony R. From being a snooze fest.

we will never see it again

@GT1 in lemans is nothing exciting this year because its canceled

@@Stellar-Cowboy they kept smoking porsche so no wonder why they left

@@Stellar-Cowboy I don't know man it always seemed to me like they were lacking a bit around 2015

Me too

Mine is probably gtlm

If it's not broken why fix it

facts ever since the somewhat modern porches they still all have the same shape and Big butt

I guess you mean how amazingly perfect the 911 was designed from the beginning.. In case you missed it, the 911 has more LeMans winnings then all Ferraris and Fords put together. Hell, I think you can even add more big name brands and it will still be way under their official confirmed victories for a single model car ever recorded. So yeah, that antique shape.. lol.

Check out the 904, 908, and 910 cars. Ford has been ripping off like Musk for decades

This is why I love more the old school style bodywork compared to the new ones with corners that look like knives.

fight ? Porsche was OP all the way. He didnt need draft. He simply drove next to him like he would have some hybrid extra power...

he was moving because he didn't want the ford to have the advantage of drafting. Porsche is the better/faster car.

TheMartzyanu Your ignorance of racing is almost as bad as your grammar. The FIA dictates who wins LeMans. Also the GT is VASTLY superior to the Porsche. The Porsche is....well an inferior engineering design from pre war criminals of the third Reich. The rules favored RSR this year. Your hate and ignorance is self evident. If you are capable do some research on the restrictions bestowed on the GT and Corvette vs the Porsche, BMW and Ferrari. This is not to take anything away from Porsche. To win this race is an accomplishment. Their record speaks for itself. Despite the restrictions on the GT the fastest GT had suspension issues from an incident with the Bavarian hordes. ALL the cars competing in this class are at the best representative of each manufacturer. If you do not like the GT so be it. To make such an ignorant statement is infantile, idiotic and ignorant.

​@@TheMartzyanu He wasn´t moving for the draft........... he was just being a dirty douchebag by cutting the Ford GT off the road.

@@jonathanbachman2339 It is alarming that most people DON'T see The dirty Move from porsche, They all THink he was "Properly defending" he was just being a Douche without sportmanship, They Dont Know anything about cars......... Ford GT is by far a better car, but this people is acting like Blinded Fans for porsche, I love them as well as a Car ENtushiast, But the moves for that Driver where dirt AF, and also, Porsche is becoming a Boring Brand, Not awesome sounds at all, and the dessing is turning boring.

Marti Davia the slipstreaming helped. This would be rare anywhere else

Thomas Manolis no it wasn't but the dirty part isn't in the video It just before the video when makowiecki waved 5-6 times from one side to the other on the hunaudiere. That's just bad driving standards period. It's a shame because the rest of the battle was great

theissen thomas Couldn't agree to you more. The Porsche team themselves knew it wasn't right, so they had an awkward and quiet interview afterwards in the pits, though I respect them by not strongly denying that everything was fair and right like possibly any team representative would do.

theissen thomas lol U think that’s blocking ford? Why ford is following Porsche from line to line? Porsche is trying to get ford off the draft and ford is trying to follow, that’s it.

S. Bourdais was a little ridiculous pussy, who complained about some idiotic moves, Porsche never did! He is just a very bad loser!

Even the commentators think the move was dirty.

apeltala nowdays F1 lost the excitement.

apeltala Not difficult..

Except when you consider the LMP1 class. Absolutely horrendously boring. At the moment of writing this, Toyota #8 has an entire lap on #7, and *10 laps* on the closest Rebellion. Really hope Audi and Porsche can make this interesting again in the future, because 10 laps shouldn't be the split from 1st to 3rd. Not even a 24 hour race.

Yeah only the GTE Pro. When you look at LMP1, then the F1 is a lot more exiciting. 2 Toyotas leading by 12 laps is just horrendous.

LMP1 is only boring because their no Audi, Porsche or Peugeot to fight Toyota.

Well, not even in the same postal code compared to the 911 when it comes to motorsport official victories. But yeah, cool car.

Ovidiu Diumea he didn’t get pushed off the track my dude. Marko is entitled to defend his position. Race hard or GTFO

@@jestertheslacker "race hard or gtfo".....your ignorance is evident.....what Makodicki did was not defending, it was pure garbage racing by pushing a car wide and almost off track. Defending is when you are ahead and you defend the the position by covering the preferred line.....maybe you should learn the difference between the two

it's called bop.....they had a favored bop then caught the safety car just right to further the lead. At least now(2023) that BS won't happen and the race won't be won by a lucky safety car catch.

Facts

Well, we have Le Mans Classic if I remember correctly. And putting those classic cars along modern ones will not be so safe because stuff unfortunately happens and you don't quite wanna lose those classics. Even tho stuff can happen at LMC but I want to think the drivers are a lot more careful with the old ones and also it's more of a throwback event, a race where you show off the cars more than race, than a race in a championship where you are really competitive and you give everything for a win no matter what

I would think so. Less stress given upon the time the car reacts

Incredible bop...

Well I have to agree, but the Ford has nearly the same engine

Ford got hit with more BoP. I think ford got 20 more kg and altered boost(less acceleration but better top speed) witch hit it pretty hard. In practice if I remember well ford had 4 cars in top 5.

Has stood the test of time w/o any major renovations.

John Cleek best drivers on the team and Kevin Estre, that guy is one heck of a pilot, not taking credit from the other drivers, everyone did a great job including Ford drivers, that battle was on edge

LMK Logistics !! Kévin Estre was driving a different car! lol (No. 92)

I think they made Ford add weight to it for being fast as fucc

Because Posrche was crying when it didn't like what Ford was doing. All it ever wanted was to beat Ferrari lol

@@Mark3nd source on that?

The Porsche 911 RSR will race 10kg heavier than it did in qualifying, after the two retro-liveried Manthey cars locked out the front row in class, while its nearest challenger, the Ford GT will race 8kg heavier. "benefitted"

@@Cafferssss 8 kg heavier.... also forgot to mention less boost too

yeah next year only 3rd lemans for the new gt

Jason Aims go drive your VW into a ditch bitch

Yeah, well because Porsche complained about the GT's, Ford was forced to add weight and lower boost so the Porsche Teams could keep up. Seems fair.🤣🤣

Well ford still has a faster lap time then Porsche and Porsche complained about ford GT

It's fair. Porsche has a N/A engine. Ford has a twin turbo-charged engine. So they forced Ford to put more weight and lower boost. Fair enough

Theodore Iliaskos My exact thoughts - 24 Hours of Baku.

bourdais trying to shove it down a closing door? The porsche also had to vacate the line he was on to give room to a lapping lmp car, you know blue flag and that. Granted the weaving earlier on was a little poor but none the less this was not dirty or verstappen like in any form.

Theodore Iliaskos again

Yup Yup It was my first time there and was an amazing experience. I will repeat it

nismofunes that is awesome! What else is going while the race is happening??

I can recommend bying a (camping) ticket for the Beauséjour area! Crazy parties and at close proximity to the Porche curves, with free entrance to the 'grand stand' right next to it!

Martin Kirkeby sounds like the experience of a lifetime. Ok I just decided, I’m GOING to 2020 24hrs of Le Mans. That’s plenty of time to get things in order to attend the event 💪🏽

Yup Yup i went by myself and set my tent next to the track at the Beausejour camping spot. Mistakenly I bought the ticket to camp there but you will not need any ticket to camp anywhere there unless you pull your car in at any of the camping spots You will see a lot of people having bbq and drinking over at the camping grounds. When you are there you HAVE to get a map so you know where are the viewpoints. There are buses that will take you to the viewpoints and run until 1 am. At night I suggest you go to the ferry wheel and climb. For me it was very exciting to see part of the track from the very top. Try to stay awake until sunrise and get in the ferry wheel again.!

Funny enough that's not what even happened, Porsche complained about Ford 2016 win and so they took away boost and added weight to Fords race cars because Porsche wasn't happy about it, even tho that's literally contradicting the entire point of building a better car.

@@raionshishi8290 you mean before or after Ford sandbagged?

StankBeast watch every second, last 10 hours were insane between them, just that driver change, I was stressed out all the time, but Porsche FTW
