Absolutely bonkers

No wonder it was outlawed back in the day😬

That time compared to the modern machinery is just incredible!

It almost looks like a cartoon, the way it changes direction doesn't look right for a vehicle that size. Incredible machine

Love that car, but the Porsche GT 3 Cup did bring also a big smile on my Face.

@TheFastAndThe Dead yeah they had between 500-650 depending on conditions. this one was rebuilt as a tribute in 2002 if i were not mistaken. with 1200bhp.

Yup, to set a time like that with brick like aero, means mega horsepower.

@TheFastAndThe Dead That makes Jake Hill a super hero if he can beat Tom Kristensen in a 2019 600+bhp Audi R8 GT2, driving geriatric touring car with only 500bhp.

@TheFastAndThe Dead I'm not a Skyline nut, but Hill/Godzilla combination was the highlight of this event.

Tipping my hat to Hill in the Nissan for driving it HARD!

lol I know!!!

I mean Tom Kristensen drove 2 different cars. The board is so confusing.

Or both

King drove that like a monster! What a lap !!

Yeah! That caught my attention like MAD! PORSCHE! WOW!

D:

Not the fastest but wow, the commitment was immense! 👌

Being the owner of a GTO, I really love the racing sedans, hope to import one some day 😃👍

Back in the day... even catching a small bit of T.V. coverage to see this era Trans Am SCCA car was Rare.. I'll say I never grew up with Ford's.. Pontiac and Chevy mostly.. but that Mustang Race Car looked the Best.. just Awesome looking even Now.. Oh and I will have a Vintage Pontiac someday, for now I'm classic 68 Dodge Dart daily driver.. peace

Calsonic GTR in my opinion. Car was wild and fast as hell.

@@AtZero138 if you liked that check out this car! 1995 Corvette GT1 C4 ZR1.

@@TheBlkzenki yeah. its pretty dank

tru

No sound tho :,(

So true. Thats a natural born driver.

It's stuff like this that makes you think when your seniors tell you "it used to be better back in my day", they were probably right 😂and as young ppl we scoff, but now we can actually see the same thing happening before our eyes. The generation in 2050 will have electric whsitling cars everywhere on road and race cars. We may tell them "natural combustion was better becuase it had character" (sound familiar? lol) and they'll just say "but these are faster and look cooler, plus less people get hurt so your argument is invalid". I feel old already 😂.

@@koraxi8958 There are serious EMF health concerns with EV's ... it's best to make an educated decision based on facts not emotions ...

Yee

I don’t care if people want an electric car to drive to the store but that sh*t has no place in motorsports. This Mustang thing is a slap in the face to every person who ever bought a Mustang because they love Mustangs. Which is millions of people. Electric ok but turn it into a SUV? Just disrespectful and a disgrace. The people who okd that project should be ashamed.

Agreed.. as I've been told.. calling a tank.. might be, cause they are designed to Understeer.. and need to be thrown around to make anything near what's considered a fast corner.. I will say, that era of Nascar turned better then Any of the new era.. peace..

I can't say I agree. Compared to a 911 GT3 R, for instance, a modern Gen-6 NASCAR Cup Car is 20cm longer, 10cm wider, and 212kg (467lbs) heavier (1285kg vs 1497kg)! It's also got 4-piston brakes (vs. 6) and the brake rotors are 50mm smaller. Along with no hood vents, no wheelwell vents, no undertray, and no diffuser, I'm sure they're referring to driving characteristics as much as weight or mass.

@@daedalus_20v The Modern NASCAR tracks moving towards Cornering .. RoaVal.. I don't like the name.. but that's whatever.. my hopes are that Next Gens become more Australian V8 Supercar racing.. I can hope.. peace from Southern California..

@@AtZero138 I'm not a NASCAR fan exactly, but my dad was for 30-something years so I sort of grew up with it. I always enjoyed when they ran Watkins Glen or Sears Point. Short tracks like Bristol, etc. bore me to tears. I'd be thrilled if NASCAR indeed integrated more road courses into the program and moved towards a more Supercar-ish style of car. That's not to say they don't take skill to drive as-is (certainly way more than it appears to the casual observer), but I think oval racing in general... it's just kind of getting obsolete. It's really hard to gain new fans when the internet makes everything accessible and NASCAR at least _looks_ super boring to non-fans in comparison. In the 90's, you turned on the TV... if it was on TV, you saw it. If not, tough luck. Nowadays I can watch IMSA, GT3, Le Mans, BTCC, F1, Supercars, WRC, Moto GP, hillclimbs, drifting, rallycross, stadium trucks, etc. all on my laptop. NASCAR doesn't have much of a draw besides "hey look at this big crash!" or "hey look at these two guys fighting" and that gets old after a while. Watch virtually ANY Goodwood race and it's a thrill a minute, even with 100 year old cars going 50mph! I actually did a ride-along at AMS some years ago, 165mph down the straightaway. The sound, the heat, the smells. Amazing. Visceral. Unforgettable. I'm *_1000%_* sure that drafting on a super speedway at 200mph is a butt-clenching experience unlike anything else, but _watching_ it on TV? Eh. It's like watching a 747 fly over. You know the thing has to be going 500mph, but from the ground it's just kind of... eh.

Because they're ignorant.
