GT Racing was flipped on its head in the mid to late 1990s...literally. This is a story about one of the most iconic classes to ever grace the Circuit de la Sarthe, GT1.

It seems like a large part of modern le mans history can be summed up in on sentence: "it went really well for [manufacturer] in [class], but then porsche happened and eventually everything became too expensive"

The perfect summary for pretty much every era of sports car racing. Nowadays in prototypes, Toyota has that honor

I thought LMH cars were supposed to bring back the spirit of GT1 cars. But as cool as they are. They don't really do that. They look more LMPish than GT1ish.

41 subscribers? That's too low considering this content! Really good video about a very interesting class. Its weakness was that the rules allowed one-off homologation specials that had little to do with road cars and that kept elevating costs (you've probably heard the story of the GT-One's luggage compartment). Even then, that's also the reason we got those crazy cars so hey, can't complain. It's 42 subscribers now.

@ShortTrackUpdate Ай бұрын

Thank you so much that means a lot! It’s kind of poetic that the 962 won the classes first outing, and the 911 technically won the classes final one

BPR came about as a result of a No. of competitors wanting to continue racing their cars. The FIA forcefully took over the running of the series changing its name to the FIA GT world championship. Untill GT3 became the ubiquitous category, GT racing had been in retreat since the demise of BPR, 30 odd years ago.

As sad as it was to see groups like DTM and GTE move to the GT3 platform, it is nice to have stability in sports car racing today

@gothicpagan.666 Ай бұрын

@@ShortTrackUpdate As DTM became a type of super saloon series, its costs became unviable, as with super tourers suffering the same fait. Personally I don't miss many of the HT classes, reasoning being; there were to many classes for the man in the street to understand

@ShortTrackUpdate Ай бұрын

That’s a valid take. I don’t think the racing quality has suffered much if at all. Current gt cars are very fun to watch, regardless of track or event

@rolux4853 Ай бұрын

@@gothicpagan.666funny how views differ. In my opinion the current GT3 overtake with its stupid BOP is what killed racing and makes it unbelievably boring. No need for good engineering and good drivers anymore. Just choose the cheapest car, the BOP will be adjusted accordingly and you’re able to win. I grew up on the sportscar racing of the 90s and it was so much more interesting! The number of fans left says everything, these days almost nobody attends the races anymore, even Le Mans is a shadow of itself. Back then the people sat in every tree possible to get a glimpse of what’s going on! The atmosphere was unbelievable!

One little thing, other than minimum production numbers, GT1 and GT2 in this era pretty much had the exact same rules other than tire and engine restrictor sizes, an example of that being the 1996 Viper GTS-Rs pretty much acting as a test bed for the 97 GT2 cars

not so sure about that, a 911 gt1 isnt quite the same as a gt2 ;)
