1998 was a landmark year for Porsche. The company celebrated its golden jubilee with its 16th overall win at Le Mans, but did so just a few months after the death of the great Ferry Porsche. The triumphant car, the 911 GT1 ’98, was special in many ways, as legendary race engineer, Norbert Singer, explains. State of the art at the time, it featured a Porsche first - a carbon fibre monocoque frame.
In this Porsche Moments at Le Mans episode, Timo Bernhard, a 2017 Le Mans champion, gets a tour of the 911 GT1 ’98 with Norbert as his guide. Timo then takes the car out on the Weissach testing ground to drive the legend itself.

Porsche has such a rich history! It's really amazing that the company takes the time to make these videos. Especialy when you have the legends themselves who were there at the time to help tell the story. Cheers.

Yes, what a beautiful endurance race car the 911 gt 1 was. Hard to believe this car is 25 yrs. Old . The design so forward thinking the car still looks relevant and modern today!

While I always absolutely loved the lines of the 962, this might have been their most beautiful. And livery was their best IMO! Such an amazing car! I still remember watching it dominate at so many tracks...

911 GT1... I remember how scared driving this car was for me, 7-year old, in NFS: Porsche Unleashed))) And then it was my favorite car in that game)))

@PatrickBautista_RR3Gamer Жыл бұрын

I remembered this car when I played Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed as a teen. It has the feel of a Le Mans Prototype car but with the performance of an RSR. That car in the game was a Strassenversion with a road-legal steering wheel.

The 'hey' in that opening song is sampled from _Firestarter_ (or the same sample they used if it was one there too) so a good subtle '90s reference!

GT1 is missed, and GTE/GTLM will be missed as well. It is crucial that we have a new hyper GT class at some point soon. Maybe Super GT could become a worldwide thing.
