Anyone wondering what NASCARs are doing at Le Mans: In 1976, the popularity of Le Mans was declining, so they decided to allow NASCARs to join the race. Sadly, none of them ever finished the race but it was an amazing thing to see!

@possiblycrazy4425 жыл бұрын
It's a good story to read up on. Both cars suffered from what I'd call "overseas teething issues." The Torino ran a few laps in competition but the Charger only completed a small handful. Supposedly this was due to the Dodge team not being able to acquire their desired fuel grade at Le Mans. This caused the premature failure of every engine they had brought from the United States. I believe the failure for the Ford may have been the transmission, but I'm not sure. If they had been given another chance the next year, I'm sure they would have done far better since they would've better known what to expect.

feel the torque 😋 ! why are they not using a 5 or 6 speed gearbox (the charger in this case) ? is it not allowed by the reglement ?
@coast2coast005 жыл бұрын
Completely guessing, but 4 speeds at the time would have been stronger, which they would need with the torque, and in NASCAR they would be using 2 gears only for the oval races((or even one) (besides pits)) so it wouldn't matter how many gears you put.

@cellphonelightsaber3 жыл бұрын
These cars can have only four gears because of torque from the huge 7.0L engines. A lazy, unrefined OHV V8 will never make much power relative to its size because it cannot breathe at high RPM. I have an old small block Ford and it stops making any more PS at 3750 RPM! It will spin to 5K, but it cannot do anything. The valves and pushrods bounce around and damages itself. But, because of the displacement, they will always have the torque to overcome long gears and heavy weights. This is why lazy eights do well in pickup trucks, even today. The relatively simple design can be assembled with inexpensive parts and run with considerable variations in tolerances, and yet, they'll happily run at low outputs for decades with maintenance. The scary part is when they *are* refined. Crazy OHV eights have heads made to breathe very well, and the valves, cams and pushrods to behave even at 7~8K RPM. Assembled with exacting tolerances, and race-proven parts, the same V8 design transforms into greatness. That way, these engines can reliably leverage the large displacement to make a lot of PS, while keeping its natural ability to make a lot of torque. www.hotrod.com/articles/ccrp-0810-302ci-small-block-ford/
