Please do! If you don't use that title I'll be disappointed. 😂 The 917/30 was probably the fastest. I mean, they are said to have peaked at 1500hp! This was a couple of years later tho, and it benefited greatly from race experience and development of the platform. The Toyota 7, and to a lesser extent the Nissan r383, were definitely pioneering trailblazers in turbocharging this massive engines for monstrous power and stuffing them in tiny featherweight cars.

Could you please do an episode on the Toyota 88C-V.

Porsche

The Porsche 917/30 Can AM for sure.

Hard to tell. The Turbopanzer came a couple of years after the Toyota 7 and had more brute power, but I think the 7 was much lighter? Still, could you imagine the two of them side-by-side on a Cam-Am grid? Wow.

Worse in the 50s and 60s. Hell watxh 1930s indy crashes

Indeed but it must have been crazy to live that life back then . Paradise for carguys !!

@@maitreyoda7404 if being a carguy ends up with the death of someone then i'm no longer a carguy

People at that time was like: "safety equipments are just extra weight, we just wanna go vroom" lol

@@marcosulla you do understand that logic can be broken easily correct?

Thank you so much, these kind of comments are the one that pushes us to keep going and improve our contents everytime! Thank you for the support!

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Kinako Sakurakoji tested this TOYOTA 7 lately.

@@PaulRudd1941 thank you so much! 💞

I know right? When i heard that i was shocked aswell as you. Motorsport in the 70s wasn't the definition of safety, but damn...

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA the 70s and 80s were the deadliest years for motorsport, but by far the 70s were the darkest age

@@aid2381 I agree, and this isn't even the darkest story out there. There are way more obsure facts from the same years, and some of them are so dark that we don't even think it is ideal to make some videos about it. Too sensible contents

Me too me too

Me too

Thank you for the comment! :) I agree that the 70s were one of the craziest period in terms of experimentation and crazy formulas! We were discussing it on another comment and it's impressive to believe how fast the technology was advancing at the time

Yup You know it and it doesnt add up. Lotus flower....

Thank you so much for the support! Let's keep pushing altogether mate ;)

Yep, those years (With the exception of Group B which developed more in the 80s) were some of the craziest in motorsport for that. Luckily, in the next generations, safety became an important factor to take into consideration 🙏

I was a great Can Am fan and saw many races. They said of the rules: 4 wheels, 1 engine and 2 seats. Otherwise, "run what you brung". The Chapparal vacuum cleaner car seemed to even break the one engine rule.

WRC today is boring

@@hafizmalik2466 really? I wouldn't call it boring, but.i get what you're saying.

Wow what a great story! It's always an amazing experience when you share this kind of passion with the persons you care the most! Really happy for you, and happy you liked the video! :)

You are so right! The TS010 especially, despite not having a great success like the 905, was one of the most aggressive aerodynamic approach seen in a car of that kind so far. I mean 905 was nothing less, but the TS010 had this kind of charm... I don't know, it's special you know

Group B monsters is another big one. Like those things were often nearing as fast as track cars. Like Lancia Delta S4, 890 kg, tubular frame, carbon fibre and kevlar silhuette body, 550 HP twin charged engine, all wheel drive,. This all down narrow mountain roads at times. Oh and apparently 550 hp was the "this engine is supposed to last" tune. On bench pushed to max with higher boosting it could make 1000 hp. Some of the end of stage and during race week end interviews are telling from that era. World best rally drivers from all around the world going, publicly, to camera: This is insane. Stuff like "how are you looking forward to next stage? I'm already fully exhausted, we shall see". This from seasoned rally driver used to long stages and touring. Just after few stages going "my mind is mush, my back is mush, my arms are mush"... oh by the way and still two stages to go today. "How was the stage? I don't remember anything about it". This few minutes after coming to finish line, since that was how jarring it was. Too many corners too fast, too many jumps too fast. Split second mistake didn't mean just losing time and race position, it meant at minimum serious injury, likely even death. "We are all exhausted. This isn't racing any more. This is something else, i don't know what. However bosses want us to drive, so we drive. This will not end well." They were right. Again this from seasoned professional people who knew "speaking ill of the car, team or the brand is a career: no, no".

@@aritakalo8011 that predates carbon fibre outside of black ops aerospace the bodywork would mostly consist of fiberglass and Kevlar

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA The Peugeot engineers at that time saw the TS010 to be the superior chassis, despite the 905's untouchable success.

@@fbboringstuff It was in use, but rare and expensive. "In 1981, McLaren MP4/1 first used carbon fiber monocoque. By 1986, the first bicycle carbon fiber frame was produced by Kestrel." Which made it such a big deal. It was among one of the first applications of carbon fiber, which shows the level the car was produced. They used the most expensive and recently come to market processes to make the car happen.

Damn i'm blessed to read these comments, thank you so much for real!

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA "Weird.....look?" Now I definitely can't wait for that, definitely gonna turn on the notification bell.

Hehe, thank you! We will make some little spoilers in the future days on the community tab ;)

There were no such things as racing cars in the 19th century.

There's always one kid that compares it to a computer game.

​@@hacktheplanet.The fact you expect people to automatically know about a car from the 70s shows your arrogance. You want a medal for hearing about it that wasn't from a video game?

@@euphoriaggaminghd Stop crying Turk, how's your sister? I mean wife.

I mean the Toyota 7 was probably the definition of no control, too much power/torque for a light car that can barely keeps the road with its primitive downforce. Crazy concept for real.

Well it can work on modern cars,too bad they didnt know what is active aero or traction control etc.

I watched many, many Can Am races - we made any track within 12 hours drive of Toronto, Canada. The cars were surreal lightweight monsters with huge engines and absolutely minimal rules - literal ground shakers. It will forever be my favourite racing series. The Bruce and Denny Show forever!

And hockey pucks for tires, they were the limiting factor.

@@coldlakealta4043 My gut says you would have loved a Turbo McLaren M20?

I agree! The Toyota 7 was absolutely mental. I often wonder if some sim/racing game is going to add it, it would be good to have an idea of how that car behave on the track. Also, thank you! :)

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA it's in a Gran Turismo game

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA gran turismo has it

@@yeahitskimmel It's in GT4, GTPSP, GT5 and GT6, and not only that, the footage at 4:06 is a replay from GT6. It'd be nice if it got remodelled and added to GT7 though!

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA you used footage from GT4 in your own video.

Thank you for your support aswell! Really appreciated! :)

Thank you so much, your support is extremely appreciated! :)

its, not it's

@@michaelanderson7715 * it's

@@GofaqYusef WRONG

@@michaelanderson7715 😈

Thank you so much for your support, for real! Ridge Racer and generally Namco games of that period are one of my biggest inspiration! I really hope you will enjoy the upcoming videos, next one incoming on October 13 ;)

Thank you so much for the support! We really appreciate that

Thank you for the support! :) I also agree, would have been fascinating to see that car on the track. A part from occasional track days in Japan, i don't think there are many different opportunities to see that beast in action :(

So, what's your point?

Thank you so much, your support is really helpful and appreciated for everyone in the staff! :)

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA see you on the podium 👊

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! :) If you are into racing games, you can drive this beast on Gran Turismo 4, 5 and 6 (of course just virtually, but at least you can have some fun with it). I don't know for other titles, but that's it for GT!

Thank you :)

Thank you! YES, that was my real first inspiration when starting the channel. I love Namco and the late 90s PS1 games they produced

The video Started with Ace Combat 7 OST that is a Namco franchise

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA I loved the use of Ace Combat 4 soundtrack near the end

It’s Jak X music isn’t it??

Thank you! :)

Thank you! :)

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Toy Fan though, Granted, so a tad bias :)

Why not! The living rotary legend from Japan surely needs a video! Thank you for the suggestion ;)

Hehe thank you, hope you'll love also what comes next ;)

Definitely! A video about these two icons might be gold! Thank you for the suggestion!

I watched the various Chapparals, including the vacuum cleaner car, at many Can Am races through the prime of that series - always great cars beautifully engineered. The sound of the vacuum cleaner car was unreal - you got the thunderous V8 with the little snowmobile engine screaming away on top of all that. Truly a unique car.

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! :)

No thankyou man, you've solved my boredom! Hope this takes off!

Wow, thank you so much! The legend in person! I don't know how to react to this comment as I've always followed your channel and I've been in love with your videos/narration style! Definitely you are one of the content creators i respect the most, so thank you for your support! :) Looking forward for your next contents! ;)

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA I'm honored to hear that! I still feel like a very very small fish in this sea, and love seeing what others are doing in the space. Your use of graphics, your vocal tone and your music energy are all top tier friend, I'm as excited about seeing where you go, as you are me. PS. Enthusia was my JAM back in the day.

We both have a long way to go to develop our projects for sure! But i'm sure that doing what we love, this path will be an amazing adventure! ALSO WOW, Very few people out there knows Enthusia, you are a person of culture for knowing it ;) It's also been a pleasure to talk with you, have a nice day and good luck for your next videos!

THANK YOU INSTEAD FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Yes but the 917/30 has been developed 3 years after that, at the peak of Can Am Series. And the 1580 Hp were purely theoretical, as there was no way an engine of that kind could withstand so much turbo pressure without blowing up. The Toyota 7 Turbo should be compared at least with the 917PA

@@ALS_HRZN the point is that porsche drove with 1,000 hp

Well, it would have been cool to see the two cars actually compared on the racetrack. Unfortunately history went a different way :( Nevertheless the 917/30 was probably even more crazier than the Toyota 7

Hehe, never stopping the Ace Combat reference ;)

HEHE, i don't know Hunters Moon channel, going to watch some videos later. I know Countreefus instead, not personally, but he's a really good storyteller and deserves the boom he is having right now. I really hope he will keep improving every time and never stop making videos! SHOUT OUT TO HIMKJSJDKSA

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA gotta check out hunter. He's amazing.

Thank you! ;)
