Yeah, I don't disagree. I came to watch the car, but was surprised to find that I actually admire the driver quite a bit as well.

@@Dawnseeker2000 how can he shift that thing so damn quick

I can agree more

guy has huge balls cause hes literally driving a monster

Like how can you not be goated when this is literally the car you're driving

combine that with the strait cut gears

​@@MyFatty69 and the turbos spinning wildly!

Original track 1.59.3 was pole in 1990

Dunno if youre still with us but this is the short gearing

@@bigd5899 then again there ain't no tc

​@@bigd5899Yeah, the "standard" gearing could easily push it to 390 kmh/240 mph.

im doing this @ 290 in asetto corza (sry, im not good at french)

Superb downshifting!

Wort!

You need to get out more.

+KalleKuemelich crazy...

Kalle i think its 2.5 seconds

Why not drive it? :)

Not the best brakes

Imagine if they built this car today. It would be even lighter and they could get more power from the 5L V8. I'm talking easily over 1000HP. More HP than F1. Considering the C11 originally had 850-900HP unrestricted...If they rebuilt the C11 to today's standards it would be terrifying fast.

Le mans hypercar speed so 5 seconds shedded of definitely not lmp1 speed. The lmp1 slander needs to stop.

@@jjnich4915 The aerodynamics would be way different. It wouldn't be recognisable.

@@Jesko. the aerodynamics could be whatever the team wanted. If it was modern aero then obviously 30 years of aero will make it work different. There is nothing stopping the team from slapping a low drag or longtail body on it! I'm just dreaming though.

Schumacher then proceeded to not only destroy him in F1, but cuckold him as well. I wonder if the Group C car suited his driving style more

Only one way to keep her in 4 wheels to push where she actually works best

Is a Race Car for LeMans they must be stable.😎

pretty sure he's not pushing the car over 110%

They had ground effect tunnels.

The cars produced a staggering 3 tons of downforce and in the end their lap times were the same as F1 cars of those times. So definitely both I'd say.

@@abdullahsalman9167 C11 made 2666kg of downforce at 200 mph.

Satan sold his soul to Mercedes just to drive it.

I kid you not I was scrolling to go make that comment

Probably the 787b but i guess thats an option as well 😂

@@BillPapakyriakou The 787b was much slower than this.

@@jayplexy5983 Then how come the C11 same 5th and the 787b 1st in the 1991 Le Mans?

Not really. The C11's predecessor, the Sauber C9, once hit 400 km/h. No F1 car has ever gone that fast in race trim. These cars have between 700 and 800 hp, depending on boost. The big thing is torque and the Sauber's torque was its best feature.

@@thethirdman225 Their advantage was that the downforce was stable ) Front and rear ) Second was that their fuel consumption was lower than the others due to that they are running low boost on this engine. Third was that the drivability of the engine was superior to the others. The tourqe cuve is flat from 3-7000 rpm.. Therefore they only needed a 5 speed gearbox

It would be slower.

TheThirdMan as long as it would reach 250 mph, I don't care about that.

MikeVonDoom It wouldn't go that fast at Spa. In fact, it didn't go that fast anywhere. In qualifying for the 1989 Le Mans 24 Hours, the Sauber driven by Kenny Acheson, was measured at 400 km/h (about 248 mph). The other Saubers were doing 385 - 390 km/h. Acheson did not get pole position this way so even with the 5.8 km straight, that top speed actually resulted in a _slower_ lap time than the car of Schlesser. The gearing for Spa would be completely different and I doubt it more than 320 km/h is possible.

250 mph is exactly 400 km/h

MDDeGrande1994 It's 248.548 but it's irrelevant. The speed trap at Le Mans has only ever been calibrated in metric.

Absolute bs that you're comparing a literal race car to a road legal car made for straight line speed. Sthu clown. Race tires. Better aero. Way better power to weight ratio. What do you expect?

Yeah i figure its not about speed , its about the fastest acceleration and braking

John Wilson :D

As if the El Nino would have a chance haha :D

Hypercar class is nothing to write home about, at least not this year. I think even LMP2 beats the C11 time. Now 2019 LMP1s would trash all of them with sub 2min.

@@mclarenf1gtr99 100% true. IMSA prototypes I think are much faster than hypercars at the moment, and nothing compares to the 919 or even the Toyota LMP1s after the 919 retired. Still, it's interesting to compare.

And now the gr010 and Ferrari 499p doing 2 min flat.

@@Jesko.True, but to be fair this is some good race car driver driving this car likely for some rich guy at a classic Group C race. Not only is the car 20+ years old, but they don't have a big manufacturer team working with them to make it faster either. All that being said put a Toyota or Ferrari hypercar at their max specs (520Kw and 1030kg) and they'd go well under 2 minutes.

Eh... I say anywhere around $19 million or higher

Infinite price, you have to match the price with Mercedes, it's an exclusive racing car.

Jonathan Arena About 8000

:facepalm

Most overused ridiculous comment over 😂

@@J.g00022 You mean your comment ? Thats totally correct :D

Nope. That’s it. Top gear is probably too tall for Spa. It should max out at around 320 km/h.

​@@thethirdman225normal gearing should push it to 380/390 kmh, 240 mph easily.

@@achilleconte4385 Not at Spa and certainly not ‘easily’. The Sauber used the high downforce setup at Spa, which produced about 30% more downforce than the one they used at Le Mans. Le Mans is the only place they used the low downforce, low drag aero package. Straight line speed is not that important at Spa, except up the hill on the Kemmel straight and that is not long enough for this car to get to 400 km/h. It might get to 300, maybe 310. But not 400, not at Spa.

@@thethirdman225 I agree with you, the low drag it's a useless setup at Spa, but the car itself is capable of much more than 310.

@@achilleconte4385 Not at Spa. That’s the point. There is no point claiming it could have gone faster in a straight line at Spa when there is nowhere on the track for it to do so.

Group C cars were not made for massive power outputs. It was a fuel allocation - i.e.: _fuel economy_ formula. Rumours of 1,000 hp are everywhere but they are mostly exaggeration. This car put out about 720-730 hp on 1.9 bar boost.

@@thethirdman225 they're not an exaggeration, but rather what power output they could achieve in qualifying trim. It was not uncommon for teams to crank up the boost to the absolute maximum for a few laps in qualifying to maximise top speed on the straights to try and edge out a laptime. In race configuration the 1000hp setting would chew through too much fuel and screw up their pit strategy, not to mention the reduced reliability of the engine from the added stress.

Overall the M119 was rated for about 950 horsepower unrestricted, which would be fine for qualifying but not for full race spec. During races it'd run 730 to 850 horsepower

F1 cars make more drag.

But these seem to be all out speed demons fir a track car

Bruh this car was made more for the track than the Koenigsegg One:1 :) Also don't forget group c 🔥🔥🔥🔥
