400-410kmh

Old mulsane straight ❤❤❤❤ love the old lemans setup❤

Ma il punta tacco no?

249 mph was the unofficial record, Porsche 917. Officially 246.

You can learn what to do when a tire blowout happens in driver safety courses, and there are also race driving courses as well.

Lol

@Dane look at the gear indicator it always says 0

Lololol

REKCEP 😀😂😂😂

CVT!

Anya: that is just insane.

Once, 416kph with a WM powered by a Peugeot engine, in 1988. It was in a test drive. 405km/h in race.

Too easy if you're a good pilot.

It was actually 407. They said 405 to promote the Peugeot 405. ;)

Fraser Best race cars are more sensivel than street cars, so if you wanna be a racer, you need to know the control of your car practecing on other type of racing, and you need to know how is the track. thats why exist the qualafiting think

This is funny lol

If your a real car guy, you gotta love video games 😁🏁🏁

Well, if you play online in simracing you can reset nothing.

@@bestopinion9257 bruh its a joke

@@SeanCampbell_iRacing bruh?

Fun fact, the Mulsanne straight used to be fully straight and the bends had to be added because the Sauber C9 was consistently reaching 400 km/h

They thought about adding ballast, but the 100lb balls of steel the drivers had was enough :P

I was going to ask if that was the Mulsanne chicanes...

300 310 330 Kmh idk man

@@ashtonjames7166 340 km

Reflexes and reaction time are two different things. His reflexes can only improve so much, and the brain can only become so quick to process... he was expecting it, he knew the car well through that corner and tentatively got a little earlier trying to see if he could get away with it, then quickly adjusted. He must have read something before he felt the rear go, because that's just beyond Ayrton Senna reaction times....

Andres .C Great explanation, I like it even more now!

Hit the nail right on the head there. These cars are going so fast that you can't just go off reactions alone. These drivers know exactly how the car will react to the inputs it receives. He knew accelerating that early in the chicane would have a good chance of breaking the rear loose. So when it did, he was ready.

Andres .C Brandon Ryan Tiago Jorge Anything involving hand-eye coordination is, by definition, a _reaction_ and not a reflex, no matter how fast you are going.

TheThirdMan I know, that's what I said. It was a reaction not a reflex. A reflex is bumping your knee with a hammer and kicking in consecuence.

that explains why it accelerates like an out of control demon thats about ready to kill the driver yet the driver has full tame

Even though the Mercedes was either turbocharged or supercharged it had the sound of a big American or Australian V8

It looked like it maxed out at 330 km/h

Ben Ryder Yes, today. But back in the times it was in full condition and the Mulsanne straight was an actual straight without the chicanes, Sauber C9 reached 400 km/h in qualification, while ti was definitely a bit slower in a race mode, it still repeatedly reached about 380 km/h in the race, which is tremendous if you consider the fact it is a 24 hour race. Those C11s were even a bit faster then those C9s, but I don't know the precise number, maybe about 405 km/h. Nowadays, these cars are historics, they are still very fast but they never reach the speeds they did when they were in full condition. Real beauties and moster in the time

SRAMEK Yes yes. I know the old LM had a massive straight without the kinks. But the car looks like it is stuck between mid 320s and 330s due to the gearing or something.

Ben Ryder gear ratio

SRAMEK Ben Ryder Firstly, the C9 reached 400km/h _once_, driven by Kenny Acheson in 1989. Secondly, it did not happen at night. Not ever. This was the last time the old 5 kilometre straight was used. From 1990 onwards, chicanes were introduced and nobody has been anywhere near 400 km/h since. The highest ever top speed on the Mulsanne Straight by any car was the Peugeot WM88 in 1988 which reached 405 km/h. Anything about the C11 reaching 405 is speculation because it never raced on tracks where that sort of speed would be possible. The practical limit for this C9 would probably be somewhere north of 340 (which you can see just before the first chicane). The highest speed recorded in 1990 was a Nissan at 366 km/h, which is amazing considering how little distance they travel. There would be no point gearing them any higher. Even as it was, it would have taken probably 2/3rds or even 3/4 of the length of the old straight to get up to 400 km/h. The drag at that speed is enormous. For the record, the FIA no longer sanctions tracks with straight lengths over 2 kms.

kt35 pw fast and furious

Its manual didn't know that

@@luxuriousmindset1906 You can see driver with right hand change the gear.

Yeah, nowadays le mans cars are a total joke next to these

Julio Cesar all race cars are manual??

@@jacksonsims2685 old days yes, by now no one left

Julio Cesar every car in NASCAR is manual, every F1 car is manual, every Le Mans/WEC car is manual

Jackson Sims I guess he means it's an H shifter with clutch (no sequential stick, no paddle shifters).

David Aguilera if he means that then he would be correct but I don’t know if that’s what he’s talking about.

***** For sure!

In Assetto Corsa with the turbos turned all the way up, it's borderline undriveable below 4th gear. Absolutely badass machine.

Fav car in GTS from a pure enjoyment standpoint

Husaberg R Except its not

in real Group C race cars were pretty easy to drive race cars other than japanese games try to tell us... you need a easy to drive car if driver should push it over 24h too the limit or close to the limit... u can build a hard to drive endurance racer but the chances that it will be successfull tend to zerro... best way to judge that is to watch semi pro driver getting the chance to drive such cars ...they all tell you they are impressed how easy the Group Ccars are to control...that is exactly what you need if you drive 24h under hard competition. The less stress the car put on the driver the more energy he could put into driving at the limit without exhursting... the 787B is a good example how to make it wrong.... their lucky win at LeMans was so exhursting for Johnny Herbert in the last stin that he could not go to the podium to celebrat with the other driver the one and only victory of the car... the noise and heat level in the Mazda 787B was borderline suicid level...

Le Mans compared to NASCAR. Absolutely barbaric!

You idiot, many of the American cars like the Panoz was using a NASCAR engines.

Much higher RPM's. Much more interesting with left AND RIGHT TURNS and speed ups and slow downs.

garyhope2 Wrong- NASCAR engines actually rev much higher than this. The typical stock car redlines at ~9700rpm. In the 2014 season (when power wasn't restricted), they were making 950hp out of a naturally aspirated 5.8L PUSHROD v8, turning at over 10,000 rpm. You may criticize the tracks and the fans, but NASCAR engines are a wonderful thing.

I can't believe 212 mph, Jesus chirst that is a fast motor lol

This is in the top five for me easily. You should also check out Georg Plasa's BMW V8, Jozef Beres Audi Quattro 5cyl, and Mazda 787B 3-rotor flyby videos. Heres my favorite 787b flyby kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcpynLOLp6_XpGg.html

​@@followtheciaence4 rotor ;)

Much better than the glorified screaming F1 V12

It's a.close battle...really close battle.

Im pretty sure this might be the fastest lemans car of all time, this thing was just beyond powerful and agile. The c9 was already a monster but this c11 is a souped up c9.

+Augusto Ortiz totally agree with you 👍

S. W. 400, with the two chicanes ? Come on.

@Stefan W. It never did 407 km/h.

top gear would have been funnier if they all spoke like that lol

Auatralia 87, he lost the championship there, who goes to Prost.

Not a tire, he has blown an engine.

Blown engines dont steer you into the grass tho you can see he was going right even with countersteering

Eric Jarvis i did in need for speed carbon. Unbelieveable. It sounds literally the same. Wish i could find street legal like this.

more badass than that 1990 nissan r92cp and i noticed these cars were the fastest things i seen racing on the track unlike racecars these dats

+fargeeks those weren't race cars, those were devils on wheels!
