theres plenty of footage, id rather know how they feel and behave, rather than just speculate or wonder. i only have my childhood scalextric car to judge the behaviour of the porky and Lola by, and not even that for the Ferrari. Though my toy Lola was of that exact car, so is that enough? in your opinion?

Don't be negative. It's a great history piece. Not meant to show Dario's driving

I was hanging on his every word, but yeah , another 20 minutes of track footage would not have gone amiss..

What an egomaniac you must be, to assume that you speak for "almost everyone who watches these videos."

@@asknotwhatucan9951 but, he's right. Less music, more motor. Always.

Let those pipes sing

PLEASE!

100% agree. I prefer the sound of the cars over royalty free music....or any music for that matter.

Lets not forget Trans Am racing. I attended a 1969 Trans Am race at Bryar Motorsports Park in N.H It was the most thrilling event of my entire life.

For me it was the early 1980s. There are so many great stories from those days and so many of the cars still survive. I guess it will always be a choice between those two eras though.

I completely agree!

Agreed whole heartedly

@@thethirdman225 Agreed, as a reference point I've tried explaining, to those who were too young to live through the 80's, about Group B Lancia S4 cars that could put in respectable F1 lap times for qualifying.

I watched ever great driver in every great car at Riverside raceway, and no one went faster than Steve MC queen, in a 908 Porsche..up the esses, turn one thru 6. I went to the first race in 1957, and the last one, and even drove the circuit in a formula ford car race car.

If this one is scary, I can't even imagine how the full power 917/30 was, with 1500hp 🤣 I can't believe all 6 chassis are still with us.

Ferdinand Piech took a page from the NASCAR teams, finding a way to get around the rules and create a world beater with the 917s! It was a gamble, which paid off, essentially making Porsche the sports car dominant at LeMans for decades to come. With it they finally won it outright. Great car.

1500 horseporschepowers - legend

Nailed it ! every motorsport vid these days is ruined by music when we, the people who watch this stuff, want to hear engines, do you get this producers ???

I'm a music producer and would never put music, especially crappy music, on a video that deserves to be heard naturally.. like this one. Too bad. I pass on this video.

Strat Cat Damn did you really have the chance to be the music producer for this video??

Ftu hub

needs more stable shots of them just driving tbh

Perfect comment! Absolutely perfect

Hear! Hear! (meaning I agree with that comment and don't want to hear muzak while the engine is running. No muzak while Franchitti is speaking would also be nice).

Ah, the current T70 isn't a replica. It is a continuation.

@@cdjhyoung the one in the video is an original T70 mk3b

Dis. Just stfu for 2 minutes and let us here the cars.

MotoGP. dot com and loads of others stuff up reports with background noise garbage which you can't mute. DJs should stick to clubs.

Agree!

yes please

Agree 100%. How can you make a video about probably some of the best sounding racing cars ever and then turn up the music as soon as we see them being driven?! Come on Motorsport!

Same, but in 1997.

i'm pleased and surprised at the several 'secret' admirers of lola t70's in the comment. nostalgic, and artistic-emotional winner. i hadn't known so many felt the same as i, and you.

@@carlcushmanhybels8159 For sure, for sure. I even had a '71 Chevelle Malibu (sadly an unfinished restoration project) that I named 'LOLA'. (^_^) Best regards.

Excuse me, that would be real music!

I have no problem with the music. I do agree that the video needs to be longer. Much longer.

But there's already incredible music made by these amazing automobiles.

​@@davidbirch9984If there is music, its should be the same age as the cars.

and Chaparral.

And the infamous 917-30

I’m sure even he would still shit his pants driving an M8F

TheMightyAntar for chrissakes man we’re trying to get him back into the car, not scare the ghost out of him

Bullshit. He's driven 1,000 hp cars before.@@mrsiravarice

me too, i've always loved the t70's looks and style and sound. in historic racing, t70's are doing better than they did in their original time. at least lola t70's won 1 year of can-am, '66 or '67 i understand. love the looks and sound of the 917 too; though i recognize their dangerousness . like feet ahead of the front axle. t70 has been a sentimental favorite. revealing that dario franchitti liked driving it/ felt more comfortable in it than the other two.

the Ford F3L/P68 built by Alan Mann was a beautiful car but it was not competitive at all.

Amen

Ferrari P4, Jaguar D Type etc.

*Sports prototypes

well put sir.they make it seem almost like advertisement or something

Absolutely. Dario is a nice guy but we know him as a race car driver, not a broadcaster.

Well for me it was Pedro Rodriguez who was the outstanding 917K racer.. He must have literally had grande cojones.

@@labarone8910 You're absolutely right.

Pedro my all time favourite racing driver.

Unfortunately, Pedro died on Norisring track driving a ...Ferrari 512S ! Don't forget another great 917 driver : Joseph Siffert. And Vic Elford, Gijs Van Lennep, Gerard Larrousse, Leo Kinnunen ...

Didn't Jo Siffert lose his leg(s) in a collision while filming Steve McQueen's "Le Mans"?

Horace Debacle you’re right, they would. It’s just that some of today’s F1 drivers are manufactured just like the cars they drive. Without ever turning a wheel, they are told by their engineers what their lap times should be to within less than 5% error. They have access to the telemetry from all the other cars (as far as lap times go) and know where on the track they are faster/slower. They even know where the other drivers are braking and the precise location exiting a corner where the drivers apply full throttle. The tire engineers have data on the level of adhesion the different tracks provide , and a lot of the guess work that’s left for the drivers is sorted on a simulator. Of course if drivers from the 60’s had access to all this they would have used it, that’s the point I am trying to make. Take any one of today’s drivers and stick him or her in a Maclaren can-am car with the crappy brakes, tires, aerodynamics and safety they had in those days and strip them of the resources I mentioned above, you can’t possibly expect them to be as fast as a Denny Hulme? And it’s not just about ability or talent either. It’s about how oblivious they were to their own safety and still commit themselves 100% to their lap/race. Here in Canada we have the perfect example: Lance Stroll. His dad wanted him to be a race driver so he bought a race track (circuit Mont-Tremblant) and had a kart track built on the property. Then he hired the best instructors (from the U.K.) to train his son to help him hone his skills. When Lance was on his way to formula one, his dad bought him an F1 car from a few years before with all the resources available to him and paid for some track time at tracks all over the world to help Lance transition to F1. This surely helped Lance become a (ahem, nudge, wink) “world class” driver. Now compare that to Gilles Villeneuve. Enough said.
