So just for info. The reason all Peugeots had to retire that year were the connecting rods. They have used Titanium connecting rods for the first time that year. Apparently some ex-Mecachrome engineers that joined Peugeot around that time, made a suggestion to use Titanium connecting rods because they had made some good experiences with Titanium conrods. For instance they used them for Formula 1 engines. The problem is though Titanium has a tendency to "Creep". That's an odd phenomenon especially known with light metals. Aluminium and Magnesium show this effect also. Creeping is a deformation of the material by mechanical stresses far lower than the actual yield strength. It happens faster with elevated temperatures. Elevated in this case means 100°C is already enough to accelerate the process severly. Now, what happend in the engine is simply that the conrods elongated to the point that the piston started to the hit the cylinder head. In F1 for instance the elongation was never a huge issue because the engine were taken appart after just a few hours of running and the conrods were changed. At the 24 hours of LeMans on the other hand...

Wow, Skaife actually keeps his gob shut for 30+ seconds at some stages!😆

The Peugeot looked so good

one more lap and moffat couldve gotten by frosty

These look faster than gen3 supercars

2005-2008 2010-2011: Audi destroyed Peugeot 2012-2014 Audi destroyed Toyota 2015-2017 Porsche destroyed Toyota this is German industry.

That was a great battle

I watched Peugeot’s unveiling and driver selection of the 9x8 hypercar here in 2021. Now I know why Loic Duval said he had unfinished business with the team. This is heartbreaking.

7 years later ,Toyota met the same fate

Audi R15. The most forgettable of all the forgettable Audis to dominate Le Mans. Only the R18 of 2011 and the original R8R of 1999 could be considered good looking cars (maybe the R8 in the GULF colours of Johansen's team). Some of the hybrids they sent to Le Mans in the last years before they pulled out were hideously ugly.

Moffat was flying

Sooooo great! Thx much for great ol' memories!

🐔💎ไฮย์💎Gk💎🐔

i love this track because it emphasizes how much these guys push it

Race 763

The 908 is a beast!!!

Race 763

I really think that Holden commodore and statesman are absolutely one of the best cars in the world!

Which track is that?

Вот что значит хорошие настройки авто

Do you have a link for this mod? :)))

I remember this weekend killed lowndes' championship. Electrical faults all saturday and the double stack on the sunday. Being a hardcore fan of his, it definitely hurts thinking that he lost the title by such a narrow margin

marshal almost run over by aston martin 3:40

Moffat was munching up that distance

They should have f1 races here

Wankup, meh

I had this car on Gran Turismo 5, i loved it so much then i did something sooo dumb and sold it by mistake, i wanna get it on Gt sport

Good job But renové traction Control and try with 100 force feed back and exagerate. Yaw at100%, so the car shakes líke in real world.. There is a dífference

Poor de Chaunac... 10', 16', 17' were heartbreaking

At least Loic Duval won the Super GT championship with Honda's then-new HSV-010 the same year this fire happened. He would also go on to win overall with Audi in 2013, alongside Kristensen and McNish.

I have a lot of respect for female drivers.

You are comparing a 5.5L V10 high-pressure direct injection (700HP) to a 5.0L V8 turbocharged direct injection (591HP) in a straight line.

holy fuck this is crazy

Peugeot were fapping too much! (Peugeot 908 HDi FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP!!!) 💦

High-pressure Direct Injection makes car faster than Turbocharged Direct Injection (HDI & TDI)

Paráda...

Moffat enjoyed a man-machine connection there. It looked like he was possessed by the V8.

0:50 ... the luck of this man at Le Mans is amazing. 75 minutes left engine failure in 2010 , 5 minutes left mechanical failure with Toyota in 2016.

Moffet drove a great race but he did have fresh tyres and plenty of fuel on board.

Hi, nice video Any chance that you will Subscribe my KZfaq channel to?

Look at this action! Nascar can't hold a candle to these guys!! GO FROSTY GO!!

I've never seen Moffat drive better! The car looked almost perfect to drive there!

To most Americans, French engineering means Le Car, Minitel and that Ariadne 5 rocket that blew up because of a faulty numerical conversion. I realize this is a mistaken impression but that's where Amanda Bynes is coming from.

SectF1 You don't understand a fuck ;)

As a Kiwi I love the V8supercars, good on you Aussies, keep it up, but I think our NZ V8ST is coming for ya!

at the moment this is better then fucking borring Formula 1

This is the best form of racing I've ever seen...Everything about it is perfect. It starts with the cars themselves, then the tracks, which are frequently tight and exciting. The drivers have tremendous skill and some serious courage, and the PRODUCTION quality is excellent. Tons of onboard cameras, coverage of the exciting moments, and EXCELLENT commentary. ALMS/IMSA, F1 etc could learn something from this show.

Nice lap in this masterpiece :)

Only in Europe do they allow flagmen onto the track.

Such an exciting sport
