Respect. The team could have seen the crash and just said,"Well, race over." But they worked hard over night just to give it 5 more minutes of track time. I love it.
I was at this race in 2015 and the Manta is a real part of the event. This race just isn't complete with the good old Manta, the fans absolutely love it. When I was there at the track and it crossed the finish line (winning SP3 class, 52nd overall that year) it received an applause as big, maybe even bigger, than the winning GT3 car. The Manta isn't just a car racing here, it's an icon!
That Opel Manta is the highlight of the Nurnburgring 24H for me, it's so old compared to the rest of the grid and yet its still going like a boss, such a under the radar car
Even in its own time, the Manta was something of an underdog; the Manta was originally homologated for Group B rallying but was wholly outmatched by its rivals due to it being 2WD and Naturally-Aspirated, when most of the cars in Group B were fitted with forced induction, had all wheel drive, or in the Big Four's case (Audi Quattro, Peugeot 205T16, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4), both. Its direct rival back in the day was the Nissan Silvia 240RS; another 2.4-litre naturally-aspirated Front-Engine RWD car. The Manta's best finish in the WRC was 2nd at the 1984 Safari Rally Kenya, with the 240RS' best finish being 2nd in the 1983 Rally New Zealand.
The Manta stole the show! :) Respect from the commentators, pits and fans. Now that is an honor lap! Respect back to all of you. You folks know a winner when you see one.
The mascot of the N24! And VLN also. I just adore this car and team. Remember this is a team on a very small budget ans jet they are the crowd's favorite car for the last couple of years. Respect to the manta team!
Was für Emotionen !!! Der waaaaaaaahnsinn Habt ihr gut gemacht Männer !!!! DANKE DAFÜR UND HUT AB !!! Bis nächstes Jahr in alter Frische ...!!... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Was a huge performance of this team, they never give up, sympathics from all fans around the track. Returning the last lap was just only for the fans and the message to all, were come back again!
Ein 24 Std. Nürburgring Rennen ohne den Manta ist doch so wie Weihnachten ohne Tannenbaum! Einfach undenkbar finde ich. Das ist einfach das Kultauto für dieses Rennen und ich hoffe er ist immer mit dabei weiterhin.👍👍👍👍
Fantastische Leistung der Crew! Auch wenn der Manta inzwischen fast ein Shilouette-Car ist, ist er für das Rennen wertvoller als jeder der Supersportler im Feld.
Habe meinen Manta B GTE 1989 weggegeben , wie ich mich darüber schon geärgert habe . Hätte den Platz gehabt ihn gut länger unterzustellen um den irgendwann wieder fit zu machen. Manches kommt nicht zurück . No second Chance ! Aber gut zu sehen das noch welche da sind. Erinnerungen an eine tolle Autozeit kommt zurück. 😉
Selbst das Team von Audi klatscht und alle anderen und das zu Recht.... Spitzen Leistung, Gänsehaut!!!! Was der Manta, doch für ein schicker Sportwagen ist....
I love this car. I don't think the VLN will be the same once it's gone. I hope that car ends up in the hands of someone who will love it and still drive it.
Unkaputtbar, made in Germany eben. Der fuhr wahrscheinlich am Ende überall hin, nur nicht mehr geradeaus. Aber riesigen Respekt dafür, das Ding überhaupt wieder auf den Ring gestellt zu haben. Andere hätten wohl das Garagentor runtergelassen...
This car is like the Mascot of the whole Event. You can't not cheer this little machine on each year
100% agree with your words
To be precise!
RIP
Respect. The team could have seen the crash and just said,"Well, race over." But they worked hard over night just to give it 5 more minutes of track time. I love it.
I nearly got emotional from the respect the Manta gets form all of the teams and fans scattered along the trackside! Wonderful!
same :D
Mantas are so fun to drive. I loves 5ge movie Manta Manta. With Til Schweiger and Tina Ruhland.
Henk Gaas everybody cheered when it passed! It was really really awesome

The oldest driver is actually 74 on this manta so not the car is old :D
Woah Gänsehaut pur! Legenden sterben nie
Der Manta is Kult :)
Yyyyup. Bis zum abwinken.
Über 25 Jahre dabei und kein bisschen langsam
Den Nagel auf den Kopf getroffen.....besser hätte ich es auch nicht schreiben können
Love to see this
I get goose bumps when I see the comback
same :D
The only car to get such a huge applause. We love you 🦊Manta
I'm a big fan of the Ford Capri, but how can't you have respect for this? Love this
Seeing everyone in the pitlane and around the track standing up, clapping and waving at the Manta got me a couple tears.
This car is such a symbol
It's not about winning, it's about the journey and what a journey this Manta has had. Hope it's back in 2020
It's back in 2023 :)

It's a shame ADAC are doing their best to price them out. N24 will lose a lot of fans and viewers with the old Manta.
Respekt und ein unbeschreiblicher Moment als sehr viele aus dem Publikum applaudiert haben ! .... einfach eine Legende !
Gänsehaut pur!!!

This was one of the best moments this year

It's crazy but more modern racers can only dream of doing that, since the development of cars now is so short.
This is AMATEUR RACING!
Newb....
Truly CLUELESS!

I thought it was it’s 20th year, the cars first run was in ‘98
This was like the race mascot... Even had his little tail :'D

One of a million reasons, why this is the greatest race on earth
Love Opel Manta from the Philippines 🇵🇭🏁
Falken, Grello, Mamba, and MANTA! they're Nurburgring's Mascot!
Thatis the best parade lap I have ever seen!
The hero of this race! and winner in my book
I wish we could've seen the moment as he crosses the finish line, what a emotional moment should've been 👏👏👏
Warum schlafen Manta-Fahrer immer im Keller auf dem Fußboden? Tiefer und härter geht es nicht!
Sagt ein Mantafahrer zum anderen "Ich hab mir nen Duden gekauft."
Fragt der andere "Und, schon eingebaut?"
Älter und noch Älter geht nicht bist von Gestern wa.
Was geht nem Mantafahrer durch den Kopf wenn er mit 180 gegen nen Baum fährt? Der Heckspoiler!
Steht ein Manta vor der Uni.

Amazing dedication! I were at the ring 2 weeks ago, cant wait to go back, best track in the world!
It was great to see the Manta get back to the track in the last lap.
This is why i love motorsport
This is why I love Opel Manta🦊
Fantastische Leistung der Crew!
Auch wenn der Manta inzwischen fast ein Shilouette-Car ist, ist er für das Rennen wertvoller als jeder der Supersportler im Feld.
Respekt, dass Sie den wieder aufgebaut haben! Super!!!
people like commitment. people like cars based more closely on what they drive or COULD race themselves. take notes worldwide racing
Der beste moment als der Manta wieder fuhr und alle teams applaudierten das ist motorsport 👍
Lovely car, great comeback story, go Manta! ❤
I had no idea they got the car back out for the finish. This pleases me greatly!!!!!!😁
The best Team .Opel Manta .
I really don't know who he is but he's my favorite car to see it do not seem right without him racing in a 24-hour race
Came here after that disaterous rain this year, go Manta!!!!
Long live the Foxtail-Manta!
Schöner zusammen schnitt 👍 👍 👍
Der Manta ist der geilste 😊😊😊😋
In mine language means geil that you are horny. Ha ha

My left ear really enjoyed this...
Ich liebe dieses Auto😍
The 24 hours at the Nürburgring are unthinkable without this car.....its an legend
I had a few GSI Mantas in Germany. They are light. About 1.100kg. With some adequate power, 300hp, they go like stink. Even stock they're no slouches.
Ich Liebe euch, ich bin so froh, das es euch gibt mir diesem geilem Auto...ich habe euch immer zugewunken
this car looks straight up from the 90's great stuff
edit: its from the 80's so that explains the older car looks still looks dope
Eine Legende!
My RUclips Recommendations cherry on the top
❤😢
Manta was an legend
Respekt an das Team. So einen tollen Wagen nach dem Schaden wieder so aufzubauen und eine Ehrenrunde drehen.💓 Hammer!👌👏💪😊
Kein 24h auf dem Nürburgring ohne Manta!!!!!!
I'm devastated she won't be there this year.
Sensational
Selbst das Team von Audi klatscht und alle anderen und das zu Recht.... Spitzen Leistung, Gänsehaut!!!! Was der Manta, doch für ein schicker Sportwagen ist....
Manta .. still a cool looking car coupe twin headlights ahead of its time is in the 80s love it...👏🏻👏🏻🏴
NEEEEEIIIIIN!! MEIN MANTAAAA!!!
I wonder what the reception at Brunchen was like!
I shed a manly tear watching this.
Beautiful Manta!
Best OPEL EVER TANKYOU 24H
Jolly good form
Keep the revs up
The Manta, Calibra and Golf mk3 where my favorite cars of the race tbh.
RUclips needs to add a dislike reasoning feature, if you dislike the video, you have to say why
CUZ WHO DOESNT LIKE THIS?
True spirit of 24hr racing 😎😎😎😎
Love this car. Keep it racing. Nice to see it between all those newer/more expensive cars
Super Team,haben den zerstörten Manta wieder ins Rennen gebracht!!👍
MANTA MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :D
Such a cool car 💕Hope to see it next year 🦊
I love this car. I don't think the VLN will be the same once it's gone. I hope that car ends up in the hands of someone who will love it and still drive it.
An obsolute legend !
Der Manta gehört einfach dazu! Wenn der mal nicht mehr mitfährt , wird das 24h bestimmt abgesagt
That was pretty awesome to them get back out there.
