Inline six. *edit* I stand corrected. I never knew it ran with a V12. That said, all of its success was with the six. I guess you learn something every day.
@@ImInLoveWithBulla Yeah and 250 means 2.5l, right? I also thought it was an I6 becauce of that small displacement. Also 300hp is very impressive for an NA 2.5l with no clever electronics in the engine
20:40 In similar vein to other funfacts, that would be a nice place to mention that it's 200 mph, big milestone. Great video, will watch episodes from next years
Good video and interesting food for thought.😀 Just a few thoughts from me. The first being obvious. As well as different regulations, the cars were designed for the circuits they usually ran on. I wonder how the Sports Cars would compare at 1967 Monaco. Or 1967 Spa where both types of car competed regularly. Incidentally, the Monaco GP was raced for Sportscars in 1953 (I think). That's all got me tempted to dig out real world lap time comparisons for those tracks.😀 Secondly, I couldn't see the revs clearly, so wondered if the F1 cars had options for long enough gearing for the straight. And, of course, it depends on how well the cars are modelled. For example, I'm not sure D-Types in period ran with negative camber. I hope that doesn't sound negative, I really enjoyed the video.
Alain De Cadenet once said about older race cars, that the 427 Cobra was the only car that he had to continue sawing away at the steering wheel all the way down the straight. New drivers have it so easy.
Concerning the 1955 Record: Mercedes used almost the same car (W196) for Le Mans and F1. The Le Mans car also had bored and stroked cylinders plus the hood aerobrake so it should be faster than its F1 counterpart. Compare the Nürburgring Qualifying laptimes of Sportscar Championship and F1 Event and you see that the laptimes are almost identical.
Depends in what criteria, usually F1 cars are focused on downforce so on regular tracks they would dominate easily with a superior chassis and aerodynamic feature. Hell even their engine on several occasions. However the reason for LMP and GT class is down to the fact that they are to homologate real world cars and help manufacturers what is needed to improve power and reliability for their regular cars. On a track with straights I’d confidently say LMP cars would tear shit apart.
When it comes to machinery or technology people were waaayy crazier back in the old days. But that's life. It's a learning process. Can't expect people after inventing engines and cars to have a modern and safe standard almost instantly. Progress is slow.
That Maserati 250 is terrifying. It's like driving a v12 bathtub on bicycle wheels
I swear my friend, this thing was sliding on the sides at above 250kph when I was driving on Monza

@@ImInLoveWithBulla yeah! Well... I guess the economy is better

It's reassuring seeing the Maserati wandering all over the road under braking. I thought it was just me struggling to control it.
Maserati's weight also 55kgs more than GT40 MK. IV 1967.
There's onboard footage of Fangio himself driving the 250F, the car is never going straight. This thing is WILD.
Watching you fight that Maser for traction out of Mulsanne corner was EPIC!

The 1967 Ford GT40 MK IV RACE CAR from Gran Turismo 5 has incredible noise!

Honestly very impressive how close the 312/67 was to the GT40 MkIV despite the nearly 50km/h top speed deficit
And also the 330 P4 car.
I like how there's no pit road, the pits are just out there in the open 😅

It would be interesting to also run Indycars, and have them run at indy too
Why can't we go back to the times when Le Mans cars were faster F1 cars?
LM are the quickest on litteraly every single comparison of this video 😅
@@fabulouscarcharts5467we simply miss lmp1s from 2015

I'd say that the LMPH class is doing well for itself despite being slower than it's previous iterations
Hey great video man! What mod did you use to get those effects when driving in first person?
The mod is named Neck FX
This track looks terrifying and also so much fun to drive. Is this the one on overtake that's been converted from rf?
Do you think the Hypercar will be faster than the 2024 Red Bull (not infinite brands RB)
Ah, those Brits and their wacky gauge placement with reverse dial movement 😅

Interesting...🤔
F1s are really hampered by their top speed sigh :(
1966 was the wrong Le mans car. In that year it was the GT40 MK ii which had the 7.0L 427 instead of the 289 from the MK i
It was 1967
@@fabulouscarcharts5467 The MK.II won in '66, the MK.IV in '67, and the MK.1 in '68 and '69.
What happened to the Mark III?@@AndrewShaww
What is that game called?
