Fun fact: They went directly from C9 to C11 because C and 10 sound too similar in German and especially Swiss German. And the C doesn't stand for the class, it stands for "Christiane", Peter Sauber's wife. All Sauber cars are named after her, including the current C42 F1 car
Group C is one of the best racing cars ever seen and what not to love about these cars: Innovative engines which rainged from turbo-charged monsters to the high-revving F1 like v10 engines
May I ask if maybe you are italian like me? I'm just curious as an endurance fanatic and I am in love with your channel quality content! ...and I ask this only because you shown the paper about the 400 kph on the Hunaudières which seems coming from the italian's best car racing magazine, AutoSprint (or so it seems), your english is of course impeccable, just a slight accent. Answer if you only wanna do. In any case, have a great day pal! ;)
I started watching your videos through today and I got to say I don't know how did I not find this channel before, the music used is awesome and fits perfectly most of the time, videos showed and editing are both in the point and it feels like if someone was telling you a story, I can see this channel popping up soon, keep it up!
My recollection is that Michael Schumacher raced this car but there's no mention of him in this video. I recall he disappered from the F3 scene and I wondered where he went because Sportscar category didn't get much TV coverage but then he turned up at Spa 1990 and the rest is history.
Watched all your videos, love the content and It's well put together! What's next unreliable Le Mans car, the top speed Peugeot p88? Haha keep up the great work!
I remember these cars from the Gran Turismo series, even I was too young to appreciate them in the time it happened. I think A modern racing series that was as close to unrestricted as possible would be successful given how modern racing has 1000 page rules and regulations books.
Like others saids here, never seen an underrated Channel like this. Keep it up, be patient, you'll have more subs on the future, awesome video by the way
Jochen Mass, what a driver and career, he raced the fastest most fragile chassis, also in the deadliest era of the sport, to victory and fame. Watching this I asked myself how Jackie Oliver drove his 917LH to 386 km/h on the Mulsanne Straight in 1971. Wild wild days. Thankyou.
The most notable accident of this time was the airborne flip and crash both in practice and during the Le Mans 24 at the hump near the end of the Mulsane straight. Shades of 1955 tragedy. What if that flip had occurred along the pit grand stand straight 💥⚠️😢💥⚠️
This is my favorite racing car class of all time. My personal favorite cars among them is the Sauber C9 and Mazda 787B. The most beautiful racing cars ever built. Their engine sound is the best and match each other perfect. The roaring V8 in the Sauber together with the screaming Vankel engine in Mazda, just wonderful, absolutely love it.
A fantastic video with some truly amazing & awesome video footage from the various races mentioned. I would so love this to be a "proper" video , ie 45 - 60 ( or even 90 ) minutes long, but even this "shortie" covers an amazing amount & gives a break breakdown of the subject matter. Well done folks, keep it up.
I whitnessed Schumacher blowing his engine at the Nurburgring in 1991 , right in front of us at the Muhlenbach tribune . It was just unforgetable with the Jaguars and Mercedeses !
That’s definitely my all time favorite race car! I even have the 1/18 scale models of those cars!👌🥰👉♥️the sounds that came out of that engine were music to my ears!!🥰
'How did this car go from being a backmarker to the beast that dominated Le Mans 1989?' - it's called money! There was a rumoured quote from Werner Niefer that when asked whether Peter Sauber had been given a blank cheque by Mercedes, he responded "no, but we might have given him more money than he can spend"
I was too busy building my book of compositions and learning to play🤷☯️ But damnit I kinda knew I was missing out on the fruition started by the Ford GT and Porsche 917s.
Hehehe thank you, i love that game, have been playing it for the past few weeks and i am slowly getting all the endings. Actually i only miss the two Ouroboros endings. My favourite ending at the moment, emotionally speaking, is the Neucom one. That final scenes literally devastated me
The Gran Turismo footage would be historically incorrect, showing the C9 going through one of the the Mulsanne Straight chicanes... since they didn't exist in 1989.
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Gran Turismo 4 was fitted with the 2003-2005 layout, but also the same layout without the chicanes. you could have used the latter. or, visual quality wise, GT6 had the same tracks alongside the more modern ones with and without the chicanes
400km/h? Damn! I've seen the Mazda 787B reach 420km/h but only on Racedriver GRID... and the car has six gears in that game... so yeah. But Damn! Why can't we have more games with cars like this? Group C was the bee's knees!
Bro this is the most underrated channel i have seen, keep going u are gonna be really successful with this quality content
Hehe thank you so much! The road is still very long but we'll keep going for sure! :)

Wow, didn't know such fact, really really interesting, thank you for sharing! :)
concidering C10 would be pronounced ZeZae in my accent I can see why it was skipped
Group C is one of the best racing cars ever seen and what not to love about these cars:

Completely agree with you :)
And Wankel rotary engines as well!

**How SAUBER built the fastest Group C car of the 80s
laughs in WM P88 Peugeot even if it failed right after the still unbeated speed record

I the background music! brings back some memories of R4: Ridge Racer.

Thank you! Hahaha, we are actually planning a lot of videos and some about Peugeot might be incoming aswell 👀

Cars would be insanely fast nowadays.
I love how sauber just means: "clean" in German.
Dominant ? That would be the 956 / 962. C9 was hella fast yeah. But not as dominant as Porsche's marvel of engineering

This channel will have a million subs in less than 2 years. Mark my words.
18.7k subs as of the posting of this comment, 11/6/22
I always wondered what that chicane situation at Circuit de la Sarthe was about..
There's literally footages of the cars in your videos you are allowed to use, why use shitty footage from some game?
The most notable accident of this time was the airborne flip and crash both in practice and during the Le Mans 24 at the hump near the end of the Mulsane straight. Shades of 1955 tragedy. What if that flip had occurred along the pit grand stand straight 💥⚠️😢💥⚠️
That wasn't during the Group C era
not even the same car
name of the music in 3.20-4:50??
I have All of these cars.... Slot cars 😂
I do like the R4-esque layout and the R4 music. A really good tribute video.
A wonderful video on a perfect group c car from the 80s, I like the Ridge racer vibes too
You are one of my favorite new channels I have found, I love the content!!!!
Thank you so much!
Great channel with great content !
THANK YOU! :)
Absolutely unreal video!!! Keep up the amazing work!!👏🏼👏🏼
Hehe thank you so much!
956/962 were the most dominant, this just became faster, but this is also a very good channel.
They were definitely the most dominant over a time period. The C9 is more of a most dominant in a single season type of car.

How is this channel not better known !?!, So glad I found it. Great automotive content, good narration, and love the Gran Turismo BGM
Great video!

Whats the difference between the C9 and the C11?! In Videos they look same. Or the hosts themselfs dont know the difference...

Love the music from Ridge racer type four! Fits the vid great ! :)
To other Motorsport fans, Welcome to WEC, see you at Le Mans

The 787B reaching that speed is definitely a fantasy lmao That car was a tortoise.

Fantastic video!
Thank you! :))
When cars where cars.
The thing is cars change, they just like anything else that exists.
Can you make a video about Mercedes CLK GTR/LM and CLR disaster crash?
The CLK never went flying, only the CLR
