Aye it was, the only time I've been to the great race. The screech of the Mazda's, the rasp of the Sauber's, the roar of the Jag's, the watch like singing of the Porsche's and the thump of the Aston Martin's making the earth move for me. I still watch the race every year, but the chicanes on the Mulsanne killed it for me.
@@hughcdavies I find it terms of sim racing the chicanes remove the monotany and make it a little more interesting since you are still going 220+MPH easy (and to note is that the drivers are partially to blame for the chicanes from what I've heard) but you also have to know you braking points along the straight for the chicanes, but I completely understand the sentement, we have lost a racing icon in a way by losing the full uninterupted Mulsanne straight with the blast along it that is longer than most race tracks around the world, but it still technically exists in its original form at least in real life, just no longer raced in that form.
Definately 1989, no chicanes, but Charge Orange colours. Helmet looks like Volker Weidler which makes it the no. 203 767 codriven by Yojiro Terada & Marc Duez. The car finished 12th.
That snap to grab the slide is un fucking real. Exactly where the wheel needed to be in an instant. And then back to center the millisecond the rear hooks up. Not even a hint of snap back. Fantastic.
@@Domi39agreed. Some serious snap oversteer in an 800 HP car could eat up any driver, even trained ones, and he made it look like nothing. Different breed of human here
One of the most epic cockpit camera view hot lap out there. I can watcj this thousand times. Epic sound, shifting, downshifting, epic driver's steering!
@@MagnumLoadedTractor if I were going to remove any chicane at Le Mans it would be the one on the old Dunlop Curve. I couldn’t give a hang about the Mulsanne straight, TBH.
The Mazda wasn't the faster car it won because it was reliable but not fast ..the XJR9 jags the sauber C9 Mercedes and perhaps the fastest was the Peugeot wm p88 they shattered the top speed record there before the chicanes
Ahhh when driver actually shifted car manually. This was real racing where driver skill.made real difference. No driver aids other than driver skill, feel and balls.
I love to have those downshifts as the ringtone on my phone. What a monster, with a proper gearbox needing a genuinely great driver to stay focused on every shift and turn.
This car is incredibly beautiful, fast and technologically brilliant. This in-car footage is obviously absolutely number one in its class and maybe not only in it.
The car is beautiful. But technologically brilliant is about as overstated as its win. People need to stop glamourizing and romanticizing this car and its history. It doesn't do it any justice when you compare it to the real powerhouses of Le Mans.
The exit of Arnage... 😜 What a beautiful area of real drivers and real racing cars with mechanic gearboxes... Just sound, pleasure and passion... 👍💯🔥🏁🏎️🤓🇫🇷
Wow, cornering speeds have definitely gone up since the 80's. I'm pretty sure GTE cars take the Porsche curves quicker but they would still be no match down the straights.
Imagine back in the mid-1960s with 200+ mph/322 km/h Fords and Ferraris racing and passing Sunbeam Alpines with their top speed of 120 mph/193 km/h at night! The co-driving winner of the 1967 race, AJ Foyt, that never raced on the course before, had about a dozen practice laps prior to the race. Years later in an interview, Foyt said during the race he followed Denis Hulme #4 Ford GT 40 Mark IV for around four laps; where Foyt felt he gotten familiar enough of the race course that he passed Hulme and stayed in the lead for the rest of the race.
Don’t really matter about top speed. 787b could’ve gone 900 hp at 11k rpm but they tuned it down for reliability. Don’t matter how fast you are, just how long your survive. 24 hour races are grueling
@@leneanderthalien it ran 408kmh. But officially they made it 405 to promote the Peugeot 405. Actually the Saubers ran faster, but the speed was not measured. Drivers of the Sauber said it ran as fast as the Peugeot. Only the latter one ran a few hours. Not 24 hours.
It's either the 202 or 203 767B (201 didn't have the Charge livery) from 1989. The 767B did not run in 1988, and the 767 (non 'B') never had the Charge livery.
Awesome, this is my favorite track on Forza Motorsport. What's amazing is the accuracy of the physics with the curve before the big straight. You're trying to accelerate out of it with speed and your car will start hopping. 0:44
A rotary engine with the best of Mazda's technology! Who is driving? Is it three people in Japan? Is it Rotary Meister Yoshimi Katayama, Takashi Yorino, or Myster Man Yojiro Terada? The high-pitched rotary sound is forever! !!
Imagine absolutely slamming it down the Mulsanne straight at 350-400kph back in the 90s and still getting overtaken by a C26S Porsche going a good 15-25kph faster than you are (granted that he 767 to my knowledge was a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the field that year, unlike that monster of 1991)
That downshift at Tertre Rouge...

2:43 - absolute armfuls of opposite lock.
I love how little of the circuit has changed in 30+ years.
They ruined for me after the chicanes
Die Schikanen waren schon zu viel
That sound tho! Especially at Tertre Rouge shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear that 4 rotor hit its rev limiter at 10,000 RPM!
Le mans cars had higher limiter . I see nothing special
He would be shifting DOWN from 3rd to 2nd.
@@Volvoman90 he is talking about the acceleration after Tetre rouge you can hear the limited bang after he shifts from 2nd to 3rd
That rotary has such a unique sound.
I agree. Nothing compairs
Oh what a glorious sound! Those downshifts! And NO CHICANE. Joy. Pure JOY!! Thank you so much. Watching again!
I don't care about the Mulsanne chicanes. What I miss is that run through the old Dunlop curve down to the esses. That was much more of a challenge.
2:42 oops
Well they often do that you know? With that much pure horsepower under their right foot, it's unavoidable
that corner has no grip at all, every driver hates it.
deggis4 nice save
@@eddiedorizon I don't know if you're sarcastic but no they didn't go faster by getting oversteer. They go SLOWER.

I'd like a chicane-less Mulsanne straight as expected.
Does nothing for the racing.

Remove the 1st chicane and I'm happy

No I take that back immediately and realise I got my years spaghetti. Fellow down below is correct with Volker Weidler etc. Apologies.

bullshit . Even on this vid there is car thats faster . And i cant see something special in its exterior . Lokks like group c era prototype

Fantastic rotary engine! Fantastic Mazda race car!!!
Thats true racing, the manual clutch and gearbox, overstearing and the Sound, I love it
The rare things only appear in this video, the 767b using the traditional RPM meter instead the modern day RPM meter
What a sweet sound!😎👍
I am just listening to that distinctive sound that it makes instead of just watching it racing 🤤🤤
Man that place is changed over the years that track
When you think your quick at 370 thundering down Mulsanne and you get overtaken, best circuit layout before they ruined it with the chicanes
The exit of Arnage... 😜

Wow, cornering speeds have definitely gone up since the 80's. I'm pretty sure GTE cars take the Porsche curves quicker but they would still be no match down the straights.
Tracks nowadays are downforced focused, that's why they have 2 Mulsanne chicanes and a lot of other corners now at Le Mans
@@Panzer_Runner Nice engine and furthermore more bloody frame which permit to récupér the miss of maxi speed at each corner.
Nice music. Thank you
@@Panzer_Runner There's no reason why that should be true.
in awe of almost every aspect of this
Thanks for the information. Will update the description.
Imagine standing just behind the barriers and this monster screams by in 360 kph
Looking at the speed at the straight ,I was expecting a time portal to open at any moment 😮

just close your eyes and let that sweet 4 rotor take you
nothing happens
thats a 3-rotor
Mega, Thank you for uploading this miracle of motorsport history.
Fabulous, nothing to add, thanks for the video 👍🎖️🎖️👍👏
the best mazda proto video ever here on you tube :)
Meson Blash? non, "Maison Blanche" mean White house in english...
yep their spelling is great.
That, but for 2 hours at a time minimum. IDK if that's more of a mental challenge or physical, but it's amazing
The 13j getting the love it deserves from racing fans
Meson Blash = Maison Blanche ;) What a fantastic race car!
Wasn't the best performing car but it is the best sounding.
I highly doubt racing games will ever get the true sound of this car
Daaaaaaaaamn, that powerslide at 2:43...! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Imagine if ayrton senna drove mazda 767b
He didn't.. but he drove a Porsche 956 in 1984... but he deemed it to be 'too slow' for his taste.
Daaaam that other car passed him like nothing and while he was at top speed!
the fastest in the Hunaudières was the french WM P88 with supercharged Peugeot V6 PRV engine: 415km/h ! (officialy homologated 405km/h)

Slipstream ofc
And 767B was naturally aspirated too

analyste It was 405:

And since it didn’t even finish, much less win, it was a pretty pointless exercise.
Lovely sideways action at Arnage.
I thought he was going fast until he got overtaken by the blue car. Incredible.
"Meson Blash" 😅... it's Maison Blanche (white house). Great onboard video and souvenir from the Hunaudières straight before the chicanes.
Why do people keep quoting 370kph when she could barely clock 340?
The distance you travel and the time it takes you
Brave and bold People them drivers.😲
The last year without chicanes was 1999, and Tertre Rouge was changed in 2008 from memory
89
2:43 That was a great safe.
Just another Saturday/Sunday drive

Les Hunaudières sans chicanes, incroyable!
787 at sarthe the sound is amazing
the chicanes were added in 1990, not 1991. 1991 brought a change to the pitlane only.
The drift out of Arnage☺️
I almost wet myself because of the „Meson Blash“ insert! That’s what happenes when you outsource stuff to amateurs who don’t care.
in that race the car was running to WIN at 365kmh! One fact; the has not been repaired until today:THE PERFECT MOTOR
MADNESS... LOVELY MADNESS.
The beste sound ever
Felipe Rodrigo no Lola t92 Judd v10

for anyone here reading this
the 767 is a 3-rotor, not a 4-rotor
What a drift out of arnage... i think the corner speeds arent as low as they seem to be...
Just imagine if it we're a sequel gear box..
Wouldn't make that much of a difference. A few tenths of a second at the most.
