  • 🎥In this video we are going to talk about:
    ▶️ The 2023 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans saw a NASCAR stock car take on the endurance race for the first time in history. The NASCAR Le Mans racer was fielded by Hendrick Motorsports. The specially prepared Garage 56 Chevy Camaro ZL1 test car was recently seen turning laps at Sebring Raceway in Florida. NASCAR itself has partnered with Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports to develop a higher-performance, one-off variant of its new-for-2022 Next Gen stock car platform to race under Garage 56 rules as an unclassified car at the hundredth anniversary 24 Hours of Le Mans.

    I lost a bit of interest in Le Mans, but after learning about this, I watched purely for this. Being from the uk, you hear a lot of European snobbery about US race cars. So I love that the yanks went full Carol Shelby on them. What a great car. Easily top of the podium for sound. It’s impossible to get bored of that noise. My all time favourite car, 427 Cobra, has the best sound, followed by the Daytona Coupe then this! Bloody well done to the US and Nascar 🇬🇧🇺🇸

      It's a common misconception that Nascar doesn't race on road courses. In truth NASCAR has actually raced at road courses for decades. Since 1957, in fact. This weekend is actually their first time on a street course in downtown Chicago. August 13 is at the Indianapolis road course, the week after, August 20th is at Watkins Glen, a former F1 site. Then October 15th is at the Charlotte road course.

      Stock car in this case does not mean stock from factory, it is the term used in America for this (type) of race car. In the early days 1940's they did use stock from the factory cars to race in this organization. That is why they were called stockcars.Yes, one word as spelled. Over the years as speeds increased and accidents became more severe, it was determined that they would have to change to purpose- built racecars for safety. And while they are no longer stock from the factory, the term stockcar has remained. Do not know why but everyone understands and accepts it. So, we do not call them Nascars.

      They had to. Over the years tech. has improved in the engines and they can now make really serious HP.so for safety sake they had to keep the cars at a speed that was safe for the driver. Most if not all of the tracks are old so if you cannot change the track, you have to change the car. Hell, Bill Elliot went 212 mph years ago. They predict that without restrictions the current car would top 230. Much too fast for these old tracks to handle.

    It doesn't matter if it's GM or Ford if the factory-supported race teams make a serious effort in International Road racing they can win. Ford won with their Ford GT at Lemans and the Rolex 24 hrs at Daytona. The Camaro effort of LeMans was impressive but way more expensive than a NASCAR effort. IMO only a few NASCAR teams could afford to put that car on track in Cup events. NASCAR is already too expensive without major sponsorship so you will never see a full field of Cup Cars running with LeMans specifications.

      Yeah but you're missing one really really important point. The current Ford GT is a completely overpriced hypercar that you need to literally fill out a resume to own. The Corvettes literally anybody can go buy. They win all the time there as well including this time. What makes a Camaro special though is it's a big portly American muscle car. They're all over the streets here, even more so than any Corvettes will be. Many families have owned one many families have made memories in one, and many people know someone who owns one right now. It's not an expensive car so to see the stock car version of it over there ripping up the track like that is pretty big deal. And the fact that so many people thought it just wouldn't have a chance is even more hilarious

    If Nascar wants to keep this interest going. They are going to have to ditch the Ovals and Rovals.
    Nascar will have to dedicate 85% of Nascar races to legit road circuits.
    And not Laguna Seca and Mid Ohio.
    They are gonna have to race at Spa. Suzuka, Kyalami, The Nurburgring. Dedicated road circuits.
    Those are just a few examples.
    If they keep most racing in the states, they are going to have to tear down the ovals and build all new road courses.
    And they would have to have actual elevation changes, good complex high speed corner sections. With real flow. Not straight, shicane, straight, hairpin, steet circuit garbage.
    They are going to have to build at least 20 variations of tracks like Spa and Silverstone, Donnington, Imola, and even a high speed track like circuit de la Sarthe.
    But no. America will just keep racing on ovals, cause it's cheaper.
    And thus, all this good press and interest will fade to nothing.
    They've tried this before. But America doesn't really want to invest in it's success.
    The Circuit of the America's didn't do it. Niether did the Indy or Daytona rovals.
    Sebring is just a cute under developed airport club circuit with lots of bumps that make it good for torture testing a Le Mans entrant.
    America needs a Spa. And Road America isn't it. Niether is Watkins Glenn.
    Road Atlanta could've been it, but it's too short, and too slow.
    You need medium and high speed corners that lead onto long and fast straights, with sweeping S curves and lots of passing opportunities.
    But no. That's not good for safety, is it? Hence why racing is still a dying pass time. With no real new resurgence they keep claiming is happening. It isn't gonna happen.
    Safety is a tertiary consideration.
    Speed is number 1. Competition is number 2.
