My favorite car was indelibly etched into my memory by getting to watch the first hour of Le Mans shown live on the west coast of the U.S.A. and watching the Ford GT go flying past the 3 Ferrari's on the Mulsanne straight. I know the Ford didn't finish the race, but those 3 prototype Ferraris didn't either. At 13 that was the most awesome thing I'd ever seen. 205 with a pushrod V8.

Surely 1st prize goes to the camera car built solely for the purpose and officially entered as a race car to film parts of the film LeMans starring Steve McQueen? Not many people realise that some of the sequences used in the final film were filmed whilst the race was underway. If you watch the start of the 1970 televised sequences you will see an odd looking white car with cameras. The Porsche 908/2 that McQueen had previously co-driven to second place in the 12 Hours of Sebring was entered in the race by McQueen’s Solar Productions, This #29 car can be briefly seen in the starting grid, covered with a black sheet (at approximately 17:51 minutes) and again at just before the 79-minute mark (at 1:18:42), racing past the starting line. The “camera car” was driven by Porsche’s Herbert Linge and Jonathan Williams. The car traveled 282 laps, or 3,798 km (2,360 miles), and finished the race in ninth position. It was not classified, however, as it had not covered the required minimum distance It did, however, manage to finish second in the P3.0 class.
I was born in 62 so I never knew about Cadillac racing in LeMans, however an article in one of the car magazines had an article about Le Monstre (the Monster) I had to admit that it looked out of place even by American standards! The story is almost '70 yrs old and still an interesting story even though it never won!
If you think it amazing that a pre-war car raced in Le Mans and Grand Prix spare a thought for the Porsche 959/961 which won it's class at Le Mans and the Paris-Dakar rally!
Why endurance racing is so cool? Simply, because every car is totally different than others. Open rule books, open minds, a demostration of the best technology and power, this is the objective of all of this
We've had the Rover-BRM at Coventry MotoFest a couple of times. An absolutely wonderful bit of engineering. To see it whooshing around the infamous Ring Road on demonstration laps was something else. It's not every day you see these things being paraded round closed public roads. 😎😎
The Peugeot actually didn’t do 407. Peugeot’s marketing department had no control over the ACO’s speed trap. The story comes from Dorchy, who insisted that it _felt_ like 407 and the speed trap was wrong. Right, wrong or indifferent, 405 km/h is what was recorded. The rest is a coincidence.
I love the crazy early days of all racing! Back when a team would exploit every loophole in the rule book and try some crazy stuff.

The Nardi Twin-Boom had a Giannini 4 cylinder 750 in it. It was an earlier car that had the BMW twin in it. That’s clear from watching the footage and reading the Wikipedia entry. It was also very quick for a 750. It had a claimed top speed of 134mph, which no doubt made it faster down the Mullsane straight than the famed 750cc Lotus 11 which won the index of performance at Le Mans in 1957, which was a bit lighter than the Nardi. I doubt the Nardi was blown off the road by anything.

In the famous/infamous 1970 Le Mans ediction, a 914/6 gt was 6th overall and first in his class, beating all the 911s, more powerful. But it was famous and infamous, cause that race sets an unbeaten record for bad weather so a lot of cars could't finish or went off time limits, so the 914 actually was penultimate overall. Still a great result.

The Rover BRM is an odd story. I'm surprised it didn't have a better showing. The first turbine entered into the Indy 500 lead the race for 492 miles, until the transmission broke. Of course, the rules were then immediately changed to hamstring turbines. Similar to the way the rules were changed after the Mazda 787 to hamstring Wankel engines.

787B definitely sounds like a straight piped Japanese econobox, I’m sorry y’all
Just curious but @ 8:57, is that a racing car on the right or a civilian car?
This is going to sound crazy but I believe that in the 50/60's the Le Mans organisers used to have a road car that they took VIPs for laps of the circuit during the race!
It is possible that this was that car but I can find no information online to confirm or deny that this even happened. I remember hearing the story during the race build up on Radio Le Mans one year.
does the GT40 get an honourable mention
What? No 917. Come on guys!
Kinda sad the gt40 wasn’t on this list
This was about odd cars… I suppose its rather pedestrian Ford V8 was relatively new.
@@thethirdman225 oh right I thought it meant like crazy dominant
@@Moist_mouse4670 I suppose it could.
History is cool
❤ LeMans ❗
Didn’t the 787B win at Lemans? I feel like it won Lemans
1991.
