And then came.... the CLK LM to crush everyone. peak of motorsports in general, the late 90's with the 3.0L F1 V10's, FIA GT cars, touring cars, even Nascar in America..
@@tonychavez2083 not really, there were many "peaks"..... GT1 is one, But there was CAN AM series which was prototypes on steroids and crack. The 917k was peak endurance racing.... Group 5 in the 70s and 80s were the most extreme GT cars..... Of course group B, of course group C was the second coming of the 70s prototype war 956 was the "real" banned group C car, group A era DTM had some of the best one to one dog fights In all of motorsports with the most race successful touring car e30 M3...... Pikes peak when it had dirt still, targa Florio before it was banned. 24hrs of nurbering( or track at least) killed more touring cars and F1 cars then any track back then. There were so many highs in the last century of motorsports.......
That pickup truck on the track, getting the debris was very stupid, but it was hilarious hearing the commentator's outrage about it during the race hahahaha
@@grimm6jack Exactly. LMP1 from a technical standpoint was much better than GT1. Sadly it's now dead and replaced by embarrassing neutered and BoP'ed crap prototypes full of spec parts.
Nice to see Simon Taylor in the flesh at the start here - his commentary was incredible for this season, while I prefer Martin Haven's voice they were (and still are) both superbly professional and knowledgable.
Jean-Marc Gounon must be in the Guiness book.... Crash not one but both teammates in the same turn, and in the first lap of the race... A very unsafe return from a man that can't assume his own mistakes.
10:35 pretty sure those aren’t flames but the front of the car sparking since it’s bottoming out so hard. They definitely didn’t have any ride height restrictions like they do these days.
@@Lex24HD not really the McLaren F1 won a good chunk of the races and was close in points.......... Don't forget the McLaren is still a road car underneath..... It took Porsche and Mercedes to build god dam prototypes to compete with the McLaren....... McLaren lost the championship but it gave a good fight until the end..........1997 was the last year it competed.
That was an era dude.. Porsche 991 GT1 vs Mercedes CLK GTR VS McLaren F1 GT1

@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo im talking about the modern era of motor sports . Not thinking of the 70’ and 80’s .
@@tonychavez2083 More like the peak era for drivers. Schumacher, Rossi and Loeb.
A melhor época do automobilismo GT mundial, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 e 1999. Máquinas incríveis.
Not 1999, GT1 ended in 1998 cos mercedes just won everything

Holy sh!t the 1997 GT championship with English commentary, you legend
Don't miss the Noel Edmonds Panoz documentary I uploaded! Check out the 1997 FIA GT playlist 👍🏁

More to come! 👍🏁
9:37 who let that Pick up truck out onto the track
🤣
It's a Mercedes fan trying to wreck the last McLaren left in the race.
I really liked the old Bus Stop Chicane after Blanchimont in those days compared to the new one now before the pits.
I was looking forward to this race specifically just to see what happened about the Gulf/Davidoff Mclarens all crashing into each other.
LOL, "the race is not won on the first lap" and "whatever you do do not crash into your teammate".
Bernd Schneider the king of DTM and FIA GT of 90s

thank you very much for uploading it.
You're welcome
The last great era of endurance racing!
That's because you didn't see LMP1 from 2014 to 2017... Don't get nostalgia get the better of you, you had amazing seasons during those 4 years.

The Silver Viper was really giving me GT3 Vibes. That game got me into sim racing and I’m so very grateful for it.
Hans Stuck is right. One of the last tracks in the world that has not been destroyed. And this was even before the era of Tilke
Striezel Stuck, being himself. What a legend
Thanks Monty!
Brilliant! Was at the Silverstone round that year, the one where the McLaren was binned hard in the wet in practice
Saw that happen at bridge corner , took a photo of Gounon's broken McLaren 👍🏁

All my favorite childhood toy cars in real life. So sick
Oloffson, Bscher,Belm - last gentlemans in championship
Panoz vs marcos vs morgan, nice race. Little factory vs big porsche, mercedes, viper etc.....
I don't think the morgan was ever even close to being competitive. But let's say the 993 911 GT2
and please keep up the good work.
Thank you 🙂 Got more uploads everyday until end of June 👍🏁

The king wins again.
cheers!!!
i know that Merc was the fastest car but the 911 GT1 evo was by far the prettiest GT
Macca was the only gt car, others are prototypes
does anyone know what's the song in the after race standings called? I really need to know
This is the epitome of car porn
they are giving Leto all this love. Calling him an F1 "star" is an outright joke.
The CLK GTR is just a better formula of the F1 Longtail
The F1 literally won the race lol
@@turdferguson3803 the one shown in the video? idk what you’re trying to say. 1997 was a complete domination for the CLK-GTR in the ‘97
And you're correct, literally Mercedes taked an F1 GTR Longtail and they test and upgrades with it and with that the CLK GTR was born

Quel temps au tour ?

1998 season is totally unwatchable by comparison, small grids and steam rollers in both categories

These cars are unreliable AF
What exactly are you referring to? This is the top class of GT of the time, high strung v12s, yet they're still pretty damn dependable.
Any race car have those issues m8
