We are gonna make a video of the Porsche 917/30 and call it "The Fastest Car of the 70s, FOR REAL THIS TIME" No btw serious thread, which car do you think is faster? 917/30, Toyota 7 or even Chaparral 2J?
Please do! If you don't use that title I'll be disappointed. 😂 The 917/30 was probably the fastest. I mean, they are said to have peaked at 1500hp! This was a couple of years later tho, and it benefited greatly from race experience and development of the platform. The Toyota 7, and to a lesser extent the Nissan r383, were definitely pioneering trailblazers in turbocharging this massive engines for monstrous power and stuffing them in tiny featherweight cars.
Hard to tell. The Turbopanzer came a couple of years after the Toyota 7 and had more brute power, but I think the 7 was much lighter? Still, could you imagine the two of them side-by-side on a Cam-Am grid? Wow.
@@aid2381 I agree, and this isn't even the darkest story out there. There are way more obsure facts from the same years, and some of them are so dark that we don't even think it is ideal to make some videos about it. Too sensible contents
Absolutely insane how insane some of the cars were in the 70's. Until lotus came and fixed the "Death Trap" curse put onto these cars. Only the chap 2j is the one i would really call "a somewhat tamed" in this series. Even then, that thing is pretty much a death washing machine. Good video!
Thank you for the comment! :) I agree that the 70s were one of the craziest period in terms of experimentation and crazy formulas! We were discussing it on another comment and it's impressive to believe how fast the technology was advancing at the time
I'd heard of the car before but never knew where it was raced or what its story was. Having heard of its specs and performance, i saw it as the pinnacle of japanese motorsport, no matter the rest of the 80s and 90s legends. But hearing its full story, from the drawing board to the passion behind the project and the tragedies behind it, every single moment kept me on edge and hoping for a silver lining to the project. Your voice was no less than perfect to tell the story of the 7, it felt like i was listening to a story from someone who was as involved and passionate about the project until the last second, and the music and clips only added to the effect. Amazing video and a wonderful explanation to this story. Very much looking forward to the other stories of triumph and tragedy in the world of motorsport.
I first learned of this car from the PlayStation game Gran Turismo. Racing in the 1960’s and 1970’s was absolutely crazy. As the envelope was pushed even the tracks had to change. The Mulsane got 2 chicanes, Monza was literally completely redesigned, and Nurburgring full circuit virtually disappeared from racing. Perhaps you could do a video on some of the famous tracks and how they had to implement changes. Great video I liked it a lot
@@hacktheplanet.The fact you expect people to automatically know about a car from the 70s shows your arrogance. You want a medal for hearing about it that wasn't from a video game?
subscribed within the first minute of watching this, Story time: the Toyota 7 was my entire friend group's grind vehicle in Gran Turismo 5 back at highschool, we had one guy with a wheel and pedal setup and he would share the car around as no one else can beat the challenge for it. We took turns grinding out the Konica Minolta CV prototype with it. Good times.
Wow what a great story! It's always an amazing experience when you share this kind of passion with the persons you care the most! Really happy for you, and happy you liked the video! :)
If anyone can narrate the legendary icons of the yester-years in racing, it's you. The Toyota seven's history was truelly one of the best. I can't wait to see what you have in store next, maybe the likes of the Porsche 917 k of the early 19th century
On the topic of cars being too extreme for their time - a video on both the Peugeot 905 Evo1b and the Toyota TS010 would be a neat idea. Because back in 1992, those cars were faster than some F1 cars (compare WSC 1992 lap times with 1992 F1 lap times in Magny Cours).
You are so right! The TS010 especially, despite not having a great success like the 905, was one of the most aggressive aerodynamic approach seen in a car of that kind so far. I mean 905 was nothing less, but the TS010 had this kind of charm... I don't know, it's special you know
Group B monsters is another big one. Like those things were often nearing as fast as track cars. Like Lancia Delta S4, 890 kg, tubular frame, carbon fibre and kevlar silhuette body, 550 HP twin charged engine, all wheel drive,. This all down narrow mountain roads at times. Oh and apparently 550 hp was the "this engine is supposed to last" tune. On bench pushed to max with higher boosting it could make 1000 hp. Some of the end of stage and during race week end interviews are telling from that era. World best rally drivers from all around the world going, publicly, to camera: This is insane. Stuff like "how are you looking forward to next stage? I'm already fully exhausted, we shall see". This from seasoned rally driver used to long stages and touring. Just after few stages going "my mind is mush, my back is mush, my arms are mush"... oh by the way and still two stages to go today. "How was the stage? I don't remember anything about it". This few minutes after coming to finish line, since that was how jarring it was. Too many corners too fast, too many jumps too fast. Split second mistake didn't mean just losing time and race position, it meant at minimum serious injury, likely even death. "We are all exhausted. This isn't racing any more. This is something else, i don't know what. However bosses want us to drive, so we drive. This will not end well." They were right. Again this from seasoned professional people who knew "speaking ill of the car, team or the brand is a career: no, no".
@@fbboringstuff It was in use, but rare and expensive. "In 1981, McLaren MP4/1 first used carbon fiber monocoque. By 1986, the first bicycle carbon fiber frame was produced by Kestrel." Which made it such a big deal. It was among one of the first applications of carbon fiber, which shows the level the car was produced. They used the most expensive and recently come to market processes to make the car happen.
Can am was one of the most absurd classes in racing ever so its pretty understandable that things like that could unfortunately happen. less than 700 kg and over 800 bhp, tiny lightweight wedges with coffètables for wings.
I mean the Toyota 7 was probably the definition of no control, too much power/torque for a light car that can barely keeps the road with its primitive downforce. Crazy concept for real.
I watched many, many Can Am races - we made any track within 12 hours drive of Toronto, Canada. The cars were surreal lightweight monsters with huge engines and absolutely minimal rules - literal ground shakers. It will forever be my favourite racing series. The Bruce and Denny Show forever!
Yep, those years (With the exception of Group B which developed more in the 80s) were some of the craziest in motorsport for that. Luckily, in the next generations, safety became an important factor to take into consideration 🙏
I was a great Can Am fan and saw many races. They said of the rules: 4 wheels, 1 engine and 2 seats. Otherwise, "run what you brung". The Chapparal vacuum cleaner car seemed to even break the one engine rule.
I remember this car vivid from Gran Turismo, and it remains 1 of my favorite cars, along the Chaparrel. But i believe this car should be kept in the games and the story be known about its dark history, for only that these 2 heroes will be remembered.
I was in a sports car club in mid and late 1960s and we were the Grid Crew at many SCCA races in SoCal.. Riverside International Raceway had all the categories from Minis to Cobras, and then Group 7 Unlimited Class which was amazing to watch..The CanAm Series had top drivers and teams from all over the world..McClaren, Gurney, Chaparral, it was racing heaven on that course with straights and esses and elevation changes..

@@Onewheelordeal It's in GT4, GTPSP, GT5 and GT6, and not only that, the footage at 4:06 is a replay from GT6. It'd be nice if it got remodelled and added to GT7 though!
Very sad the many drivers to have been killed in race cars, and my prayers to those who have, but as for the Toyota 7 itself, I have to say, what an incredible beast it was. Awesome.
Wow, I had never heard of this car or it’s history. You did an excellent job telling it’s story. That was a dangerous time in motor racing. The pace of technological development and the beasts that were created was both exciting and sadly sometimes tragic. Would love to hear more like this from you. Super job!
The scariest part about cars like this would probably be the onslaught of snap-oversteer due to inherently imbalanced inertial frontal lift while going through high speed corners. Imagine feeling like a proper weapon of a driver on the straights only to brake hard for a turn, turn in, ease into the throttle to power out and then to have the front lift slightly while the rear pushes down, and then to lose steering feel from the front, lift slightly, redirect the front wheels, feel the inertial weight shift, then power down hard again in time coupled with steering correction so as to offset the snap whilst you feel immense rear tire scrub. You’d have to have balls of steel! Cars of this era had immense rear downforce but little was known about frontal downforce or lift, so an effort was made to widen the rear tires substantially to make up for it, but often times all this did was increase the quickness in which the front changed direction during imbalanced snap!
I've been searching for video on the Toyota & for YEARS!!!! You have no idea how I cried watching this video. Thank you so much for creating this. You gained a like and sub from me!!!💖
As I found this channel yesterday I expected it to have at least 100.000 subscribers or so, just because of this hight quality videos. But man I'm sure you will find the big success in no time if you continue like this - just awesome content here.
Thank you so much! :) If you are into racing games, you can drive this beast on Gran Turismo 4, 5 and 6 (of course just virtually, but at least you can have some fun with it). I don't know for other titles, but that's it for GT!
Absolutely fantastic video. I love the Ridge Racer themed graphics, paired with the historical footage and great music. I subbed! Can’t wait to see your other content!!!!
Thank you so much for your support, for real! Ridge Racer and generally Namco games of that period are one of my biggest inspiration! I really hope you will enjoy the upcoming videos, next one incoming on October 13 ;)
Thank you so much for sharing this documentary about this legendary 70's Japanese beast developed by Toyota. This is absolutely new for me. Keep up with the amazing work🔥👌❤️🎌🏁🇯🇵
The beginning of the turbo era was quite interesting. It was a major game changer. What probably killed the Toyota racer was the turbo lag. Back then, engineers and drivers had no idea how to handle that. it took numerous years to figure out how to tame the turbo. Porsche also had major growing pains with their turbo. The 930 was called the widowmaker and rightly so. These days after millions of dollars of development and thousands and thousands of hours of testing and refinement it's not uncommon for passanger cars to have a twin turbo.
Great vid, don't forget, Toyota has 3 Nascar Cup series championship wins in America, and 15 championships in the Xfinity (B league) and Truck (C league) .
I watched the various Chapparals, including the vacuum cleaner car, at many Can Am races through the prime of that series - always great cars beautifully engineered. The sound of the vacuum cleaner car was unreal - you got the thunderous V8 with the little snowmobile engine screaming away on top of all that. Truly a unique car.
HEHE, i don't know Hunters Moon channel, going to watch some videos later. I know Countreefus instead, not personally, but he's a really good storyteller and deserves the boom he is having right now.

Thank you for the support! :) I also agree, would have been fascinating to see that car on the track. A part from occasional track days in Japan, i don't think there are many different opportunities to see that beast in action :(
I always find videos like this miss the mark so hard, both guys died doing something they loved which is better then most of you will ever know. It’s not like you don’t get in the car not knowing the risk is death but the pursuit of greatness shown through passion is truly something to admire.
At just 620kg (1367lbs) and pushing anywhere from 800 to 1000hp I'm like Bugatti what? McLaren who? Ferrari what? Porsche who? That was extremely radical considering it was only in the 1970s Jeeezuuuus 😬😬😬😬
I recall in the mid sixties an occasion when there was a fatal accident in Australia in a Toyota vehicle. There was absorbs of explanation for what happened and the manager of Toyota Japan came here to attend the funeral and appologise to the family of the deceased I listened to the news broadcast and was impressed that this high business executive would bother to state the values of this company to be so. Quite a difference to this story of wanting to be top of everyone in the F1 race where anything goes if it's legal.
I have heard of this car before somewhere throughout all of my years of reading and learning about Motorsports and different cars and engines but I never knew the history behind it like this ,well put together story even though it was a tragic event I didn't understand much about the car either a car weighing less than 1500 lb with that kind of horsepower would have had to be a monster and only great drivers could drive it sadly one lost his life. Overall good job good story.
I am happy that the algorithm threw me right here. Your style is impeccable and unique. Great work, keep it up. Your storytelling is sublime bro. Subbed.

Isn't "Project Dream" is the full name of the project-d from initial d? Nice.
What a professional video style. You’ve earned yourself another subscriber! Love these videos
Thank you so much, your support is extremely appreciated! :)
I highly respect the relentless Japanese pursue for Excellence.
As I found this channel yesterday I expected it to have at least 100.000 subscribers or so, just because of this hight quality videos. But man I'm sure you will find the big success in no time if you continue like this - just awesome content here.
Never even heard of this car before this, great vid
Thank you so much! :)
If you are into racing games, you can drive this beast on Gran Turismo 4, 5 and 6 (of course just virtually, but at least you can have some fun with it).
I don't know for other titles, but that's it for GT!
Love your work my friend. There’s only two things that keep me sane in these dark times and that’s my kids and motorsports. Keep up the good work
omg the ace combat music matches so well. gotta sub
Subscribed! Amazing video, you will do great on RUclips
Thank you! :)
... Great vid !.
Thank you! :)
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Toy Fan though, Granted, so a tad bias :)
Nice video man, i also like the Jak X music choice and the ridge racer type 4 and wipeout hd style presentation. Your editing is 10/10
How do you only have 8.5k subs this is on of the best automotive doc channels I've found!
Thank you so much! :)
No thankyou man, you've solved my boredom! Hope this takes off!
300 hp in a 620-800 kg. Vs the 917 820 kg and 715 hp?! Come on. It was a mess of engineering.
Thanks for this. I helped build the Toyota GTP cars for Dan Gurney's All American Racers. I was there 10 years. Great experience!
Fantastic work, congratulations...
800-1000hp is mighty impressive today, 1969(nice) it was insanity.
I just found this channel, the Ridge Racer Type 4 graphics and narration quality are INCREDIBLE
Excellent video. I'm liking the heavy Namco inspiration you have going as well.
Thank you! YES, that was my real first inspiration when starting the channel. I love Namco and the late 90s PS1 games they produced
The video Started with Ace Combat 7 OST that is a Namco franchise
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA I loved the use of Ace Combat 4 soundtrack near the end
It’s Jak X music isn’t it??
Great content 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you :)
Absolutely fantastic video. I love the Ridge Racer themed graphics, paired with the historical footage and great music. I subbed! Can’t wait to see your other content!!!!
Thank you so much for your support, for real! Ridge Racer and generally Namco games of that period are one of my biggest inspiration!
I really hope you will enjoy the upcoming videos, next one incoming on October 13 ;)
Thank you so much for sharing this documentary about this legendary 70's Japanese beast developed by Toyota. This is absolutely new for me. Keep up with the amazing work🔥👌❤️🎌🏁🇯🇵
The beginning of the turbo era was quite interesting. It was a major game changer. What probably killed the Toyota racer was the turbo lag. Back then, engineers and drivers had no idea how to handle that. it took numerous years to figure out how to tame the turbo. Porsche also had major growing pains with their turbo. The 930 was called the widowmaker and rightly so. These days after millions of dollars of development and thousands and thousands of hours of testing and refinement it's not uncommon for passanger cars to have a twin turbo.
Great vid, don't forget, Toyota has 3 Nascar Cup series championship wins in America, and 15 championships in the Xfinity (B league) and Truck (C league) .
Very good work! Keep it coming! Maybe Chaparral or Chevron will be good candidats for next videos :)
Definitely! A video about these two icons might be gold! Thank you for the suggestion!
I watched the various Chapparals, including the vacuum cleaner car, at many Can Am races through the prime of that series - always great cars beautifully engineered. The sound of the vacuum cleaner car was unreal - you got the thunderous V8 with the little snowmobile engine screaming away on top of all that. Truly a unique car.
The quality of this video is quite simply perfect
Thank you! :)
Man all these story based motorsport channels popping up. I LOVE IT. Project dream, hunters moon, countreefus OOOF
HEHE, i don't know Hunters Moon channel, going to watch some videos later. I know Countreefus instead, not personally, but he's a really good storyteller and deserves the boom he is having right now.
I really hope he will keep improving every time and never stop making videos! SHOUT OUT TO HIMKJSJDKSA
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA gotta check out hunter. He's amazing.
Great video as always ✨
Fantastic work my friend.
Wow, thank you so much!
The legend in person! I don't know how to react to this comment as I've always followed your channel and I've been in love with your videos/narration style! Definitely you are one of the content creators i respect the most, so thank you for your support! :)
Looking forward for your next contents! ;)
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA I'm honored to hear that! I still feel like a very very small fish in this sea, and love seeing what others are doing in the space. Your use of graphics, your vocal tone and your music energy are all top tier friend, I'm as excited about seeing where you go, as you are me.
PS. Enthusia was my JAM back in the day.
We both have a long way to go to develop our projects for sure! But i'm sure that doing what we love, this path will be an amazing adventure!
ALSO WOW, Very few people out there knows Enthusia, you are a person of culture for knowing it ;)
It's also been a pleasure to talk with you, have a nice day and good luck for your next videos!
Спасибо, что рассказали об этом уникальном автомобиле.
Amazing video, very well made, trully engaging, cant wait for more!!
Too fast.... too extreme... thats weakness right there
Excellent job on this vid! A fascinating story, I've never heard of the Toyota 7...I would have liked to see one now.
Thank you for the support! :)
I also agree, would have been fascinating to see that car on the track. A part from occasional track days in Japan, i don't think there are many different opportunities to see that beast in action :(
Awesome videos! I hope you do one on the Mazda 787B. Cheers.
Why not! The living rotary legend from Japan surely needs a video! Thank you for the suggestion ;)
Very cool video! Thank you! New subscription earned!
Many years ago I read a brief article about Toyota's Can-Am car project which killed the test driver.
I always find videos like this miss the mark so hard, both guys died doing something they loved which is better then most of you will ever know. It’s not like you don’t get in the car not knowing the risk is death but the pursuit of greatness shown through passion is truly something to admire.
Great video, thanks for the upload!
At just 620kg (1367lbs) and pushing anywhere from 800 to 1000hp I'm like Bugatti what? McLaren who? Ferrari what? Porsche who? That was extremely radical considering it was only in the 1970s Jeeezuuuus 😬😬😬😬
I recall in the mid sixties an occasion when there was a fatal accident in Australia in a Toyota vehicle. There was absorbs of explanation for what happened and the manager of Toyota Japan came here to attend the funeral and appologise to the family of the deceased I listened to the news broadcast and was impressed that this high business executive would bother to state the values of this company to be so. Quite a difference to this story of wanting to be top of everyone in the F1 race where anything goes if it's legal.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO
I have heard of this car before somewhere throughout all of my years of reading and learning about Motorsports and different cars and engines but I never knew the history behind it like this ,well put together story even though it was a tragic event I didn't understand much about the car either a car weighing less than 1500 lb with that kind of horsepower would have had to be a monster and only great drivers could drive it sadly one lost his life. Overall good job good story.
Incredible & Sad / Thanks for sharing
I am happy that the algorithm threw me right here. Your style is impeccable and unique. Great work, keep it up. Your storytelling is sublime bro. Subbed.
Jim Hall started the whole wing thing and creating a vacuum under the car. Toyota flattered Him, by using Hall’s design
Wow, I'm amazed at the story telling and production of this video. i know i sound like a bot but this is crazy. I'm definitely keeping notifications on
Great content. Thank you for Sharing. Have a Nice Day!💗👍
DUDEEE. LOVE THE RIDGE RACER TYPE 4 AESTHETIC. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS.
THANK YOU INSTEAD FOR YOUR SUPPORT
The respect for safety back then was almost nonexistent.
Very well done!
Always loved your Videos since I discovered the x1 video
Hehe thank you, hope you'll love also what comes next ;)
I've just found this channel and I love it.
Imagine driving a car so sleek and so much horsepower wow yet man was not ready for the control that amazing machine at that time. Tires and safety now day are so much better
Thank you.
Love the content.
Great editing.
Superb narration.
Great job on this video
And Bruce McClaren and Jim Clark and many others who were such talented racers in that special era.
Amazing video man, you're on your way up! 📈👏
Thank you! :)
that was beautiful subscribed
Thank you! :)
The rr type 4 like aesthetic it’s perfect !
This was a beast in the old gran turismo games. But it had no headlights so good luck in any night races
I remember as a kid i went for the 24h of Le Mans in GT5 with it, and after a few hours in the lead, when the sun came down i realized...OH NO
Great 👍😊 video information
No electronic to help ... a kart of 1000hp ... thx to bring back the memory of this monster !
This channel is gonna be the next bomb! Great to catch it from the beginning! Amazing work mates, amazing work! Love the style of the narration and the music! Keep up guys with this amazing work!
Woah, I got recommended this video 3 hours ago and I can't believe how underrated you are.
Seriously, I have been binging those videos for hours now.
Good luck and keep producing this wonderful content, your new subscriber.
I was enjoying this video like I was expecting of a 500K+ subscriber channel. Until I saw the actual subscriber count. You are doing so well man. Your channel and style of videos will surely grow you a lot innige future! Best of luck my friend!
Awesome video, even got the Ace Combat 7 ost in the background.
Hehe thank you instead for the support :)
Thank god i wasn't the only that noticed

@@kotoamatsukami. meh, I'm not a fan of the Jak franchise
love the ace combat music ♥
1:32 song?
Absolutely fantastic video and production quality! Love it! And love the little nods to Ace Combat!
Im going to build a TOYOTA 7 rc car on a arrma limitless chassis, in honor of the two drivers, thats a beautiful car ! Great video my friend.
You just gained a new subscriber, your content is unbelievably good
Gran Turismo veterans know what it's like to drive this thing
Nice video, enjoyable to watch 👍🏼
I'll never forget when I unlocked that car on Gran Turismo. It was sooo Damn fast lol.
