Some important info about the 1955 Le Mans race, the Jaguar that caused the crash was driven by Mike Hawthorn (1958 F1 champion) who had a tendency of doing dangerous things on and off track (which ends in tragedy for him in the end), the teammate Pierre Levegh showed the hand-signal to behind him was none other than "El Maestro" Juan Manuel Fangio who always maintained, that last moment signal from Levegh saved his life otherwise he wouldn't have slowed down on the straight. Fangio was also teamed with the great Sir Stirling Moss in that race. John Fitch, Levegh's teammate was greatly affected by his passing, and devoted his time to improving safety in motorsport, road infrastructure, and automobiles. And an interesting fact about Pierre Levegh, he almost won the 1952 Le Mans single handedly driving a Talbot when he drove the whole race by himself, ending in the final hour when he suffered engine failure while he was leading by 4 laps.
RIP Pierre Levegh tho. The devastation Fitch felt led Alfred Neubauer to withdraw Mercedes after Moss took the lead iirc Good thing he didn't let his ego get the best of him and humbled after.
@@HuntersMoon bro your way to documented these videos is out of this world man, youre definitely a one of one or one of a kind. keep up the good work man!
It’s so sad how the algorithm works. A very hard working and extremely skilled RUclipsr like you doesn’t get the exposure he deserves. Your videos are amazing and very very detailed. I’m sure you invest alot of time in it. I really hope you blow up. God bless you.
A strange thought I've had over the last 24 hours, prior to even watching this video. Imagine building a car, that changes everything. One car that is so influential that it inspires and draws others in. Be it from Hollywood, a race team, or even just a one-off builder like Magnus Walker and others. That's the dream right there as a car enthusiast. The ultimate goal. Build something you love, and for the love of building it, while accidentally changing perspective on things.
@@JupaGordan Murray built the McLaren F1 with that passion, just wanted a somewhat higher end Honda NSX, had no idea he was actually building the first real hypercar.
A individual who talks his passion and knowledge will always stand head n shoulders above the individual just chasing camera time. Well done 👏 Whilst many think they are the subject, you keep the focus on the subject of your content 🙌. Count how many times you use the words 'I & ME" in your content . Then compare to your peers 😎
I've always am a Porsche fan as I was a kid,who got to see the 917's in all their iterations my dad was a car nut and would take me to the Glen,Daytona, and Sebring, the years where 68, 69,70 and 71. But the red beast that I saw in a couple of sport mags that covered racing in Europe just blew a eight year old's mind, I thought how could a chunky clunky car be so competitive without knowing I became a Mercedes racing fan since the fall 71. Keep doing this format its great!!!!!!
This is the kind of content that I love to see and is very difficult to find. I knew that the Mercedes had some race success, although I didn't know the details or that it was called a Pig. I've been a massive Porsche fan for several decades. Porsche's racing success is second to none. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
You will be ranked amongst some of the best car enthusiasts RUclipsrs ever. Your research, dedication and ability to tell a story well is truly remarkable. I have no doubt you will be very wealthy because it shows you love what you do. Have faith and preserverance and you will be a household name. Trust!
Thanks for the video dude! I'd always assumed that porsche was sponsored by a butcher! If you dig obscure porsches, maybe you should check out The Belgrade Phantom.
Like I se others saying, this channel is too good to remain unknown. Everyone who sees this should show this to someone they know will appreciate and pass it on.
13:29 That's a Porsche 911 (991) RSR GTE, no number 3 anywhere to be found in its name. It only has the engine based on the one in GT3 and GT3 RS road cars that it shares with the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car and Porsche 911 GT3 R. But the one in the Pink Pig livery is the RSR GTE, not GT3.
Just found your channel an from the history content I've seen already you got me hooked the mid night 911 was one of the best car culture docos I've watched well done good sir love from Australia
Really enjoyed this and i think the car world is so fascinating with endless stories to be unearthed and told (by you)! Excellent research and proper storytelling is a rare combo and I cannot wait for more content from you my friend!
only just found your channel but this video and your other stuff motivates me to continue with my own channel. i've only made one "mini documentary" type video so far and I now know just how much effort it takes. this is sweet. subbed
While the original Red Pig gone, you can still see last original Waxenberger. The fact that even Mercedes doesn't own it and couldn't buy it says enough of how special piece of car it is
Loved your MID NITE video. A lot of work goes into the research and you do a great job of outlining it all in a good automotive story for the enthusiasts. I subbed!
Love the video and love your content. I worked for Porsche for a few years here in the states and have spent countless hours at PCNA in Atlanta at the museum and the classic workshop on work trips. One small nitpick I pass on every chance I get under direct orders from the mother ship, Porsche is a two syllable name. Por-sha not Porsh
Thanks Samuel! It's funny actually worked for Porsche too, although we were told not say Por-sha here in Canada as it sounded pretentious to some haha. I think with these video those I'll say it properly going forward!
Loving the channel mate, I've just marathon watched a bunch of your awesome videos. You've done so well with research & entertaining videos, certainly an underrated channel....I'd love for you to cover the Australian Touring car battles between the "Godzilla" R32 Skyline & Sierra Cosworth in the 90's, which resulted in both models being outlawed for being too fast against the Aussie muscle
Thanks Boonce! I kind of stumbled upon that topic when I was looking for R32 footage for the intro of this video. I'll definitely read into it more, sounds like a cool story!
I stumbled onto your channel by chance. On that note, by chance, can you do an episode on the journey Hyundai has taken since the early 80's. I don't mean just the drastic change in quality and reputation, but also what led to milestones like the Tiburon, Genesis Coupé, "Taos" V8 engine, their recent "Theta" engine issues and subsequent redemption and their lastest "N" brand. In the opinion of many, Hyundai has become a forerunner in performance EVs along with I.C.E. vehicles like the Elantra N. I suppose having designers and engineers from the likes of Audi, Volkswagen, and BMW, to name a few, has really helped. Id love to see something outlining that interesting story a bit more in depth. Subscribed !
Your vids make me feel the same way watching wangan midnight for the first time did. I know this aint much, but it’s greatly appreciated. Keep it up Captain
Another video from the most underrated youtuber... I am seriously not surprised that there are "long" breaks in between videos, they are always packed with info about the theme. One word can describe this whole channel, and that is: Amazing.
Just found this story!! I Have Three Loves from Porche! 356! 917! The Older School 911 Look( Those Curves and Whale Tail)! Everybody WENT Lightweight? AMG Said " Bigger Is Better!!" Never Underestimate the Underdog!
Please keep producing content like this, the hard work you are obviously putting in is producing some of the best car related content on RUclips right now!
As far as I know, the last original Waxemberger Mercedes-Benz is in the Mobilia automotive museum, Finland. It used to belong to the late magazine publisher Urpo Latinen.
You got a new subscriber!!! Amazing video my man. Im currently unemployed but soon as i get a job i will sent a thank you. Keep up the good work. Really enjoying it.
Your videos are so nice to watch. Just in line with all great documentaryesk type of videos of other channels. Tho you deserve to be brought up in sub count definitely!
Thank you for a great video, and great storytelling. I also would choose the Red Pig. I am however a bit partial as I have the domesticated version of the Red Pig, the 300SEL 6.3.
I'm back again!:) 2nd video of yours i'm seeing, and man the quality is just so gooood. the writing, footage choice and the whole lot. Keep this up, and you'll make it big man. i believe
Welcome back, Santosh! I really appreciate it. Finding footage is always a struggle - there's a lot of cool stories out there but often I can't find enough to really scrap together a video
The story videos are really taking off! I think you've found your calling. I'll throw my suggestion in. How about a recounting of Junichi Tanaka and Jun Auto? From humble beginnings to Jun's success in drifting, time attack, and landspeed record chasing at Bonnevillle.
Thanks Cameron! I had a section about Jun in my video on the story of time attack where I touched on some of the cars and Bonneville, but maybe one day I'll expand it into it's own story. Great idea!
@@HuntersMoon lol I realized that about 24 hours later after I left that comment when I watched your Time Attack video which was also brilliant. Alright perhaps Top Fuel Japan or or even Signal Auto Some early 2000's deep cuts lol
Just got your channel suggested, youtube actually did something good for once. Great content dude, loved the 3 videos i saw so far. Keep up the great work

Most underrated youtuber, I clearly see hard work and skill here! gr8 vid btw!
Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it
@@HuntersMoon bro your way to documented these videos is out of this world man, youre definitely a one of one or one of a kind. keep up the good work man!
U should do mor documentaries if you want to it's like a calmer ver of up to speed
Came here to comment the same thing.. Love the vids.. Keep at it. The algorithm will submit eventually...
It’s so sad how the algorithm works. A very hard working and extremely skilled RUclipsr like you doesn’t get the exposure he deserves. Your videos are amazing and very very detailed. I’m sure you invest alot of time in it. I really hope you blow up. God bless you.
The research and storytelling is insane. You deserve so much more love
An easy piece of research would be to learn how to pronounce Porsche (Pour-sha).

You are the best automotive youtuber! No misinformation, no clickbait, just pure facts that is structured in a way that isn’t very bland. Love it!
The high light of this episode, probably a commonly used term but I never heard a rotary engine referred to as Dorito powered.
By far my favorite channel 😉👍🏁
I really love all of your videos! The story of the original M coupe is always a nice one to tell around the campfire for me!
Thanks! I've never heard that story but I'll definitely look into!
When I hear that intro song I'll always think of Dale Earnhardt Sr
5:07 that plate number😂
S-EX 3333
I love that picture haha
@@HuntersMoon guess what. Me too😂
Your channel deserves more love! I’ve been enjoying these story telling type videos keep up the great work man.
Always wanted a story that combine the two German pigs. Good work with creating this!
underrated channel
Thanks for the video dude! I'd always assumed that porsche was sponsored by a butcher! If you dig obscure porsches, maybe you should check out The Belgrade Phantom.
Great suggestion! You were the only person to mention that car, but I'm really glad you did! I'm uploading the video now
