Thanks so much for posting this! I'll get to Le Mans one day and I think I'd rather go to the Le Mans Classic more than the main event! I don't know that there is anything more enjoyable than watching 60s and early 70s era Porsche race cars. I love them. And the 910 is at the top of that list with the 908 Spyder and, of course, the epic 917.
Fantastic footage. But are the cars now run to a safer formula? I see seat belts, but are there roll cages as well? Or hidden airbags? And what is the effect of using modern tyres, lights and brake compounds? Obviously the modern iteration of Le Mans is so much safer, but I expect a lot still depends upon the weather, or would it be red-flagged under torrential rain?
@@MD-uu5nt Yes probably the tyres in the heavy rain were the leading cause of fatality. I suppose it's like the IOM TT racers, they all know the risks, even the latest cars have some terrible crashes, but obviously not as frequent as in the 60s and early 70s.
Seat belts, fuel cells and fire suppression systems are new, but otherwise cars run as they did in period. They do run in the rain, I had one practice session in the middle of the night that I skipped, due to a downpour, but I did have rain tires in case there was rain during the race.
I was photographing Plateau 5 all weekend, just beyond the Dunlop Bridge, driver's right, just behind the tires for the 1:00 pm session. I'll see if I have any shots of you... I was also at the Indianapolis Corner for the 10 pm race and at the Porsche Curves at 4:45 am. What an event! A lot of yellow, but still amazing! So much history!! studio.ruclips.net/user/video0JRuWtaxbYY

This is just soooooo delicious to watch. Great driving. Thank you so much for posting. And yes, that was indeed a potent 2.0 litre 906.
😍😍😍 driving classic racecars on a track! Yes please!!
"pretty serious car fire " same place as Michael Delaney's 917 shunt 🎬📽️
Beautiful driving you did!!!

It’s an amazing place. 230,000 fans for the vintage race, 800 race cars, 8000 car
Club cars…it’s over the top.
Que auténticas joyas
Legendary car, thanks for the ride👍 but that shift linkage looks sloppy? especially in 5th gear.
My 1959 Beetle didn't do that 🤔.
✌️🇺🇲
It was sloppy. Somehow in transit it got tweaked, it's not usually like that:-)

I've never ever seen a race car with airbags. These cars are run exactly as they were back in the day. I'm sure the tyres are better though.

Which is better CARRERA 906 or CARRERA 910?
