That save at 280+ is an absolute masterpiece. My 2nd time there.. I really loved that car, and the Panoz.. even with Tom Kristensen in the No. 17 BMW. Even the ACO adopted the design on the Le Mans logo, with the silhouette
My post with the link keep getting deleted. Search for Automobile Club de l'Ouest old logo, then a coffee cup with the silhouette logo from 1989 pops up
indeed prettiest race. I think the Toyota TS-020 or better called GT-one looks like a Group C having sex with a prototype class. What a beast. Too bad it never won first place in the Circuit de la Sarthe, they were faster than anything else back then.
When the GT-One made its debut, commentators said it reminded them of a Group C prototype because their frame of reference forced them to compare it to cars of the past. I didn't discover this car until I saw it in Gran Turismo 3 a few years later. I always thought it looked like a direct competitor to the then-current LMP cars circa 2003 (Bentley Speed 8, Audi R8, Pescarolo, etc.), so I was kind of perplexed to find out it was originally conceived of as a production-based GT car several years prior. I initially thought GT-One was just a hype name for a race car that wasn't necessarily meant to denote the class it competed in, because it was obviously a pure-bred Le Mans Prototype from the start, right?
Yeah it actually sounds a bit like, if meet a group of 4-5 people with vuvuzelas.. Not after 22 hours though, the Vipers, Panoz, a few of the V12 and especially the Porsches sounded like they were running on a gasoline/gravel mix
Every year I have been there, it was a awesome experience with great help from the english spectators.. one year they had a gigantic camp across the main road just by the start/finish, nex to the airfield. Really nice spot... music, a big grill with wieners and a refrigerated truck. It was really something. Since all the other campers also came in outrageous cars, and had to go by this 1-lane road to get to the infield of the circuit, the english set up a kinda checkpoint. So that people could cross the road firstly, take pictures of the beautiful cars.. but also they splashed water on the road, and anyone they encourage would do massive burnouts. My brother wanted to go to the souvenir shops and amusements, so we only stayed for about an hour. Too bad that you can't show photos in comments. Can only imagine all the other cars that they egged on to go wild..
@@NitroNuggetTV Probably just a joke as the British are some (or at least were) of the biggest motorsport fans, so the large numbers of Brits are so regular they're basically a rule at this point.
3:46 can we all just take a moment to appreciate how fast the drivers reaction was after that crash? mans was ready to reverse out of there before he even stopped turning it was insane
@@eins2001 ok but, regulations change, because most of times brands like porche, ferrari etc, they dont like to loose to cars like the viper, that win in they won game, hope you anderstand what I am saying.
Man, this commentator has no idea what he's talking about. He is literally just speaking to hear his own voice. "Oh...that Porsche has impact damage. That car has clearly hit someone". No, sir, that would be a tire puncture...
@@aenoofficial the three tail lights on each side is the road car version the race cars only have two on each side but it’s the head lights that confuses me because in one source I looked up it said the ‘99 have 4 lights in the headlights and ‘98 three on each. While an other source said the opposite, and another source said the ‘99 has both variations of the head lights…
This is gonna be in everyone’s recommended soon
How did you know?
I'm glad it was
Hello
It is now
It did for me.
quite clearly the best car to never win IMO
The '15 LM Nismo (with KERS, and working as intended) if we're talking about in perfect circumstances, and only focusing on performance at lMO.
@@sirspoonyr well , I appreciate the affection towards that car , but there are too many and ifs, the Gt-one can at least demonstrate performance
@@NikoMoraKamu Speaking of toyotas, actually it might have been the 2016 Toyota (broke down on the last lap after leading the whole race)
@@sirspoonyr Could've been the second japanese car that won le mans. They eventually won but there's no more competition on the grid
@@sirspoonyr
That car was nothing but a PR stunt.
Favorite car from Gran Turismo 3
Here here!
🙌🏻
Same. I raced countless hours to earn credits for this car. Totally worth it

I have to say, still one of the prettiest race cars I’ve ever seen, very Group C like

prepare yourselves, the algorithm has chosen o.o
7:20 That Oreca Viper sandwich
😍😍
Fast as hell, but it *devoured* tires
One of the most iconic well known race cars to never win the 24H
Now in GT7
I saw this on Cable TV that year, well most of the race before I had to sleep. Seeing the GT-One suffer was a total heartbreaker.
Years later 2016....a painful reminder....
Great to some of the old F1 drivers in this race, Martin Brundle, JJ Lehto, Pierluigi Martini, Ukyo Katayama.
Alboreto, Johansson, pirro and comas too
5:25 yeaaa. They don’t do it like that anymore.
Most beautiful race car Toyota has ever produced
This is one of the Best Le Mans Car
"Ove, my tires are gone for real.."
Bono my tyres are gone
That car had one achilles heel, otherwise the best car to never win in my opinion. It looks and sounds like it's alive.
Excellent commentary, by the way.
The fastest trumpet ever made
Yeah it actually sounds a bit like, if meet a group of 4-5 people with vuvuzelas..
Not after 22 hours though, the Vipers, Panoz, a few of the V12 and especially the Porsches sounded like they were running on a gasoline/gravel mix

The Toyota TS020 is a good car, maybe with the 2020 tire compound it could have won the race, but the timing was wrong.
Toyota was unlucky AF
Wait “regulation 50,000 British fans” was it mandatory for 50k brits to come watch the race? 😂
Yeah, weird comment.

Max capacity?
this car is so cool
Quite a shame toyota never won le mans until when essentially everyone else quit
they didn't quit, GT1 in 1999 was the last year until FIA ended the championship
Poor Toyota... But listen to those BMWs!
3:46 can we all just take a moment to appreciate how fast the drivers reaction was after that crash? mans was ready to reverse out of there before he even stopped turning it was insane
He did like not react at all?
looks pretty normal to me overall ?
What exactly do you mean
all he did was put it in neutral and brake before getting beached in the runoff
no reverse
you don't take moments in racing... you accept them.
ok this hurts
1980-2000 Best year, change my mind
change your mind yourself
They should have chosen a Japanese tyre manufacturer instead of Michelin. Strangely, the Porsches/ BMWs did not have that much of punctures.

Regulations change

How many years vipers conquered the Le mans? 4 years, right? After Corvette C5 was introduced then they got some competition there.
If it's three lights in each head light then it's the 98 version of the race car, if it's 4 then it's the 99. Is this correct?
Not sure. The taillights in the '98 have three each side, '99 has two

this is painful to watch
Toyota should paint their le Mans Cars like that again not blue and and white and black
Why is this recommended
why did this keep happening
Lower tire quality then.
@@MrCarGuy yeah ik they had cross ply i just thought it was happening to this spacific team
Ok was it Pagani who Copy Pasted the Toyota design or vice versa, looks identical
how unlucky

Yeah, it has a basic Corolla engine.
lmao what
Poor tire choice
