A beast to be tamed. Makes Donington look like a tiny circuit. It barely has a chance to stretch its legs. Simply amazing and thank you for sharing with us!
Imagine your cruising down the AP36 from Madrid to Alicante at 60mph in your Vectra , when a Mclaren F1 comes screaming past flat out . In the middle lane !!!!!!!!!!! It was a dot in the mirror , then a flash of silver and 2 vortices , our car got moved over 1m by the wake.
It goes through the Gears in such a graceful way, and before you know it it's like "wait woah!" we're going scary fast! That's how I see it that is. Hehe, so cool, thanks for sharing, love it.
I recall a classic Group C meet at Donington some years ago when Bob Berridge in one of these lapped the field up to 2nd place with sub one minute lap times! I see that there will be a Group C race at the Silverstone Classic next year which is great because they have not appeared over here for quite a few years!
What a machine! The acceleration is just brutal and that noise, never, ever get bored of listening to it. One of the best era’s for racing in my opinion.
I never saw the C9 race in anger but I did see the C11 a couple of times. For my money it's the best sounding V8 ever, it looks good and it went pretty well too! For those of us who experienced it, Group C was very special.
It seems to have been setup nicely and possibly not that high boost pressure. Perserve the engine, for good reason. Cameras and audio has luckily come a long way since the early 90's. Onboard shots from then was mostly vibration noise and commentary. Has a nice deep rumble inside.. gorgeous machine Edit* Guess I'm just a bit envious.. never heard the car in real life, but seen all 3 configurations with the Mercedes engine, at shows, races or museums. Would love to experience Le Mans classic at so.e point
What a crazy car just in terms of how quickly it's get from anything to over 200 in a blink of a few gears. Not many corners approached where the speed was 200 or more.
I saw the track shaped like a whale eating krill, hmm isnt this Donnington. Then i read the description 😂😂 Thanks for sharing such an amazing view and ride , kudos🤙🤙🤙🤙
MEGA FOOTAGE! Thank you so much for this. Got a question: do you know how much boost you were running on the engine and an estimate of the horsepower it was outputting? I know that it could go over 900 bhp with boost at max 1.2 bar, but you probably ran it winded down to something lower?

Pleasure, glad you enjoyed it:)
Great driving Sam, I wish it had a passenger seat so you could take me for a ride. The engine sounds amazing!
Imagine you've taken your Ford Ka for a shakedown and one of these flies up your inside at the old hairpin.
Absolutely glorious footage.

That Sound of the V8 Biturbo is simply amazing 🤩
C9 with telemetry driven in anger at donington. You sir earned my sub today. Love the channel just found you. Thank you for sharing. More please :)
Thanks and welcome to the channel:)

I listen to this when I’m sad. It automatically refreshes my spirits. It’s a beautiful symphony of a vehicle.
What a beast..The C9 a C11 are my all time favourite racecars.

Definitely one of my favorite race cars of all times! What a blast to drive - you are living my dream!
Perfectly filmed onboard, IMHO. Very enjoyable camera view point and engine sound. Thanks also for the written insight too; most helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!

The mid range acceleration is really insane.
That Benz is flying 🛩️
You are one lucky guy. That sound coming into the hairpin gave me goosebumps.
Beast is an understatement
Thank you so much for the ride,that was absolutely epic
Glad you enjoyed it
My favourite race car of all times properly driven. Thank you for sharing this!
Love the fact there’s an old Ford KA on the track at the same time as this beast 😂😂
Ha, i didn’t!;)
Always a lively debate in terms of best sounding, but this is the one for me.
Thats tremendous. 150mph through the craners is insane 😎
woops I accidentally clicked the dislike button and then unclicked it....rest assured I DO NOT DISLIKE THIS!
Ha;) No worries!
Holy sh*** 250kmh through Craner Curves to Old Hairpin 😲
;)
Wonderful drive. One of the best race cars ever. And I sometimes think that it might be the best one.
It's def gotta be up there hasn't it
This footage is absolute gold, never thought a c9 could be so rapid in fast weeping corners

what a beast!
You're a very lucky boy, I'd give my right bollock for a few laps behind the wheel.
What a car, what a noise, what a circuit 🫡
lapping 7 seconds quicker than my SR3. damn. It must be nice to experience that relentless power.

That’s a whole lot of car to be ripping around, looking like the boss! Very nice drive @samhancock!
I accidentally clicked the like button at leat 60x. Sorry for that! Anyway fuc*ing amazing video! I love C9 and C11 so much!
Thanks a lot!;)
thats got to be the quickest thing i've ever seen go around donnington
It def felt like being on 'fast forward'
Go Big Dog go! Let nothing stand in your way!
Hi! Wonderful vid! Can i ask about the current setup on this beast?
MEGA FOOTAGE! Thank you so much for this.

Good question, I’m not sure as this was a while ago, but about 900bhp sounds about right.
Be cool if you have some Barcelona test footage for this car. Top work
0:24 that was a little pig 🤣
awesome fast 💨 ride 😮
Well done Sam.. Beautiful
Thank you!
Did it ever race there and how did your lap times compare? That was awesome mate!
*monstrously fast*
👍
Sam thank you for sharing amazing! 2.6G at 250KPH!
My pleasure!!
Why turbo boost were you running
1:23,1 is a damn good time
We went a bit quicker than that later on in the day;)
@@hancock_sam it seems to me that these are vintage slicks? Or are these actually more special tyres? Thanks for your reply 😁
Cette voiture et ce moteur sont fabuleux !!!
Very nice
I can’t imagine taking such a fast car around a circuit like donnington….
So jealous...BTW are you going to this years' 24h LM?
I’ll certainly do the Le Mans classic, but sadly not the modern 24h!
That's the go,,,,, H pattern gearbox and heal and toe. I'd like to see some of the kiddies try that.
Different subject but I saw the sound update for this car in the new Forza Motorsport and the game is nowhere near close to this beautiful sound!
😀
a testament to torque over rpm 😂
little f1 car 🥺
Nice car, but the Nissan GTP Turbo would whoop it like a red headed step child 😂.
😢 'Promo SM'
And that's not even the quicker C11 version either...
Porn as always my dear Sam, instant like
;))
Lol the poor sod in a Ford Ka doing his best to stay out of trouble.
