@@6lemans10 You can hardly compare a BoP era with an open regulation era. With a fair ruleset same power/weight/hybrid-output Toyota would just single handedly crush the field to pieces. With the oldest Hypercar of them all. Built to an older ruleset where the car had to meet EU standards for headlights, windshield-size etc, whilst all the others are purpose built LMPs or way cheaper because built by LMP2 manufacturers.
I love watching Le Mans every year for this - seeing all the manufacturers, constructors and privateers representing different the former with their unique outlook on how a race car should look to launch like a missile down the Mulsanne and handle in the corners around Le Mans. 34:13 - yes, no kidding, a very low rear wing, low drag, minimal downforce, of course it has high top end, also, has the ability to spin if pushed in racing conditions. Man, that Panoz was quick with David Brabham behind the wheel. Knowing what he was capable of in this car, seeing Brabham win with the Peugeot and almost win with the Bentley, it would have great if Brabham actually raced an Audi in the early 2000s he could have won alongside Kristensen.
THANK you for reuploading without the sprinkling of annoyance :D
Just trying to do the best I can with YTs always changing system 😄
@@thestrand11 Appreciate it!
Best era of Sportscars!
The best era is now with the hyper car class!

Audi R8 race car has reliability. There production cars, not.
Yet those R8 went through three gearboxes during this race.
