- Designing and manufacturing a racing car of any sort is a mission, but how about an LMP1 car? With its all-carbon construction, its highly-strung twin turbo engine and its incredible aero, the Ginetta G60 LT-P1 is one of the quickest cars in the world, and Mike went behind the scenes to check out how you start from scratch to end up with a full-blooded Le Mans car.

step 1: Get a car designer to draw you some nice pictures to set the mood.
step 2: Look at the pictures. Nice. Now throw them away.
step 3: Get a group of engineers to read the rules and design the car with that in mind.
Pretty much. I hate regulations. Sometimes they're nice because they make for closer racing, but other times I wish it was completely deregulated so we can get the fastest possible car in the world.
@@MPHammer itd be group b all over again lol
NoNo Nooo
A mix between Group.C and LMP1-L/H for endurance (i will call that LMPX) and kick out the LMDH and LM hypergaysport.
LMPX
LMP2
LMP3
GTE finish.
@@jHftw there is nothing to be said against the Group B.
as long as the Mercedes flip problem doesn't happen again.
@@MPHammer group B has entered the chat.
Thanks Mike, I've been trying to find out how to make an LMP1 car for a while now
Oh, me too, bro. Who are your sponsors?
@@jimmerframe4354 rich energy called and was keen on being my sponsor
I think he is being sarcastic!
@@b145701s Oh sick, Mastercard is sponsoring mine. They want me to get on the grid as soon as possible, so I need to do everything in 4 months.
@@ninoloso Nah, I think this guy is telling the truth. Random person I met on the internet seems legit.
Racecar developers:*do their best to maximize performance with the sharpest tech known to humanity*
Forza players: lol let's max it out
FalconGamer58 the accuracy is in this statement lol
@@MrAyybee2cold engineers: health, sweat and tears were dumped into our finest, fastest and best performance car yet
Racing gamers: car too slow haha, max upgrades make car go zoom zoom yea
FalconGamer58 lol first one to 300mph in a straight line wins
@@MrAyybee2cold it's not fast enough, only 304 mph? The fastest one can go up to 320 mph, let's do it again but with slipstream
Ah yes forza horizon. One of the game that i can take my aventador to offroad racing while using racing tyre and drive 250mph to unexpected train crash lol.
Can you guys please make more of these Motorsport Technical videos?! I’d love to learn more about GT, Touring, and prototype cars. They are not very often explained when compared to F1!
I do Formula Student and it takes so much work. Really made me appreciate how much works goes into a proper purpose built race car.
Everything they showed you can and should do in Formula Student too
@@Eckardi I never said we couldn't..?
Ayy which university/team?
@@joostin123 Swansea!
@@SgtSayWhat G'day from the sunny Gold Coast, Australia here! Shame FSUK cancelled but best wishes with your team for the year!!
The only reason why I know Ginetta is through Project Cars
Thomas Li same
Same here
Ginetta has been going for year's in different guises
I didn't know they were in project cars till I played it. Good suprise when I found out.
I know them because i seen a race with them at thruxton 2018
I've been looking forward to this since seeing Mike's story LMP cars are so cool!
Amazing work.
Much love to DriveTribe from Kenya🇰🇪
Awesome what a small manufacturer from Garforth can achieve,
back in the 60s, ginetta also conquered the GT racing scene, beating the much more established brands
5:38 the back of the car where the engine did looks like the Easter Island Head!!! 😂😂😂
These are the exact videos I want
it's hard to say the car was designed from scratch without looking at other LMP cars...
Sandy Telfer it still was. Sure, the overall shape is similar to other prototypes, but clearly they did make it from scratch
Regulations, and physics is the same for all teams so of course after a while the designs will get trialed and error'd until the all come to the same conclusions and dial in the perfect design. Kinda like convergent evolution.
Awesome video man 👍, thanks!
Top class insight into how a fast car is made from the ground up. It's so cool to see how an idea turns into a sketch, then a 3d digital model then into the real thing. It's like being a 10 year old all over again!!!
Awesome content! It was a great way to show and explain to my 8yo brother the process behind manufacturing a race car from scratch
Right, now I can finally complete my weekend project.
This is the good shit! Great enthusiasm, knowledge and interviewing skills from Mike. Bravo!
Glad to see Tobias Fünke has a new job at Drivetribe
What a great video, thanks!
More like this, please!
Few things which is usually missed in videos like these are briefly mentioned by Ashley - how do you set targets for chasis? How does design evolve from one gen to another (for example do they want to solve specific issues from last years car or there is new aero ideas etc.)? Things like how to get incremental improvements, but also major goals/targets set by team principal.
That engineer pushed for a half scale model so his 5 year old son could get the best go kart ever right?!
Ya got that one right! JD
This could have been a multi episode series
Bro - how did you miss calling out the fact that Ginetta has their logo woven into the carbon fiber on the monocoque? That’s sick! Such a cool detail.
Finally a sports car Hammond can call Full Sized!
*Sports prototype
Excellent video.
fun vid! Want longer vids!
So sick!
Cool job to have !
Always fascinating when manufacturers throws everything at a project before new rules are introduced (hyper car 2020-2021). Lets hope that Le Mans goes ahead in September so we can see what the Ginetta P1 can do.
Hope they can make it to September and race at Le Mans.
Cool vid . Cover the drivetrain and electrical, cabin, you know - the start to finish assembly.
Magic stuff and things!!
Yo what was the Drum and Bass track at the beginning??
😂 possibly the britishest question you could ask
Hiiii. Love from Australia, Sydney!!
The Ginetta factory is in the town where I live, Garforth, Leeds. I never really used to think how odd it was for our small town to have a car manufacturer. I know a few people that work there too.
I hope they can fix the brake cooling problem by the restart of the season. This is such a cool car!
The scale model is probably worth a million by itself🤣
Crazy they still build the cars on jackstands
Perfect job for me.
Catia...love it!
Cant wait to start working on my lmp1 car in my backyard
Was hoping this was a how-to guide. Got a bit of spare time on my hands right now, what with the whole quarantine deal.
more please!!!
More WEC/GT content! Thanks
That 1/2 scale car is mad
LMP1 class is quite pointless for now. The other teams can't keep up with hybrid toyota
Not actually see this year wec season the rebellion results .
Γιάννης Φυτρος ofc its due to bop but yeah its kinda mixed this year
Well if you watch Lemans you'll be happy to seem them being replaced with hypercars
@@TrinityDusk that's why, i'm so excited with hypercar class but it seems going to be delayed
@@muhammadshofwan5309 Yes, because it's *_Corona Time_*.
More vids like this !
Ginetta really do punch above their weight!
Hopefully The ACO gets some sense knocked into them and decides to add Ginetta as an LMP2 constructor.
Great vid guys. Didn't get the transition from the 1st to the 2nd step tbh.
Ginetta, aka the recycling bin for UK sports car ventures from mid 2000’s
Great Video! Very entertaining and good content. - Cool to see that they work with SolidWorks too. Also my most loved and used Software for work.
One of the last small independent british manufacturers. Long live Ginetta!
The soundtechnician seems to have have had a turbo lag 😏
Im curious if the windshield is made out of glas or plexiglas or acrylic. It seems to be hard to make.
5:33 “LMP oNe”
Next video: How do you make a fast LMP1 car from scratch?
oof
Next next video: How do you make a LMP1 car that doesn’t absent from a race from scratch
@@RAYSGT toyota has been the fastest for a few years now
@@RAYSGT nope, even before Porsche left, Toyota won qualifying
@@RAYSGT Is that why Toyota were en route to victory in 2016? Lap record in 2017, I can't say much as that depends on the traffic. Also, 2017 was chaotic in LMP1, so can't really tell.
What about the hybrid? Though I love the ginetta, but I prefer the original blue livery, that was beautiful
Great content and good video does not need that annoying distracting relentless music playing all the time. mix it up a bit and give your viewer a rest from the noise now and then.
Exactly!
Yeah Man!
Reinventing the Bat Mobile
I've always thought they were such a cool company.
i sat in one of these next step driving one
how long does the process take on average from a-z ?
Please please pretty please make a video explaining the formula behind LMGTP and Group C cars
Sad to see the LMP1 retiring now, correct me if I'm wrong but the recent 24 hours of daytona was the finale major LMP1 race right?
LMP1s never raced at Daytona, the last race for them was the 8 hour race in Bahrain last year if you don't include the Alpine LMP1 that will race in the 2021 WEC season.
Been following a guy building a Bentley Speed 8 from scratch on facebook. It looks amazing
Ajden?
Jarek Nowak Nah some dude Alexander, seen that ajden guy too. Mulsanne's Corner group on fb if u want to check it out :)
@@BigPundo thanks!
Im thinking about making old LMP/Group C inspired car, in the future, maybe.
You were thinking about "AeroMaster"?
Jarek Nowak that'd be ace, maybe one day i'll have the means to make one myself:)
No I don't think he has a youtube channel , he just post the occasional picture/video in that group:)
You saved me man
Kind of off topic, but when is the next Season 4 episode of the Grand Tour coming out?
Interesting to see the use of solidworks, I thought they all used CATIA
That size illusion always made me forget how these LMP1 cars are just like the F1 cars in size with even more aero
How does it struggle to keep up with the hybrids like the toyota but quicker than the Porsche hybrid? About 0:45 in
@Mandje Tichelaar yea but it's said to lap faster than the 919 hybrid and it was said it can't keep up with the hybrids
@@cmccullough2518 The ginetta beat the time set by the porsche 919 in 2017 but also the time set by toyota to take pole in 2017. But in 2019 the ginetta took 1.2 seconds from the fastest toyota. There are several explanations for this performance gap. First of all the track was resurfaced which made it faster, the current aerodynamic rules were put in place in 2017 so the cars have also evolved in 2 years and have become faster (what we see with the time of the toyota in 2019). And anyway if the ginetta manages to beat the time of the 919 by just one tenth in qualifying the hybrid cars, although older (for the porsche) are unbeatable in traffic thanks to their 1000 horsepower at the beginning of the acceleration.
Is it really faster than a 919 around silverstone? The hybrids are/were very quick, so if thats true that will be quite impressive..
Only because porsche ran the le mans aero package in silveratone
Im a mechenical engineer student and i want to work in motorsport one day. For now im in a formula sae team
Omg that carbon fiber monocoque is fkn sexy
Whar material is the model made off?
Hey man, I may build a Le Mans prototype with a naturally aspirated f1 engine when I grow up
I could barely afford a carbon fiber coffee cup, this body must be crazy expensive
ResurWreck the cars are around $12 million
Codeobey Nope maybe 3 million
An average LMP1-L car cpst between 1.2 to 3 Millions €
Vaka Productions is it possible to buy an lmp1 car?
Front nose huh?! LMAO
Better hope LMDH nets some chassis sales!
To make an LMP1 car from scratch, first you must create the universe.
3:09 - They sure are paying a lot for those Windows 7 patches.
The only way I personally know Ginetta, is that they allways in simulators have the slowest car. But, we always end up in them because they are so fun to optimize and race in. Keep dreaming and keep calm everyone
My dream would be built a team in f1 or lmp1 team in the future
the car looks so much bigger than it actually is
True, True
Just had an advert for Topgear before I could watch this video 😂
so fucking cool this!!
Watch your language, theirs's truck drivers reading this!
Yo estoy dibujando mi propio lmp1, es un trabajo dificil y aunque obviamente no tengo oportunidad de entrar en la parrilla por falta de patrocinadores y dinero, estoy siguiendo las reglas y prontamente lo hare en 3d 😅
That firewall looks like it's come straight from Tatooine.
I know what I’m doing for quarantine
This presenter sounds really similar to Mike Boyd from Learn Quick, I don't know if it's because they might be from the same part of Scotland, anyone else hear it too?
how easy can you make an f1 car from the 80´s nowadays with the technology avaible from nowadays cars? are they still ahead of the technology of the modern days cars?
i would love a video on this topic, its something that we all would love to have i believe!
i dont like to do this but if you agree just upvote so they can see it :)
1:21 I REALLY thought that was Andrew Dotson, been watching too much physics content lately
Thanks, They did this right. Now they need a Developed V8 Engine for of their own.
Did anyone else have a top gear ad just before this video????? Thought it was abit uncalled for .
I would get a lmp1 chassis and put a evening dress on it and make a road going hypercar.
how about a feature on helmets? like how drivers design their helmet designs and the evolution of it
Chain Bear make a good video about it
Mateusz Zimon i meant designs and liveries, not construction
Why are they still building LMP1 chassis? Won't LMP1 be replaced with LMDH?
yes Ginetta still built and development their cars, because they could race them next year. LMH will replace LMP1 and in 2022 the LMDH / new LMP2 comes. The old LMP1 can be raced next year as old generation alongside the new LMH
Track ID? 0:00
Did they crash test one? Curious how the sanctioning body actually approves a new car.
They drive it against a wall and measure if you could survive in it i guess?
Lol! Top gear advert on a drive tribe video 😂😂😂
Did anyone else have to watch a Top gear advert before this video
