What an amazing line up of manufacturer cars, thank you so much for this upload! CLK 911 GT1 GT One Nissan R390 BMW V12 F1 GTR And not to forget that VIPER
Wow,! Watching this Oct. 2022. Speed vision based in Stamford, CT, just 1 mile from my birth place. Sam from Sharon, CT. Sat and Sun this channel covered 24 Le Man, Canadian F1, and World Super Bike from Nurburgring. What a motorsport buffet 👍👌🏆🏁. Great looking back now from New Hampshire. 🇺🇲👍
So you're saying that 1998 - 2003 is 10 years? By the way Porsche GT1 and the CLK-LM are also in the same style of early 2000's prototypes. In fact the Porsche GT1 resembles the Bentley LMP from 2002 And that's because technology in aerodynamics didn't change much from 98 to 2002
@@FriendlyCroock They are less complex aerodynamically, the 911 and CLK LM was not in the same class as the Speed 8, nor the '99 Toyota TS020. Ten year ahead in time, we saw Audi R10 if not R12 by then? And Peugeot 908. The Bentley was a GT Prototype, (So a closed cockpit LMP900 I believe) with designers shared with the 905 evo 2 supercopter, and same chassis as the R8C (I believe, or atleast I think it was one or other dallara R8 chassis) But I agree with the centiment of your message :) It was cutting edge, and should have won le mans in 99, but it wasn't leagues ahead of the competition.
@@Bullshit_Media Man what on earth are you even talking about. You do know there was a different Speed 8 in 2002 right? I'm not talking about the one with the Panoz front from 2003. But some of you are acting as if there were 25 years between 1998 and 2003 It's only 5 years. It's pretty much the same technology.
@@FriendlyCroock I think I was trying to say that five and 10 years ahead in time, the TS010 would not be competetive. Yes I realize it's the 2002 Speed 8 you were talking about, but isn't that just a futher developed R8C? It is only five years, but LMP1/LMP900 became the top category. As far as I know, they were less restricted, and they didn't have to build homlogation cars. So the Toyota would not be competetive. I might be way off, if so never mind. I think I agree with you! But I am a idiot, and that must have hinderd me :D
Toyota , Mercedes, Porsche, bmw, Nissan, Ferrari Just amazing how many manufacturers competed at lemans. Hopefully we can this type of competition with LMDH/LMH covergence
Amazing upload mister! Nice shot from the back of the Toyota, with that brake-duct bopping up and down along with the suspension. And look: It's Tsuchiya! Doooooriftoh!
The track has changed so much in the last 20 years. It's also crazy to see so many people in the pit lane, I'm surprised there wasn't a lot more accidents.
I regret to be the one dissenting voice here. While I'm very appreciative of you taking the trouble to upload, I stopped watching halfway through part 2 as the team covering this race apparently thought that showing pit activities and stranded drivers changing batteries ad nauseam are far more deserving of coverage than the actual race out on the track.
Its interesting to see during those years how important development matters, the 1998 BMW could fight with the big boys but that same car in privateers hands in 1999 it was nowhere, where as the 1999 BMW again could fight Toyota and Merc and eventually won the 1999 race, then again in 2000 when BMW quit the 1999 car was still racing in the American Le Mans against the 2000 Audi R8 and got destroyed but 1 year development.
Davey Jones was great driver in all kinds of cars. He won Le Mans and Daytona 24, came in 2nd at Indianapolis. Was very competitive in IMSA. He suffered a couple of head injuries in crashes and it affected his speech. Does it make you feel superior to make fun of his speech impediment?

Great upload. The freezing is a little annoying though.
I thought at first it was just my PC. Haha, thanks for the relief that my CPU wasn't dying.
@@gregoryvanhulle3607 Same here - had to check whether the video timer was still going. xD Guess that's just one of the quirks of 18 year old footage.
Watching this ahead of the 2023 24h Le Mans centennary race.
Endurance racing is now in a new golden era after this late 90s one.
those were the days.... at least 10 cars capable of wining overall.

This is treasure! Thanks!
The Le Mans I remember as having one of the most exiting line ups ever. Thank you for uploading this treasure!
'99 was also great!
Still watching this in 2021. What a great lineup of manufacturers then....
Thank you for the fantastic upload!

You don't happen to have the 1997 coverage do you? I'd love to see that one!
thanks you . This is the first le mans i`ve ever seen and i fell in love with this king of motorsport , i was 11 yo . This was very cool
this is the single greatest commentary i've ever heard, drunk guy is my favorite
That's Davey Jones, this was after he had a real bad wreck at Indy. He was never the same, here he is still recovering, not drunk.
...these GT ONE-s were 10 years ahead of their times...amazing!

And that's because technology in aerodynamics didn't change much from 98 to 2002
Yet they failed to win a single race. I struggle to understand the cult following for this car. Then again, I never played Gran Turismo...

They are incompetent, not unlucky.
This ages well 😂
Thanks sooooo much for sharing! you are the best! loved this
Thank you for posting. This is a treasure.
Thank you to upload ... Amazing sound
thanks for the upload. When you compare this to today's watered down 24hlm, you got to ask yourself what the hell happened.
🤔Formel 1 happend and Porsche had no money for the Top Class till 2014.🤷♂️
Not only beautiful cars but also awesome liveries.
This year of Le Mans produced some of the most impressive GT1 cars - and who would have guessed at the fates of the Toyotas and Mercedes?
Ah, remember when this sort of video quality was top notch? God rest standard definition.
Instead of upscaling some boring 1898 scene in a western town to 4k, how about someone gets this awesomeness to 4k 60fps already.
Toyota , Mercedes, Porsche, bmw, Nissan, Ferrari
Just amazing how many manufacturers competed at lemans. Hopefully we can this type of competition with LMDH/LMH covergence
so much more fun than le mans nowadays, thanks for the upload
great video play list, hope you can edit out the 2-3 second freezes / annoying noise

How plowed was that announcer? I mean, when you employ a man named Davy Jones i suppose that is to be expected.

@@tmolne117 Yeah, we all make mistakes. He was a great driver. You should watch some of his old IMSA races. Very fast. Take care.

Terrible quality... This blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring is so annoying.
It's perfectly watchable.
Shut up whiny ass
Too bad it's not super HD since that was totally a thing back then.
Better than nothing, you bitch
Gives it a YTP quality.
They all say some obvious shit
For the average TV viewer.
Lol now that I’m older watching this… I realized all the commentators were pretty much coked out. Especially my man Davey Jones
