I love the way the older cars "dance" around a circuit. Not as quick or precise or efficient as today's machines, of course, but there's personality and character. We have gained quicker lap times and lost something else in the process.
"Style" THAT is what was lost. Cars were styled to look good as well as being (somewhat) aerodynamic back in the day. Arguably, the best styled race cars raced between 1960-1972. As for real cars driven by real men... That gets old quick. Men had what they had at the time, they dealt with that, because they didn't know better. And safety took a back seat to everything else. Men today deal with the same task in a different and most importantly safer way. The cars are quicker and are just as fast today as they were in the 60's and team owners also asks pilots to be more efficient, that is still asking a lot of pilots today in a different and probably less "fun" way. Electronic controls just take the fun away of driving, power steering? That is only useful when the car is parked and removes steering "feel" while driving so that would have minimal use in a race, I don't think any race car (should) have it. In the 60's aerodynamics were only starting to be used on the cars to be more efficient and stable going down fast courses. Race cars now have more aero aids to stabilise the cars at speed for safety of both the drivers and the people watching the race. That only evolution, it had to happen. About that thing, safety, the pilot doesn't have to die each time a car crashes either. That's how "real men" and race heros Bruce Mclaren and Ken Miles (how many more???) got killed by the way. Both GT40 pilots.
@@robertpoudrette4483 You learned all that from driving sims? Nice theory but it's not true. Power steering has very little to do with standing still in a race car. When you're diving into a corner and forces (braking and lateral) are trying to pull you out of the seat and rip the wheel out of your hands. Then is when you appreciate power steering. I grew up around race cars and later worked on them as well as drove them. My uncle drove dirt track cars and without power steering they are almost impossible to drive. Later I worked on exotic cars and our shop had a race car as well as worked on many, many of them. From Porsche club drivers all the way up to Trans Am. Power steering allowed for more radical steering geometry since steering force wasn't an issue. More camber, wider tires, less toe in. Also allowed for higher steering ratio which gave quicker steering
@@jackflash6377 Well, somebody (was it you?) was talking about real men driving real cars... Power steering and all aids being introduced for some sort of inferior version of race car pilot.

I was there, incredible Week-end, seeing all those legends racing, no hybrids or electrics, pure V8,V10,V12, Flat-6/12 action, the smell of old good racing cars, seeing some childhood Gran Turismo Legends like the 908, the 905, the Esperante GTR-1 and other GT1 cars and even getting close to the Jaguar XJR-9 before they load it in the truck sunday.

Truly incredible, the only two sad things were the weather (cloudy, lots of wind with some rain.) and the Howmet TX missing this year. Can't wait for the 2020 edition already.
Thanks for this video. Great driving and a fabulous machine. No ABS, no traction control, no stabiity control, clutch pedal and shifter, mid engine V8 power. A real race car.
Thanks Bozzy, again. great job from you: nice memorial video of one of the 3 major race cars of the 20th century: GT 40, 917, 330 P3/P4. Have a nice week, pierre
Such a fantastic and amazing piece of art and machinery. The vehicle has so much character, soul and passion. You can't get that feeling, and that character in any vehicles these days.
Such a fantastic car! Beautiful as few. Shelby is a genius much ahead of his time. Thanks for the video. See two GT40 in the same footage, without any stupid music worth a lot.
Shelby didn't design it. In fact he didn't design anything he wasn't an engineer. Great team manager though who knew how to get the best people around him
Excellent audio and video - love it always. American cars may not have all the victories of European cars, but we clearly have the best sounding engines on the planet!
Been multiple times tot classic le mans. If you love these cars and you live in or near France, I strongly suggest tot visit this event. To hear and feel the gt40's go full throttle at start finish is Just amazing. Everything is virbrating by the sounds they produce: you, everyone around you, the pavement, the tribunes. Just amazing (the classic racing Corvettes and the gt40's have this effect on their surroundings)
This is why I love The Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans, there was beautiful music made on the Mulsanne Straight as the cars were aloud to stretch their legs to top gear. Still how can anyone not like this video is beyond me
meh length of exahust is more volume than anything, most of the sound is in the lightweight rotating assembly (hence why it sounds so snappy) and 180 degree headers (180s on crossplane V8s create an awesome symphony that sounds like a hybrid of a crossplane and flatplane)

Ive been following your channel for a long time but recently you've raised the bar, these onboard angles and mic setups are sublime.
You can feel the lack of grip, car is just floating on circuit. And it turns just by applying throttle. Driving of GT40 is true art.
A legend! Man, that audio quality (on headphones) is amazing. Like you are sitting just next to the driver!
It's not a car, it's not a super car . It's just magic. The Best car of the world.
I can’t even imagine the prep and knowledge it took for this car to run like this for 24 hours...and amazing driving skills!
