This video is gaining a ton of traction recently, which is great! If you’d like to see some original endurance racing content, I’d appreciate you subscribing to my official channel: th-cam.com/users/GTRain In addition, I often get asked to upload 2014 and 2015 Le Mans to this channel. I’m not able to do that on TH-cam due to copyright restrictions, but I have both entire races archived on my Twitch channel for your enjoyment: www.twitch.tv/gt_rain/videos
I can't express how much i appreciate all your work! You've given us the chance to revisit some of the coolest races in full, will be forever greatful!
Yes I second all those positive comments. My interest in Endurance racing goes up and up and believe you me, when the views go up and up a small part of it is me watching again and again. Thank you Chris.
It's also pretty amazing that the P2 cars were doing 3:30 lap times and the absolutely awesome and amazing Toyota GT-One cars from 1998-99 did the same, if not slightly slower race lap times!!
They just knew car nerds would fap over these cars a decade later... Smart move Frenchies... Smart move. Sweet car too. Love the fact that you could run that monster 5.5L V12 (before they made em all 4L or less) and the V10s in the audi cars were just as awesome and didn't burst into flames as often (obviously)... They were pushing out something like 1200-1300+ ft-lbs of torque. And 800+hp too. In qualifying mode probably close to 1000hp... These cars did lap times under 3:20 and the 1000hp, hybrid 4wd Toyota that accelerated much faster than the Peugeot (amazing to say that) with its electric motors and did a lap time 5 seconds faster... Just shows that the Peugeot & audi cars were pushing out AMAZING power and despite not sounding great, were spectacular to watch! Idk what that 1300 ft lbs is in metric. One million Newton meters probably. 2nd best looking race car ever, just beneath the all-purple Silk Cut Jaguar XJR14 from 1992 or '93 The Jaaaaaaags also had a Cosworth F1 engine (mostly) and it sounded, as the British would say, "absolutely brilliant" I wish Jaguar had enough $$ to come race in IMSA and build some XJR14 replicas with some screaming F1 Cosworth V8's.
@@TheNecromancer6666 Only at Le Mans though. In most races against each other, between 2007 and 2011, the 908 beat the R10, R15 and R18 more times than it lost against. Yes, the 2015+ cars have since surpassed this 908 in speed.
I had a 2005 dodge ram with the Cummins diesel - 325 hp and 650 ft lbs of torque... And 7000lbs of truck... THAT THING HAULED ASS! For a truck at least... But in all seriousness, it could beat almost any car in a race from like 0-30mph lol
2:04:38 doing away with big Judd and HPD engines in the LMP2 category and removing GT1 cars from Le Mans were the two biggest mistakes ever in terms of endurance racing passion. Sad moment at the time. GT1 was a great category which stopped shining in the Le Mans Series at the end of the 00s while racing was still amazing in FIA GT. Perhaps there were something to do with the rules in LMS...
Can be expected from a country in which the people still say EYEran and EYEraq for the countries, Porsh for the German supercar and Moss-COW for Russia's capital. Apparently they say EXpresso too for the Italian coffee beverage. Never mind the animal ZEEbra and the planet Your-anus. Some efforts have been made to make the people to pronounce these things right but it seems to be a futile exercise. Hence expect "Pougot" to be around for many more years.
where is the complete race, from 24h de le mans, from last weekend, due to my work, i missed al lot of the night, will it come in time as complete 24 hours? I would much appriciated this!!!!
Lee Diffey, or whomever it is can't help but make "short" comments about Alan McNish. "the "little terrier.." "the "diminutive" Alan McNish..." WTH is that all about? What if someone said " the partially obese Lee Diffey..." or "Lee Diffey, the "rotund" commentator..."
@@Ewane at this level of racing its all about special blend.. not the average run of the mill e85 or anything specific. in other words. its out of reach for consumers.
Well the thing is the Diesel was only for the fuel efficiency, which is why both Audi and Peugeot ran Diesel. it doesn't have to do with performance or anything, it's just that within regulations, they could go farther on stints and it made sense to run it.

The picture quality for 2010 is just amazing!!

Miss GT1, the Lola Aston, the Murcielago, the Audi, the Peugeot. Miss this Le Mans :(
miss porsche, audi, jaguar, pigeot, nissan, and another
the Hypercar series might bring back those Manufacturers
Thank you for recording this race
Can't believe 10years already passed away
Start at 26:40.
Those Peugeot and Audi diesel monsters are so fast 💨
Still rememvered this classic lemans race.

Toyota GT-One nowadays looks like road car comparing to P2
Wow great quality, really good one, man. Thankss
This is AWESOME! Thanks for posting!!
Thank you! Been looking for this one.
Thank you for the upload, what a great race!
And damn do I miss SpeedTv!

This Peugeot will go into the history 👍
As what? Serial looser against Audi?
@@TheNecromancer6666 as the fastest car
@siniyden Well it wasn't. Audi beat it Lap Record. And after that both Toyota and Porsche did as well.
@@TheNecromancer6666 yes, it was. If not issues, it would do over 400 laps

Growing up I always looked at Peugeot as the villain and Audi as the hero lmao... god, high school was weird haha
If someone told me in the late 90's/early 2000's that diesel prototypes would soon be the norm at Le Mans, im not sure i would have believed them.
What about electric? For me, I'm done watching when it's entirely comprised of over-sized remote-controlled-cars.
I had a 2005 dodge ram with the Cummins diesel - 325 hp and 650 ft lbs of torque... And 7000lbs of truck...

that's Europe's main thing they race more diesel cars than gas over there i think they even have a diesel nascar style race over there too

@@recipoldinasty The future ? The first ever car was electric. From 1834.

These cars should go onto IRacing, so that we can keep that legacy going!
Most of these cars are in Forza 7

2010 is the last year we had LMP1 cars running with a V10.
Hopefully 2025 finally brings a V12 Valkyrie to LMH.
29:17 McNish had to back off, otherwise it would have been a monumental crash.
I wish the rotary engines could come back just for 1 season i would love to see the LM55 race IRL

Well Hyundai it's in WRC, and they're doing Good, that might motivate some other Korean manufacturers into Motorsports
They're in the same Grid category as Schwinn.
Audi`s are so ugly and slow
Boring diesel shit didn't last long LOL, just like that electric crap today..."trendy" .....NOTHING beats a petrol engine in ANY Dept., it never will.
