They did sound like thunder we used to go to the UK rounds back in the day with Jaguar Pit Passes as much as I loved the Jags V12s the Merc V8s used to and still do make the hairs on my neck stand up..
Just as I was browsing Group C videos.. Great timing! My favorite era of motorsport, and my favorite racing cars to this day. It was a glorious period of time.
The answer you're after is, Crazy! They would be absolutely Insane. Modern cars have far more limitations imposed upon them, which is why they are just as impressive, they get similar amounts of horsepower from much smaller engines, with far less emissions, shame about the noise though.....
@@markstedman8186 Well, in the end, even with Group C gone, F1 now fails to meet it's original aspirations as a sport that develops the very best technologies that then trickle down to road cars. Both Formula 1 and Formula E are not at the peak of available technologies, and by imposing more restrictions on the sports they are only causing the sports to fail at achieving thier original goals. For example, removal of the MGU-H units in F1 cars, constant banning/restrictions of aerodynamics modifications on F1 cars, limitations on cooling, then, on top of that, they still use tyres that need replacing on a per-race basis, the suspension is limited in what can be done to it. Formula 1 is no longer exciting, and, it is no longer innovative to the same extent that was possible in the past, all thanks to pointless regulations and failure to see ahead for the sport. Another thing is safety, it has taken them years to implement the Halo, something which should have been brought in 10 years prior, and still they are behind Indy cars that have the halo + a polycarbonate windscreen to stop drivers heads from being taken apart by car debris during the event of a collision or crash. And, although the cockpits are much better on Formula 1 cars then they were in the past, they are still not up to a safety standard equivalent with other car motorsports..... Motorsport is not as popular as it once was.
@@longnamedude3947 yes quite right, I often think what a horribly compromised formula it is now and that we'll never see another Lotus 79 or a Williams 14B and yet the teams are spending more money than ever
Great video bozzy! Group C will forever be ageless, just the diversity of shapes, sounds and manufacturers just show how much of a golden era this was for sportscars! Grazzie Bozzy, and long live the howling jags, roaring mercs and symoany puegeots along with the many others! 😁
Another excellent video, capturing these beasts in all their glory. Your dedication to your craft is astonishing, with a massive catalogue of videos. Do you ever take a weekend off?! The quality of your videos is a match for anything Eurosport produce, imo.
Sauber Mercedes still a legend of this era. Wish modern motorsports would take note of how they did it in the past. Group C had the best and most diverse looks, engine notes, and performance all put into one category. Nothing to day really comes close. Perhaps the new Hypercar segment in Le Mans will spice things up
The Gebhardt C88 Momo #174 used the same Audi 5cyl motor from the Audi Group B. Pretty cool stuff, very rare, I believe that was back from 1988. Edit: Fun fact it would be the same 5cyl motor used in the later B5 S4, and that block is capable of 1000bhp.
When I see these beauties, I'm happy to be "old" and to have known this era of motorsport
Gonna tell my kids that "this was motorsport
"
Paul Dupond the good ole days of big V8s and wide open!
Paul Dupond who said you were “old” these cars breaded the foundation of Lmp period.💪🏾 tbh these are way more exciting to watch
I'm only 16, and I envy that so much. I'd love to have lived through the period when these cars dominated Le Mans.
Those cars are a dream, and i am pround that i felt this dream 4 years ago at Le mans classic
Those Sauber-Mercs sound like thunder
Agree, so impressive
They did sound like thunder we used to go to the UK rounds back in the day with Jaguar Pit Passes as much as I loved the Jags V12s the Merc V8s used to and still do make the hairs on my neck stand up..
Saw the Mercs in 1988 at Sandown when they were in black
@@idontwantacallsign The Chevrolet powered Intrepid cars were thunderous as well.
Back in the day I could never get enough of that deep rumble of the Mercedes C-9, C-10 and C-11.
So happy the new owner of the Peugeot 905 is taking her to the track :) That F1 like howl is so addictive!
That's because it is an F1 spec engine, so it's just a rebidied F1 car
Should have a listen to the Lola t92/10
peugeot 905 .......one of the most beatifull cars ever
7:15 that turbo whistle is incredible!!!
Damn that gave me goosebumps.
XJR-9 is one of the best sounding cars ever.
Iwannafly nicht so gut wie der Mercedes C 11
@@svennomat du bist recht, das C11 war super und gross!
svennomat lol lola t92 and Aston Martin AMR-1 put it to sleep
Just as I was browsing Group C videos.. Great timing! My favorite era of motorsport, and my favorite racing cars to this day. It was a glorious period of time.
Footage is so good we really do take for granted all of the camera transitions. Great work.
Nice video. Really like the shots at 7:57 and 8:55 when you can hear the cars accelerating.
Fabulous racing machines from a glorious era. Sadly, we'll never see anything like it again. Thanks for another great video 👍😊
Man... this '80s cars are so beautiful, they had everything just right.
My gosh, that 905 sounds amazing ♥
Group C: most amazing racecars ever!
Big thanks to all the engineers who designed these amazing machines for all of us to enjoy.
There's just something really special about how Group C sounds.
That Merc is a monster!
The Mercedes Saubers just sound absolutely evil
If only the championship were still around to this day. Who knows how things would be
The answer you're after is, Crazy! They would be absolutely Insane.

It was getting too popular so the powers that be sabotaged it, can't let anything threaten f1.

Beautiful cars & Awesome camera work Bozzy!
I'm a simple man, I see group C I click like.
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful music for the ears especially the Mercedes-Benz C11, the Peugeot 905 and the older Silk Cut Jaguar💪💪
That effect at 12:39. Aw man that was just amazing
That chevy v8 is a banger
The distinctive Chevy V8 sounds so much like the Chevy V8 in a Lola T70 from the late '60's.
I think these are rebuilt xjr9's, as they aren't fitted with real wheel covers. But that V12 as well as the Peugeot V10 is pure racing music!!
I love how differently teams approach spoilers for aerodynamics use.
These souds cause raising of the hairs on my neck - what an era! But especially that Peugeot 905 sounds pretty brutal... ;-)
Ahhh... so many formulas for the same series (albeit different vintages): flat 6, V6, V8, V10, V12 and rotary 👍
Great video bozzy! Group C will forever be ageless, just the diversity of shapes, sounds and manufacturers just show how much of a golden era this was for sportscars! Grazzie Bozzy, and long live the howling jags, roaring mercs and symoany puegeots along with the many others! 😁
That Peugeot sounds great!
Those flybys are GLORIOUS!
Wish we had these pure and raw engine sounds in the Forza Motorsport
That channel where I like videos before I watched it and never regret :) thx again
Few things sound as awesome as that C11.
Great camera angle at 8.20 shows the speed beautifully
Another excellent video, capturing these beasts in all their glory. Your dedication to your craft is astonishing, with a massive catalogue of videos. Do you ever take a weekend off?! The quality of your videos is a match for anything Eurosport produce, imo.
My all time favorite class! These are still awesome!
I wish Gran Turismo would add more Group C beasts like these 😔
Get ac or rfactor 2
the sad part is that they never get the exhaust sounds right.
Iwannafly sound like hair dryers
@@corsamode after all these years its incredible the sound designers still think that BOSH vacuum cleaners is the golden standard for engine sounds..
I really want a Peugeot 905 or the legendary Minolta Toyota in GT sport
That Mercedes C11 is just angry!
XJR-14 and C91 were amazing
Group C was like heaven on wheels. Still is.
Group C ladies and gentlemen 🔥🔥🙌🙌
I've always wondered, why do all racing mechanics rev engines this way at 1:25? Does it help warm things better than steady revs? For piston rings?
We need to bring back Group C!
I would like to see a crazy Mazda 787b
No favorites here.... just glorious sound all around.
"In tartiflette we trust" haha
Wow that Peugeot at full chat gorgeous
Ohhh.....tears in my eyes and my heart goes pitty pat pat!
La 905 !!! Ce V10 😲😍😍😍💖
The silk cut jaguars! So nice
DUDE ... UTTERLY PERFECT editing, love the flow you gave us all the way around and of course all these amazing machines! Thanks Bozzy!
Loved em great hearing the different exhaust notes when chaining up music to my ears
When race car design is left to the engineers, instead of the rules makers, you get these glorious old race cars! Take me back in time! Today sucks
An sport which its past is way way better than its present.
Magnificent - & not an Audi in sight. Those were the days.
ufffffff Fantastic sound.. goes instant under skin
The Porsche 962 is such a beauty
For sure ome of the great eras of motorsport.
I have been there at the Ring 1991 and 92 , unforgettable !!!!!!
God I miss FIA Group C and IMSA GTP!
The c11 is the best sounding car i ever heard and I'm not a huge v8 fan.
yep. that deep v8 bellow is absolutely evil!
this videos are fantastic ! thank's !
This is motorsound pure, I like this 👍👍👍👍👍
Sauber mercs sound like thunder I miss group C I'll probably never get see one in person thank u bozzy
9:58 What powerplant does that No 31 Mercedes have in it? Car looks and sounds nice.

Exceptional film-making … as always!
Espectacular!! estos son autos hermosos y esos sonidos infernales que enamoran
antes que coche yo diria prototipos o naves espaciales :P los coches son las mierdas que manejamos todos los dias nosotros.
7:35
8:22
11:13
The three stages of V10 goosebumps
the pops and crackles after a long straight UGH wipe me off the floor

Spettacolo....!!!! Grazie !!!!
Another outstanding job. Thanks Bozzy!
8m54s in...... that is one amazing sound 🎵🎶
Wanted to like the video but there are/were exactly 962 likes and I feel that's a better expression of my feelings and appreciation. :)
Thanks for sharing! Choosing my favourite is a very touch challenge with this category :)
that Turbo flutter at 12:10 sooo nice :O
Thank you for the video! Always the best
Mercedes c11 was my favorite
What is that 7:50
What a fab video. Thank you.
Group C cars are all potential GT Sport DLC cars... I hope we also get some of the less known ones like the Alfa!
What a sound. Great video.
Mazda 787b group c?
I just love these cars. Damn!!
NICE!!💪👍. I Love the sound, music for me!
God bless the V8 Race eingines
Is the white 19 a C2 Argo like the one used by Martin Schanke ?
0:23 "In tartiflette we trust" ahahah good one !
Its nice to watch the Kouros Mercedes on track
Harald Heilmann Sauber
The red MOMO car -- what power plant does it have? The KOUROS Grp C, is that another Porsche 956?
Man I really wish I got to experience these things in real life ,racing at Le Mans what sounds
7:13 what the hell is that 5 cylinder turbo car?
Great 👍 cars and great sound
Man that Richard Mille owns everything...
O Circuito Veloz é Pura Emoção .
Only missing the mazda 787b to be in heaven
