In 1992 I went to the 24hrs at Daytona. During the race, especially at night, sitting in the grandstands you could almost feel the Jaguars coming from the very specific note and roar their engines made. God damn I miss those days.
Wow, the camera angle at Eau Rouge at around 4:40 is fantastic. One of the coolest Group C cars ever at one of the coolest race tracks on earth THANKS BOZZY!!
Listening to that fantastic sound brings back so many memories of Le Mans 1988 and being part of the 50,000 strong British contingent witness jaguar conquering Le Mans after so many years being dominated by Porsche a memory I will never forget
I was there that year too. I was 14 and me and my best mate were part of a coach trip that went, I've still got the T shirt I brought with the jag on it. Great memories😊
I saw this Jag V12 win as Tullius entrant at Riverside, and later as "Bud Light" car at Laguna Seca before the turbo V6, and I never heard it sound this healthy as it does as a "classic race" entrant. Bravo to the current tech! Nice vid!
Great video of this classic, Bozzy! That V12 with Medusa-style exhaust headers, is pure magic! It's really awesome that you get to video these cars up close and personal in the garage like that. LOL on the co-pilot at 0:13 !😂😂 Did you notice the guy playing peek-a-boo with you and sneaking a photo at 3:32? He knows a celebrity when he sees one.😆 How about that roostertail at 6:47? Awesome vantage point! Now about the shifting... while it isn't lightning fast like today's cars, the sound it makes between shifts is so wicked!😍 Keep doing what you do, bro! Cheers!
Thank you so much as always bro! I'm in love with that long "break" between every upshifts ;) And I'd like to be that teddy bear for a few laps to be honest hahah
Bozzy, why do you keep reading my mind? Please, tell me. I am like, in such a V12 mood right now and then you showed up with your friends and was like, have a Jag. T H A N K Y O U ! Also, what's with all these collabs? Does it help get more film? Do you do it for fun? what's your take on it?
hahah Glad you like it! There are many reasons for those collabs but let's say the main one is to get more shots of the cars we want to record the most. Like during Spa Classic the GT1 cars (Murcielago, MC12, 550 Maranello etc) only had three 20-minutes sessions during the whole weekend. Being three people on three different points it makes a great difference in terms of how many different angles you can have instead of just a couple if I was alone there
I noticed the spike in footage ever since you started collabing. Really is a win-win for everyone here. the collabers get a shoutout, you more footage, and the viewers longer videos to watch.
19Bozzy92 Also Bozzy, do you plan on going to anymore WEC events anytime soon? Because I really like seeing those cars, my favourite sounding being the 488 GTE. (Some say I'm odd for liking it over the 458)
Wade Pilkington I agree. People talk of the Porsche 917 era but it only lasted for two years whereas Group C lasted for nine years. We never had it so good. V12s, V8s, twin turbo V8s, flat 6s, turbo flat 6s, turbo fours, some hideous screeching rotaries... and all from a fuel allocation formula.
my HSV Vxr8 Bathurst S is a Walkinshaw Performance tuned car (TWR). To me this Jaguar is my favourite car in the World. The noise from that V12 is better than sex.
When this car raced during LeMans in 1990, the front end would lift up down the Mulsanne Straight at over 370 km/h. Danish John Nielsen's team engineers, didn't understand why the rear wheels we doing 370+ km/h, while the front wheels only did around 250 km/h :)

Danish John Nielsen's team engineers, didn't understand why the rear wheels we doing 370+ km/h, while the front wheels only did around 250 km/h :)"_ That's actually not very difficult to explain. The first thing to realise is that tyre slip needs to be factored into it. Tyre slip is the small amount of wheelspin a driving wheel has, even though it is not losing a lot of traction. In fact, tyre manufacturers design their products with this in mind. People frequently calculate what a car's theoretical top speed will be according to revs and gearing. But that doesn't give you a very valid answer if you leave out tyre slip. The usual factor is 1.1 so a car doing a measurable speed of 300 km/h will have the driving wheels revolving at 330 km/h. Normally the front wheels should revolve at 300. However - and I stress that I don't know whether this feature was used in the Jaguar - designers at that time were messing with soft rear suspension to limit the angle of attack under load. At very high speeds - like 320 km/h or more - the rear suspension would sag slightly, minutely lowering drag. This is potentially incredibly dangerous but Group C was a fuel efficiency formula and drag reduction was extremely important. Formula One tried with with rear wing pedestals until they started failing and putting people into barriers. Anyhow, the reduced pressure on the front wheels might explain why they are turning more slowly. So the Jag would have been doing about 336 km/h and losing the remaining the remaining 34 km/h in tyre slip. Having the car moving about in pitch like that thoughts just plain dangerous but how could you stop it?
Would the slip ratio split would be that high towards vmax, though? I had trouble finding information on the relationship of slip vs speed, but with torque at its lowest and downforce at its highest, I've no doubt there would be some discrepancy.
this is the car that the zonda r was probably based off of i dont think its a coincidence the sound exactly alike they have similar displacements and the same amount of cylinders and most likely the same firing order
It's hard to imagine that the engine in that car almost the exact engine was available, though very detuned, and at 5.3L, in a humble 4 door saloon with air conditioning and 300hp.
I wonder if it has a bad valve spring or something, it sounds like its hitting valve float or an rpm limit while continuing to rise in rpm for a split second before he changes gear. if it was a rpm limit surely it would not continue to rise. strange.
do you have more video of the red car at 8:35? the one with the big MOMO stickers on it, i can't place the car. that one had a even better sound than the jaguar.
How loud is this xjr compared to a r8 lms ultra or to an trans am car, this are the car that are in my country, maybe a xjr will never come, so i want to know a reference to know how loud it is please
Not the same engine size, the xjr 12 seems to sound a bit better than the 9, I had the oppurtunity to hear the XJR9 in person, it sounds goddly perfect butbthe XJR12 seems to be above the gods 😁
There is one for a long time already: www.groupcracing.com/ And in contrast to BOSS GP I don't think they allow cars running with non-original engines.
7.4 liter V12, 750 hp and a soundtrack out of this world, hmmmm the good old days...
Top job once again Bozzy!
Thank you so much!!
It says 7.0 though
7.0
America's Choice bro look at the comment above yours lmao

i hope you keep all your videos in a vault, for the sake of mankind's memory :D
Right know they're only stored in my wardrobe hahah
one of the best sounding engine i've ever heard, AMAZING!
A video that deserves a big like. This mighty Group C machine in action in the rain is just unbeatable!
Glad you liked it!
ah... nothing beats the bellowing howl of a group C Jag, pure bliss to the ears!!
While I prefer the rumble of the Sauber C11, this thing sounds like an absolute beast!
I like the video being edited so it looks like some linear laps and not random clips glued together !
My god those headers are a thing of art!!!!
What are headers?
Headers are the first part of the exhaust pipes.
@@abdurali8855 exhaust manifolds
One of my all time favorite cars. Plus it has to be one of the best sounding in all of racing.
Next to 917 porshe ,and 333sp ferrari
A beautiful (and legendary) British racecar, great video!
Thank you!
Group C is one of my Favorite classes, The Sound is Awesome!
That is such a beautiful car! Absolute masterpiece!
Takes me back to Le Mans, Silverstone and Spa early 1990's those were the days
Wow, the camera angle at Eau Rouge at around 4:40 is fantastic. One of the coolest Group C cars ever at one of the coolest race tracks on earth THANKS BOZZY!!
That's one of my favorite place to record at Spa, really a special one. Thank you for watching it!
Thanks for posting Bozzy, great video as always! What a glorious, majestic sound. That upshift at 3:56 ... it's like something from another world!
5:15 😍
5:15 that upshift is 💥
Demonic V12 sound!
My favourite racing car sound, ever.
shift at 2:45 cured my cancer
5:15 cured mine
dont call that on your self
@@MysterDaftGame that timestamp, not gonna lie, was a way better one lol
one of my all time fav racers - Matt
Brings back great memories as I was with the team at Le Man in '87.
i was there on sunday, first time seeing an actual race.
i was honestly suprised how loud the damn things are.
I saw them in Barcelona, I was in the grand stands, the reverb there was phenomenal 😁
Bozzy, thank you thank you thank you! What an incredible video. Thank you to your friends who assisted with footage also. Just magical.

GOD BLESS THAT REDUCTION ! The sound of the roaring gods 😍😍😍

Awesome video ! My uncle worked on these silk cut jags when they were new
Great to hear that! Thank you
I have seen two of these and i stod behind one while starting up!
There is richness to this sound like no other. Only from n/a V12.
Thats the sound of Perfection😍
i love to hear the kitten purr... good stuff. thank you for posting.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching it!
the sound is so peaceful. :)
Has to be one of the best sounding V12’s ever. Just how a Jaguar should be. I miss those days.
I was with the XJR 9 a couple of days ago. The museum guide let us have a look inside - I wish I could have turned on the engine to hear that V12!
All time greatest prototype racing cars. So much better looking without the wheel covers... epic sound.. thanks for posting!!
In the wet, a cloud of dust and a high oo silver. A amazing car love it.
It's a beautiful, champion car and has the name of Salazar... it couldn't be better.
This car makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧👍🏼
AaronArmstrong030792 carries on winning in the lister storm v12 aswell
Group C surely has the best soundtrack of any racing series. The V12 Jags, The Sauber Mercs, the rotary Mazda to name but a few.
Those up shifts, especially from 3rd to 4th sound terrifying lolol
Nice shots of the beast headed up Eau Rouge with a rooster tail of spray. Excellent sights and sounds as always Bozzy!
Thank you so much! You have to thank my friend Italiansupercarvideo for that shot ;)
Rip Tom Wilkinshaw great man , group c was the best. Le man's 88 was top class.
The ignition of the car Bozzy 😍😍😍
Sounds kinda like a Zonda. Beautiful

Thank you so much dude!
Doesn't sound anything like a 917... Great video and sounds though.
This car sound reminds me of Porsche 917K flat-12! What an absolute monster! My all time favourite group C cars was the Monsterious Jag XJR9 and XJR12
top MUSIC !!
Beautiful looking car!
This cat has some serious claws...and nothing beat the orchestra of the V12 enigine...automobile perfection...
Wow, that was some bad weather on Friday, but great footage in the wet!
Yeah quite a shame for that day but still I enjoyed the track action ;)
And the cars where awesome, best Spa Classic yet. Murcielago R-SV best V12 sound of the weekend? Yes, even better then the Jaguar. Only just. :P
Great video as always, epic car!
Thank you so much!
Bring this back to 24h Le Mans 😍💪😍
It has raced in Le mans legend and won since :)
Bassmint I know but i mean that this cars should come "back" and not this Hyprid Cars
eh, i like the Hybrids. They have their own unique sound. They're also ridiculously quick.
Bassmint Jes that sure but i like this LeMans a bit more but Ok 😉
Everyone has their opinions. I don't dislike either, but if i had to pick between the best sound it would be the old cars for sure.
Awesome sound that remember me le mans 1989-1990
More Spa Classic videos please!! V12 Ferrari sounds are needed.
Many more videos coming soon!
Oh group C...we miss you so much☹️
I worked on the bodywork manufacture of this car. Still looking good. I note the rear wheel covers are missing.
jaguar xjr-12 silk cut castrol very nice cars
I have a dream..... a dream in Bozzy will get to meet the 787B
That's my dream too XD
Go for it man!
Worst sound ever. Ear splitting and not fun at all.
Ya damn right
Un altro bellissimo video!! Complimenti
I fel in love with this car in project cars 2. Sound of that fucking engine...
Watched these racing at Silverstone back in the day,I thought my ears would bleed as they flew past!
Rain from pits until Esau rouge then the rest of the track is dry blows my mind
Strange weather at Spa... XD
6:20 He disappeared lol
Absolutely beautiful driving
What a beast
PERFECT.💋❤💛💙
THAT IS A COOL RACE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....WOW.👍🐈🙋
Sweet whip!
LEGEND!

unusual diffuser shape.
🤔 do all group C cars have their axles going through the diffuser like that?
I think the ones which had low downforce undertrays (Porsche, Sauber) probably didn't. But the underside was probably less steep.
