Remember 3 years ago during the same conditions. One of Lamborghini teams was sandbagging and imsa had no idea how to BOP the cars and those lambos were running down P2s. I wonder if we'll see that again?
it'll be a little while before electric cars even have a chance in long endurance races. Electric cars are already having problems with their batteries lasting in short races, overheating and losing charge and power during the race. Not to mention a 24 hour race endurance race... They would have to develop quick removable battery systems since batteries take a long time to charge, and more heat efficient wiring systems, and cooler electric motors (maybe radiator cooled?). This is all assuming they're still using Lithium Ion batteries, and that Solid State Batteries won't become a thing soon.
@@yammmit yes, you can leave and come back anytime during the race. you can also sit anywhere you want. Infield or Grandstands, you are also permitted to bring in your own food and alcohol :)
The very first time I saw them at Le Mans, it sounded like they had accelerated over 3-500 rpm.. slowly up the revs, like a truck. Though the speed is much higher.. a more or less constant tone.
You aren't. Mercedes opted to keep the M159 from the SLS GT3 when designing the current Mercedes-AMG GT3. I think their reasoning was that it was less complex and it's a known commodity.
Excellent music!! I could listen to this as a meditative calming medium. It is great dinner music. Why not in an elevator? I am dead serious. But, could the Corvettes be any quieter? How un-aggressive they now sound compared to the past!!
Todd Burgess I also think the Corvettes may have some sort of sound restriction due to rules, but I may be wrong. I don’t think that’s as loud as they can be.
Eijah Dobkins look it up, the engine specs were released about a month or two ago. It features a flat plane crank instead of the traditional cross plane crank. That’s why it’s higher pitched and not deep and growly anymore. The new crank offers higher redline for better performance I hear. Same crank Ferrari uses, which is why their V8s are higher pitched also
Oooooooh I can Smell the Air ✌my nephew lives down there says it's like always nuts ,🤗he's down there and I'm in Indiana one hour from 🤗 Indianapolis ✌🤗👋
A DOHC, flat plane, mid-engine Corvette... they should have just named it The Ferrari. - Edit: I'm not even entirely convinced that it's a DOHC engine. Why is GM being so secretive about it?
gt 2300 corvettes always had a chance and were just as competitive which is amazing considering it’s front engine. They had so many bad breaks last year and restrictions from dominating
So after seeing a couple hours worth of footage on the C.8R, i have to say, it doesn't look like its preforming amazingly, but that is to be expected with new GT Cars, the team and drivers aren't completely comfortable or should i say familiar, but what i can say for sure is that it sounds horrible and the looks are great as a sports car but as a Corvette, it looks like shit.
I'm a huge Corvette lover and I like the way it looks but hate the way they changed the motor and sound... if it's only 500 hp then why not have the ls9 engine
@@williamparker2922 most American car enthusiast should be saying this, they took away what was unique about the Corvette, a RWD, front engine, cross plane V8, american Sports Car. its like putting a V8 in a Viper or a V6 in a ford G.............they already did that. with the apparent rumors about there being a new Viper race car i hope when we see an official "prototype" it still looks like a Viper and has a 8.4L V10. but again this car looks cool but it just doesn't look like a corvette, at least the Ford GT still somewhat resembles a Ford GT, just extremely modernized. i had a feeling when the Ford GT came out that it was gonna be under preforming and would be bad quality car and i was right it won a handful of races and it crashes pretty much every year at spa, i have a bad feeling about this corvette and i hope it's not the same story here.
3:50 It's nice to hear a Mazda brapping even though it doesn't have a rotary.
8:10 the lady got scared when he revved 😂😂😂
Hehe.. her arms and shoulders jumped
🤣🤣
Bro I dont blame her that thing is nasty
I spent way to long paused at 0:59 studying that Porsche wheel.
Kevin Harper it’s like Simon says x10
Same
LET'S GO PORSCHE !!!!! Good luck 912. 911 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
TMaster needs a replica lol
It's a piece of art
I can't wait to see how the new Corvettes do, all these cars look freaking incredible!
Remember 3 years ago during the same conditions. One of Lamborghini teams was sandbagging and imsa had no idea how to BOP the cars and those lambos were running down P2s. I wonder if we'll see that again?
I can hear them from my house, and be there tomorrow night hopefully......
1blindmarc damn you luck
Same here! It should be dry racing all night long. Camping?
You are one lucky SOB.
All I can hear from my house is nothing. Fucking living in the middle of nowhere.
@@Bossix84 lol
Thanks!!! Far superior to what IMSA is providing!!
Yeah what gives imsa?!
We'll see what hypercars brings
@@adoyaben is IMSA getting hyper cars too?? I know WEC is but i didnt know imsa was getting them too
@@northtexasskies3243 Imsa and wec are going to get a shared chassis class, so not really hypercars, but still shared
IMSA needs to hire LankyTurtle to upload videos for them.
3:50 geez is Mazda running a Jake brake? I’ve never heard their car sound like that. Maybe an updated anti lag system?
CJSchecter96 my exact same thought 😂
I've heard it in person a couple of times last year and thought "wtf?" Lol
But they only sound like that low speeds....
Seems like anti lag
Lol
traction control
I think I'm offically a racing addict becuase I've been watching this for half an hour and its relaxing ke
These really are the good old days. I can't imagine that racing will ever be this diverse, interesting and visceral again.
Enjoy the loud sounds before electric replace everything

GT racing won't turn electric for the next few years, I don't thinl prototypes will either.
@@Maenfy NOTHING is going to, for a VERY long time, electric cars aren't even remotely close to being competitive.
Electric cars will never replace the gas engine especially in racing. Not in your lifetime
Hope the c8 makes some history
Amen
When a Corvette sounds more like a Ferrari than a Ferrari
Those little lights in front....geeeeenius
The C8 just might surprise everyone. I believe it’s a game changer. 😎
@@marksanders2587 Well that's actually a common thing in GT racing.
Beautiful. Thank you. You're a legend.
Got my NBC TrackPass. I'm so ready for the racing season to start!!!
Damn.. have seen it last year, but the new Porsche is really noisy. Awesome
Absolutely glorious hardware- every car.
Awesome footage, beautiful HD quality
I can’t wait till race day is here 👍. Thanks Lanky
Thanks for the post. Amazing sounds!
Just got in to town. Spending the next 3 days right there!
This will be my 13th year in a row going to the Rolex24 at Daytona!! I can't wait for this event!!
Aaron D'Amato how does it work if you’re attending a 24hr race? can you leave when you want if you need to sleep?
@@yammmit yes, you can leave and come back anytime during the race. you can also sit anywhere you want. Infield or Grandstands, you are also permitted to bring in your own food and alcohol :)
what's the normal price for this?
@@GeoSnipesW $95 for both days, and that includes garage passes
Aaron D'Amato that’s actually pretty good. If I didn’t live many hundreds of miles away I’d definitely attend.
Watching them all run down for the fast line in turn 1, for the first lap is incomparable. Best race in the world. Go Ford! Go BMW!
Can not wait to see how the new vettes do this year!
Ooo I can’t wait!
He Unfiltered pleasure of being in the paddock
The Vette is sick
Thx. Great video. Will be at track tomorrow can’t wait
very nice close look at the cars
Love the soundtrack. Nice editing to bud!
Michael Roberts where is bud?
yammmit you've never been to bud? You haven't lived! (I neglected the second o in to lol!)
Boi that Porsche sounds so meaty
You're my favorite sub ever man, thank you
You're the bride and everyone is looking a you sunshine! Go Corvette.
Z06 is going to be incredible
It would be nice to hear the sound of old V8 Can Am! I cry for those times
The new Corvette sounds like it got neutered. xD
The Porsche sounds like a ford...
@@mountjoy23 Yep, forced induction now.
The very first time I saw them at Le Mans, it sounded like they had accelerated over 3-500 rpm.. slowly up the revs, like a truck. Though the speed is much higher.. a more or less constant tone.
@@d17a2dude porches are NA, no turbo.
@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 C8.R isn't turbocharged. Chevrolet says it's still a naturally aspirated V8.
Love the new vette
Well done, as always!!!!
Excellent video, nice work!
The fog light setup on the Rolex 24 Corvette is nice is that street legal
looks like it is gonna be a great season.....
911, 912 qualifies 1-2!! Hell yes!
It’s crazy how fast they adapted to the new cars
S19 Pajua have they not gone and turned laps in WEC with them?
Who cares. Porsche sucks
Behindthen0thing they got 2nd and 3rd tf?
Drew Galbraith not this specific group and track
0:41 am I missing something here that's the 6.2 M156/9 not the new 4.0 AMG I'm confused.
You aren't. Mercedes opted to keep the M159 from the SLS GT3 when designing the current Mercedes-AMG GT3. I think their reasoning was that it was less complex and it's a known commodity.
Holy shit, that Madza offthrottle at 3:50. Fucking orgasmic
Has Lamborghini always been apart of the 24 racing series?🤨
They joined up a couple of years ago. They're the two-time defending winners of the GTD class at Daytona.
They are a part of it. Not apart
Those Corvettes! :O
Yeah they look great! But sound like shit 👎
Hope they get waxed !!!!😎😎😎😎😎🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Art Mchugh I bet you do they have been dominant if for 4 decades and racking up championships lol
That was a great watch like like. 👍
Excellent music!! I could listen to this as a meditative calming medium. It is great dinner music. Why not in an elevator?
I am dead serious. But, could the Corvettes be any quieter? How un-aggressive they now sound compared to the past!!
Todd Burgess is it even a v8?
Eijah Dobkins yes, it’s a 5.5 liter flat plane crank V8
Todd Burgess I also think the Corvettes may have some sort of sound restriction due to rules, but I may be wrong. I don’t think that’s as loud as they can be.
Colby Tindall it don’t sound like a v8 but it could be noise restriction

Say electric comming ,I hope not as long as I'm alive Nothing I say Nothing can ever replace the Sound and smell of a Real race car 🤗👋✌
This race DOPE Af!
Yeww Juan Pablo montoya 🇨🇴
Good quality video 👍
Have they handycap the C8 yet ?
Tomorrow baby!
is it bad when a flat6 and v6 sound meatier than a v8?
Corvette #3 and #4 winning this race
0:40 that poor engine is breathing through a straw
just me or does the rear of the new c8 corvette look like a copy from the aventador.
I highly dislike the way it sounds.
Yeah it’s just you
I can't believe Porsche copied their wheel from Fanatec.
Germans copy everything from smarter countries
Thanks Lanky
Corvette c8r for the win!
I like the way it looks. Dislike how it sounds...
Excellent 👍
What's good with the new Ferrari?
Mmmmm, look at that AMG M159 goodness
I’m hoping for a good weather race... I want to see the C8’s destroy all the nay sayers.
Wish my car made those types of noises!
Very nice...thank-you
smart and smooth
It’s a shame RWR backed out
hes baaaaack
A+ Thanks!

Man, it is wet!
When is the race
2:00 sat on motortrend channel thru sun at 2

Kinda reminds me of Herbie

Eric Yung maybe one of the other drivers is a female or they’re supported by some sort of female racer advocacy group. Hard to tell.
A man can support female racers

It’s for pickin up babes....duh

Nice
thx buddy ! ;)
damn...da red flag caused by da #7 crash ^^ oh man...do not crash in qually ^^
The Ferraris have been really disappointing so far
It's all fun & games until those new Vettes hit the track 💪🏁
