We've been to SPA !! Another huge bucketlist thing for me has been done ! Best lap of the week end : th-cam.com/video/1LHcOoZ5E10/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JdR Compilation of the week end's best bits coming soon !
Imagine having to drive like that back in the day/night with no street lighting like today, doing 200mph plus on the Mulsane straight then it starts raining !!! Incredible achievement.
Wouldn’t it be easier? Always find driving in pitch black conditions with brights easier than driving in the dark with a bunch of dazzling lights around me.
One of my grandest childhood memories was going to the races with my Dad. I fell in love with Lola T70s. And I can remember thinking even as a young chap That here we are at the races, with our cooler and our snacks and sandwiches and the noise and the crowd thinking we're having such a good time....but the people really having a blast were all in the driver's seat.
Awesome video of an awesome classic! In my opinion nothing tops the visceral sounds of the Ford GT! So glad I was able to see some of them on track in person at The Mitty at Road Atlanta a handful of years ago!
This is actually amazing. You can really hear this monster of a car letting loose on the Mulsanne. Really wish they didn't use the chicane but safety is important
What's missing here are the Alpine A210 and Austin Healy Sprites that runs about 60 mph/100 km/h slower than the GT40s. Imagine what it was like back then for the top-tiered sports cars having to deal with those moving obstacles at night.
Great ! We're still waiting to know if the car will be selected to participate to this year's edition.. If it is I'd be pleased to see you in our paddock :)

😍👌!!...awesome footage!!...for a moment, I thought I was playing Gran Turismo!!😂....love the soundtrack of this car!!👍.....can we please possibly see more footage!!!.🙏.. thanks for sharing!😁🏁
Thanks for your comment ! More footage is on the way and the car will participate in a lot more races this year ! Subscribe to the channel to stay updated !
there are a select few cars that make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up but this car is not one of them no no no, its far beyond that, this car is a god damn feat of engineering made from spite because some Italian bad mouthed a American and i absolutely love it
Welp, there's a bucket list item I didn't know existed before today - I would dearly love to ride shotgun in one of these cars for a night race. Even for a couple laps. This is just mind-blowing.
Amazing car, fantastic sound, a great racetrack and then you got a driver who's driving this car like it's a SUV to go to the mall with family and kids... What a sick joke is that!
Getting the old layout would certainly be thrilling ! But I truly believe those chicanes adds a much needed safety ! We're running the original 66 fully filled brakes !
@@jdr8393 incredible. I can imagine it would take some time to adjust to the power the brakes have or might not have, and deal with overheating issues. Right about the added safety! You are driving the dream! Thank you!
@@Boterberg it does take some time to get used to the power they don't have ! It really is slowing down more than braking haha ! Thank you for the support, I am a very lucky guy indeed !
@@jdr8393 I guess it’s a matter of getting used to things, and get used to good brakes when the race ends 🤣. Thank for the front row seat in a race I wish I was part of in ‘66. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Hi JdR, thanks for this cool video. Do you know where I can find the copyright owner of this video? Our filmmaking studio are searching for racing recording like this and we are seeking business chance for it.
Great onboard, when race cars were race cars without any electronics, just driving by feel, I miss the old Mulsanne straight it must have been a rush going flat out and back in the day there wasn't the lighting there is now, still love the race though
If you're talking about the screen where the speed displays, it's only to give you info about flags and it is mandatory to have it in the car nowadays. Regarding the ABS you "hear", you may want to visit an ENT ^^' This car has no driving assist at all
Mostly for safety. Chicanes were added to the layout in 1990 I believe and tremendously reduced the number of deaths during the Le Mans 24h. Even though the old Mulsanne straight might have been the most thrilling thing to do, life has no price ! And btw, those chicanes are actually super fun to drive, loads of speed in the entry and super important exit !
@@jdr8393 I know why the chicanes exist, and I firmly believe corners is what makes racing racing but for reenactment races they should open the straight back up to its former glory

Imagine having to drive like that back in the day/night with no street lighting like today, doing 200mph plus on the Mulsane straight then it starts raining !!! Incredible achievement.
And without chicanes !!!!
That's normal at Spa and the Nordschleife even today.
@AintNoWay Yup. In all the classic races.
Would have been driving much much faster than this guy
@@Brumiani without chicanes, well i think can doing over 230 or 240 mph maybe even reaching 250 mph with some draft
seeing the classics still racing puts a smile on my face
in 1966 it must be dark as hell with no road lights etc. I wonder how it was doing 200mph without seeing anything on the road.
You only needed to see the distance signs and other car's lights.
They were literally "going in blind" 😉
There were no chicanes in the back straight it was much longer.
Wouldn’t it be easier? Always find driving in pitch black conditions with brights easier than driving in the dark with a bunch of dazzling lights around me.
@@David.. that's a good point, especially if it's raining
What an astonishing sound on the straights, that engine roar is awesome
Agreed!
Lmao what it sounds like ass
@@vinniehuish3987 th-cam.com/video/4lRhjyuqnw8/w-d-xo.html has more clear sound
Exactly... Especially, after a corner while gaining speed, hearing the "whoooop" of the roaring V-8 is priceless.
Love that they put the cameras on the cars. Shows us what it's like to be a Le Mans driver in the race.
Damn, that footage from 1966 looks so good. Wondering how it will look like 40 years later

@@gabrielpoester6662 woosh
It's SO cool that these amazing pieces of vehicular art are still racing! The og GT40 was something truly special.
The top end of that thing's legs are phenomenal! What a buzz
Endless torque even at higher revs, it just keeps pulling
@@OLd_One-eyeguy My twincharged aw11 is like that, it just pulls and pulls. But nowhere in the same level as that thing.. haha

Those gear changes, that V8 power...that soundtrack alone is just astonishing.
Nothing beat the Sound of a Ford GT
GT40
24 hours of this IS NO JOKE!!!!! It'll make a sane man go MAD!!! Big boy stuff right here!!! Oh,... the sound of our American roars from that V8!
That Cadillac LMDh is gonna sound absolutely nasty flying down Mulsanne this year.
@@ludicrousspeed8177 Right! 👌
This is seriously one of the best YT videos I've ever seen...
Lovely GT40 as well! Thanks for posting

Similar to what LMH has to deal with when there's a GTE in front.
Gorgeous sounding engines !!!
Oh my days what a sound...... and those gear changes 🤤 that's made my day
The music starts at 0:57
🙏🏼
I got to see the GT40's and the Shelby AC Cobras run at the Nurburgring race in 1966,
Guy driving the Corvette had some balls from the way he was approaching the corners lol.
That's how racing should be. Not pussy driving like this.
I am going to the 2023 edition ! I can’t wait !!!
Great ! We're still waiting to know if the car will be selected to participate to this year's edition.. If it is I'd be pleased to see you in our paddock :)
Driving skills and Just pure emotion. 🖤

That Mk IV GT40 at the start was really fast!
"Dont crash dont crash dont crash dont crash..."
-the driver, probably
Jesus id pay so much money just to watch these beauties race.
The ford gt40 is such a monster!
Haven't thought to find onboards for this race, I've been enlightened
He made it to the 12th spot! He did really well considering le mans is the most prestigious race in the world!
Magnifique merci !
Wonderful, very careful and precise.
What a beast
Fcking awesome exhaust symphony
can you imagine this beast on the Le Mans circuit many years ago before they added the 2 chicanes on the Mulsane straight
Incredible 👍
Beautiful!
That 250LM went straight into that chicane
Wishing the sound technology kept up with our 4K visual.
That power en sound wooow great
This really give me strong Gran Turismo vibe

Ford GT40 is fcken amazing to hear
Quite a beast on the straitaways
Amazing sound though, and very cool cars on the track, particularly the first one you passed, that looked a lot like a 917..👌🏻🖤🏴☠️
there are a select few cars that make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up but this car is not one of them no no no, its far beyond that, this car is a god damn feat of engineering made from spite because some Italian bad mouthed a American and i absolutely love it
that is the best sounding NA V8 ever
sounds amazing
I never realized the Ford GT40 has such long legs
the GT40 makes Gal Gadot look like a midget
A lap on le Mans its a Dream.
so many million dollar classics here. it's understandable to be cautious
Chevron B8 👍👍2 Liter, 4 Zylinder 😍😍
Welp, there's a bucket list item I didn't know existed before today - I would dearly love to ride shotgun in one of these cars for a night race. Even for a couple laps. This is just mind-blowing.
whats the thing in the reflection that shows the rev lights?
Salut circuit très technique et éprouvant +1 abonnée mec ✌✌
Beautyful
sick dude 💟
That yellow car (Lola?) is a bloody menace!
It's some sort of a Chevron I think
Chevron B16
Amazing car, fantastic sound, a great racetrack and then you got a driver who's driving this car like it's a SUV to go to the mall with family and kids... What a sick joke is that!
You actually feel like your in the passenger seat, what a noise !
Wowee...she gets busy doing the hula on the top end.
Oh! Le bruit des freins ! J'ai le même bruit sur ma caisse, mais pas le même son moteur...
I always liked the Gulf GT40, especially the original, but not the new versions they brought out as road cars
lunch time any takers?
Geiler Klang, da läufts mir kalt den Rücken runter !
Sound like modified Corvette Z06 ? 🍀♥️
If I am asking a stupid question, I apologise in advance, but, is the speed shown in the footage in mph or kph?
Most likely kph
They should bring back the old mulsanne straight. Great driving, loving the 66 vibe..❤ What brakes are you running on?

Thing is a rocket ship on the straights
even today's camera's struggle to contain the GT40s Testosterone fueled engine sound
microphones must also be vintage / classics as well.
Julito te amo !
Hi JdR, thanks for this cool video. Do you know where I can find the copyright owner of this video? Our filmmaking studio are searching for racing recording like this and we are seeking business chance for it.
Hi, I'm the video copyrights owner, please feel free to contact me at : jules@drivnmotorsports.com
is it the shelby or the holman moody
No chicane in the hunaudieres in 1966 !!!
Sweet!
das ist unfuckingfassbar - Wahnsinn. So geil ! unschlagbar
I clicked on this thinking it was Grand Turismo 7.
Surprise!
Hp??
It is mph on the dashboard, right?
On the straights the dash says around 250. 250 mph is 400kmh so no it is not mph
It's KPH, no way a GT40 is doing 250 MPH
why do they let each other pass without a fight? Is it just a friendly race?
Lovely
Great onboard, when race cars were race cars without any electronics, just driving by feel, I miss the old Mulsanne straight it must have been a rush going flat out and back in the day there wasn't the lighting there is now, still love the race though
to this day its nasty fast
1960s car with digital panel and ABS (i can hear it when braking)😊?
If you're talking about the screen where the speed displays, it's only to give you info about flags and it is mandatory to have it in the car nowadays.
Regarding the ABS you "hear", you may want to visit an ENT ^^' This car has no driving assist at all
5:06 don't be this guy
No night racing for me. Too scary.
I am surprised how could the driver put his steel balls in this car to drive so fast...
Nothing beats American muscle 👍🇺🇸👍
not very good in the turns. but imagine in 1966 with the headlights back then.. scary
These are priceless vintage cars not competing.
@@artysanmobile watch Goodwood. They don't hold back there.
Tu as un Instagram pour suivre la bête ?
Pas pour le moment mais c'est en prévision :)
@@jdr8393 top ! C’était un plaisir de la voir rouler
Dude in the Yellow car thinks he is the only dude on track.
It's pretty cool to see you guys up when I'm up on the Straits, but way depressing to see you guys go so slow in the corners.
Everything was bass boosted
you can recreate this videos sound with a xbox microphone
That engine dude, getting sexually excited over here.
Needs a better microphone 😢
Agreed ! 2023 season races will be filmed with better gear !
Isnt the actual 24 much darker than this?
🙄
Why is there chicane?
Mostly for safety. Chicanes were added to the layout in 1990 I believe and tremendously reduced the number of deaths during the Le Mans 24h.
