Despite the collapse of Group C, there is one undeniable thing. The 3.5-liter sportscars were fantastic. The Peugeot 905 and Toyota TS010 battled for victory at Le Mans and World Sportscar Championship in the '90s during the downfall of Group C. These two cars are the spotlight for this video. The Peugeot 905 was the first lion-badged car to win the 24hrs of Le Mans and dominated the World Sportscar Championship. While the 905 may have been phenomenally successful, the TS010 set an interminable challenge with Peugeot for victory. They both were so extreme, so fast, and sexy machines. They have distinct philosophies and engines, resulting in differences in sound and handling.
SUBSTITLES are recommended. Some words like names are hard to pronounce in this script. :)
Amazing as always. After the Group C crysis, if FIA would have not instututed back in 1994 the GT1 Class, god knows how Le Mans and Endurance as a whole would have ended in that downward spirral. And of course the man whom started it all is the same that convinced Enzo Ferrari to abandon Le Mans and W.S.C. entirely for the sake of F1 by 1974. The rest is History, a scar into the magnificent World of Endurance that has just been repaired exactly 50 years later from the last SEFAC Official run to Le Mans overall victory, by the "Phoenix of Le Mans", our beloved 499P. And of course the men that caused these two fateful historical ruptures in the pinnacle of two Golden Eras for the Sportcars History is the same... the one that did all it could to dominate the racing world, at the cost of His "money-playground Circus": Bernie Ecclestone. Not to mention the political pressures he caused against the ACO via FIA's pipelines of his own that lead to "Cut the Hunaudières in 3 or Le Mans will die" in 1989, WITH EVEN LETTERS SENT TO THE FRENCH GOVERNAMENT ITSELF TO FORCE THE HAND ON THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB DU L'OUEST! What that "business men" did, to my eyes as an Endurance fanatic and historian of Le Mans, is simply outragious!!!
I mean, the Hunaudières was just a disaster waiting to happen that thankfully never occurred. Thankfully, a crash like that of the CLR in 1999 never happened going at nearly 400 Km/h in the Hunaudières.
Awesome!! Content !!
Great video man love to learn about the history of Motorsport
Very good content man! Make a video about Dauer 962 le mans!!
I really liked this story line
That was really good mate, didn't know the 905 was such a beast. Have you covered lmp900 yet?.
I haven't made a video specifically about just the LMP900s. However, I did talk about a few of them in different videos. For example, the Bentley Speed 8 or Audi R8.
Good video. I really recommend you look up and practice the name pronunciations, especially since so many names and places in motorsport have French origins. You cannot mispronounces names like Brabham lol. (The Brabham family isn't French.)
