With the safety barriers it’s pretty much like driving the autobahn at night. And the autobahn has NO lighting! I’ve driven he autobahn at 180mph hundreds of times in my life and I really enjoy it, it’s very peaceful! But it’s also fun in the middle of the day when there are lots of cars around you and you find some other people who 2anna go quick and you have a little fun together. Nothing like 4-5 cars driving vmax for 20 miles without braking all while the right side has quite a lot of traffic! Fortunately the Germans are very strict drivers (or where, the new generation is really bad at driving because they unfortunately don’t care about cars anymore. They only care about their dumb Chinese spy app named TikTok..) so it’s usually safe but you have to be 110% concentrated and think for everyone else on the road.
Imagine this in 1970s. Roadside lighting is not as good as today. Mulsanne long straight without chichane Only you, a couple of headlights, your machine, full throttle, screaming & tearing midnight at Le Mans.

@@electricpaisy6045 I agree, I think you're thinking of the fact that our eyes shake naturally, thus our brains will make a stable image and process it as if our eyes weren't shaking. Same is applicable to racing on bumps. In a normal road car, our eyes can adjust pretty well to the bumps, but in racing, it does take a few races before it is completely gone and normalized as steady. My first few races weren't great in stabilizing visual information, but after that, it is perceived that the rough road isn't there. I remember being a passenger in a NASCAR around Charlette speedway and it was hard to tell where I exactly was on track, but when I decided to drive for myself, after a few laps my eyes were adjusted to it.

Its nuts how, even when I race this 1000 times in gt7 vr, it cant prepare you for how pitch black those long straights are, how precise you still have to be with braking, and if you blink at the wrong time, youre in the wall. Their concentration is next level. I love this
Cameras make it look darker than it really is also. It's impossible to see the braking markers/boards with the camera but in real life you should easily see them. You can see them briefly on camera just before the chicanes, but you should be able to see them easier in person.

I imagine this is the closest thing we will ever get to the Blackbird 930 on the Wangan going flatout. There is so much going on in that cockpit. Thank you for sharing this amazing video.
This is the best driver's perspective camera i've ever seen, even better than the ones used in some official F1 videos. If you forget about the shaking it will even look like a very realistic videogame, this is amazing.
My last time at LeMans was 2017 for the 24hr proper with my son. We haven't been since because he had school exams each summer. 2021 looks uncertain regarding his A leval final exam timetable but this clip is whetting my appetite again - hopeful we can go and BOTH experience our 1st Classic LeMans togther. We have amassed a great collection of 935's in 1:43 but have never seen a real one under power (only in museum).
I love that you took your son. My dad passed this last April. I am 44 and I miss him so much it hurts. He took me to my first F1 race in 2000 when it came back to the US. God bless you for spending time with your son and creating those brilliant memories.
Fuck me, that was brutal. Manhandling such a beast in this darkness and leading the ultra light and nimble sports prototypes with cosworth F1 engines! Wow, amazing drive in a amazing powerful machine
Gran Turismo 7 VR do be looking impressive. Joking aside, this was no walking pace, really good driving, even the prototypes couldn't keep up. Must be really cut on power those ones.
This is so amazing. I’m thankful to have been able to witness Le Mans a few years ago, even driving on some of the roads before they were closed off. A highlight of my life. I love seeing things like this that remind me.
I found this video today, still amazing to see a helmet cam video so clean. It reminds me of Shift 2 Unleashed gaming at night at Silverstone or Circuit de la Sarthe. Just amazing.
That, and he’s out driving his headlights… his lights only cover a certain distance. His speed makes it appear to us that they’re not lighting the way very well. It would be interesting to see if his speed was “only” 100mph how much further you could see. It actually shouldn’t matter… the lights only cover a certain distance. In the car, his eyes are better adjusted to the decreased light so he can likely see somewhat better than we can in the video. Our eyes are probably much more sensitive than the camera.
Its horrifiying to know that normally your car will save you to some point if you make a small mistake, you make a small mistake in this thing it will eat you and spit you out as a fireball. Mad respect to the driver. Lad got some balls.
