Lister Storms were my favorite car in the old video games GTR and GTR2.
One of the best times in my life building and being pit crew on that car .Happy days
I see this car against tvr speed 12 , marcos LM900 , viper and others in british GT to think while you was working on them I was a young lad now 37. I thought I was lucky seeing it but your the luckiest in the world. I would love to see it again. Cameras wasnt that good back then and I mean would be best thing to here this monster again❤❤ lister come back
Did you work on the Lister Jaguar XJS's ? please let me know, Thanks
Ever seen a 8.0L jag v12 ?
@@Kierenstanden-qz7eu
...7.0 litres
@@razor1uk610 no 8.0Litre V12 my friend bored it out him self
Such an awesome car. The world needs GT1 racing. There were some other interesting looking cars at Donington that day as well I see
We already do have GT1 racing. They're still racing some of the old GT1 cars in numerous competitions today. Do you mean GT1 by FIA ? GT1 by SRO?
Unfortunately the only GT1 cars still racing are some of the old ones.
That was not the charm of GT1
The charm of GT1 was that every new hypercar would participate in GT1 racing.
When Maserati mc12 came out we already knew that there's a hypercar class called GT1 for Maserati to race in.
Just wait for club racing to evolve. Private racing is the future of sports car racing. That's where you can actually see modern hypercars racing. Not just the same old mc12 and Porsche GT1s racing again and again.
I meant as a modern racing class in general
@@daren42 I really do believe that private club racing will evolve into something similar. Maybe not at the same level but take what you have.
Another good thing about club racing is the absence of BOP
It's like going back to the GT1 of the late 90s.
@@daren42 SCD Secret Meet promised a small race this summer.
I don't know exactly what they mean by that. We'll wait and see.
@@fyfyi6053 honestly we're just starting the cycle over again. The foundations for modern racing were set by privateers, who eventually became factory backed or outright bought up by a manufacturer. Now we're heading back into the realm of privateers being the top form of racing but make no mistake, the cycle will repeat itself.
FINALLY!!! a good Lister Storm onboard!
th-cam.com/video/crI5W0ZT_dE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uS6Drz5ZvFhh-RgC this is best in my opinion. There is a hard to find clip of this a viper and tvr speed 12 racing recorded from track side
I saw the first one in the paint shop, it was alongside two monstrous 7.4 Litre Lister XJCs. I also saw them run at Le Mans, they would lap just a little slower than the fastest GT1 cars but, just like the Group C V12 XJRs, they were utterly relentless. The XJRs put in lap-after-lap at a blistering pace without missing a beat or making a fuss. Martin Brundle said that he felt invincible in an XJR because he was working half as hard as the other drivers that were racing him. The Jaguar V12 engine was specifically conceived to win Le Mans.
Why then wasn't it put in a Le Mans car on it's conception? The first racing installation l recall was in the Broadspeed XJC 🤔
@@chrisb8075 Jaguar didn't go to Le Mans for many years, so it would have been quite difficult for them to race it when it was first designed.
@@chrisb8075 The original V12 was the 4-valve unit in the XJ13, which was intended for Le Mans. When that did not work out due to a rule change, the engine was reworked and put in production cars with a 2-valve head. Then a few years later they started racing it with Broadspeed first, then TWR with the XJS, then TWR with the group C cars etc.
Always amazes me how much Alex sounds just like his Dad
Very cool. I remember single seater testing at Donnington in 2001 and just about keeping up with this car through the Craner Curves and then watching it disappear into the distance after the Old Hairpin.
I remember testing my Caterham Vauxhall at Snetterton in the 90s. Not a slow car. This thing passed me round Coram like I was standing still, sounding glorious. Amazing.
Jimmy shows me your channel and first video i see is you driving this iconic car 😮🎉
Oh the sound of that Jaguar V12.
GT1 ahhhh, the golden days. What a beautiful class it was
Great video and what a fantastic car. This car was responsible for me falling in love with motorsport as a youngster. It's great to see it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video ! Newer than my videos from the early 2000s. What a pleasure to see this Lister Storm in action and beautiful restoration!
However it looks like it was running on 11 cylinders and not 12 with that noise.
I hope to be able to see her again in action at Spa where she finished 2nd at the 24h 2002 with Mister Verdon-Roe...
What a intoxicating noise the car is just screaming for more and I love it ❤. Also what an absolute pleasure it was to sit and chat with Bobby about GT1 Racing in general and the history of that particular chassis 😊
Thankyou!
Just discovered your channel from Jimmers, I gotta say the Lister Storm is one of those magical cars from the 90s that I grew up admiring thanks to Gran Turismo. An absolute legendary car.
Hi there,
Could you please upload some more raw onboard footage? That would be just great as onboard vids of this car are rare.
Thanks
Fantastic insight in to a great story from two top blokes. Top content.
Great to see that some people dont mod their gear to modern times and didnt remove the Marlboro logo as most of the Ferrari clients do.
Its iconic!
And the Lister was my favourite car in the Ps1 Le Mans Game.
U could tune it to beat the prototypes even😅
Newcastle livery❤
GT2 showed me this gem
Fantastic video! The team and car that got me into GT racing, plus the fact they were sponsors by my favourite football team. Win win!
Loved this car in period!
subscribed because jimmy told me to. stayed to learn about this curious car for the gran turismo nostalgia. howay the lads
Great car & great story from Bobby about how he raced it at the time & bought it.
Flipping awesome !!!
Coming to GTRevival. This is one of the best sounding monsters on Earth!
Love this Alex, great stuff and a terrific car with real character. Curious about the Newcastle United sponsorship?
The endless fable by marketeers is that Football and Motorsport have a similar marketing demographic.
But… yeah. Nah
@@BrundleBTW Most DTS viewers may act like Premier League fans 🤣
I had an image of Sir John Hall spreading his Sports Empire of the 90s.
GTR2 vibes.
I used to clean up with this car in Gran Turismo 2
My prized possession is my Fly Model Lister Storm (Scalextrix scale) race car.... Beautiful..
The very few road-legal homologation versions of this car are unicorns. Held the record for the fastest 4-seater car for ages.
Would love to know how it compares to the one in Assetto Corsa (mod by RSS).
The Storm is a phenomenal car.
@BrundleBTW Jimmy sent me. Let him race the Mustang!
Awesome, awesome car And now for sale through Fiskens!
These are cars ☝️
Such an amazing car
Cool video! Ty!
More chat ,than behind the wheel footage
Didn't Tiff race that chassis as well?
Please tell me this is at Donington on Friday
When I see this car, I immediately think of Gran Turismo 2 :D
I hope Listerstorm will be included in Gran Turismo 7
Got this insane wedge race car with rear lights looking from a Calibra lol
Awesome footage and background. Any chance of getting uncut, ontrack, footage? Not a lot of content on this car online
There’s a short of it but I’ll post some
@@BrundleBTW cheers
My pet birds thought this car was a distant relative wjen they heard it
8ton carnivore class
Why didn’t lister use this engine in there LMP900 entry
subscribed (at Jimmy's request, but looking forward to checking your channel out)
its real? only remember this on gran turismo haha
"Then they built the GTM's, there were quite a few of them . . . . 5 or so...." 🤨🤔 They really did get carried away with production 🤣
venturi 600 lm 🤔???
If TWR got upwards of 650-700 hp with the same 7L displacement -😑 why is this down to 600 hp ??
Probably best to a back to back dyno, then ask
Likely because more weight = more strain on the engine so it'll have been detuned for better reliability. GT1 regs were always more strict than Group C regs too. Air restrictors and all that, probably...
You can see the air intakes on the Lister: those are tiny. The engine had to breathe through a restrictor. Group C raced without restrictors.
All cars had to run air restrictors in the FIA GT championship, to even the plainfield, due to the many different types of engines and engine sizes, from the 6 liter Ferrari 550 GTS to 8 liter Viper GTS-R, and power was capped at around 600 hp for that reason.
It has all to do with regulations
