It was 2017, and it was 4 am and I was dozing on the outdoor patio of the Michelin Pavilion at LeMans which is located at the Ford Chicanes. And all I could hear is the mutiple popping sound of every LMP2 as they slowed for the Chicanes. There were over 20 of them in the field and the sound was incredible.
Seen these race in Japan at Fuji Speedway. They sound incredible. It was a 6 hour symphony . Loud and fast and the LMP2 prototypes look insane .Excellent video Bozzy keep them coming
Sounds like a higher revving one too at that. You can hear the trumpet-like undertones is nearly 1:1 with that of the Nissan. Do they use the same headers?
Chris Charizard Nope,the headers are different, & the road going VKs are *crossplane* If you straight piped a VK45, it sound nothing like these prototypes. It will sound like a 4.6 or 5.0 Mustang because of the DOHC V8 layout. *watch Chris Forsberg's VK56 swapped V8 350Zs*
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt The Gen 15 LMP3 cars have the VK50 5.0L V8 whit ca 420-425hp Naturally aspirated engine. The new Gen 20 have the VK56 5.6L Vo whit ca 455hp naturally aspirated engine.
Love it bro, nice video ! I think they changed the ECU just before le mans 2017, I remember being a bit disappointed at the testday because they weren't backfiring on every upshifts as in your vid ! But Porsche brought the new exhaust for the RSR that year, so the disappointment was forgotten almost instantly 😅
Thanks for the explanation on when the actual ECU update happened. Since I generally see LMP2 cars in Monza only in the few months before Le Mans 24h, I should have imagined it could have been an update for Le Mans instead of a new one at the beginning of the season.. Thank you for watching my friend!
@@andrewklein7997 Not too bad at all as the shifts are smooth. The pops from the downshifts are the real culprit. I heard that they have moved the exhaust outlets to the back to help with noise at the track.
I'd say there have never been real night races in Monza in recent times, but maybe I'm too young to remember that... There may have been something in the Sixties but in minor national championships. And also some races that started late in the afternoon to end at dusk. The only times I saw cars in the dark at Monza Circuit are during the 2017 ELMS tests and WEC Prologue (both in this video) and every year during the Monza Rally Show
higher cockpit height they introduced makes them look a bit weird tho. like a bubble car on serious steroids. I would have made the cockpit a little wider as well as taller to make it easier on the eye.
If one day motorsport events will start again I'll do it for sure. For now you can find some Oreca 07s with binaural audio in one of the ffirst binaural video I made: th-cam.com/video/h7YW0KX0cdw/w-d-xo.html

Great video Bozzy! Even though they sound good, they can get a tad annoying after a while plus ain't really a fan of the artificial sounding pops and bangs when down shifting, great video nonetheless though! ;p

The sound of this cars is so underrated, they sound so well and people don't give credits to these cars
Something about these V8’s I just love...
closed-wheel prototypes always look so much more futuristic than formula cars
tommihommi1
Imagine indycar running these!
Hope some road legal super cars use the shape of lmp cars
i also thought why it's called prototype isn't it
@@alfarosiarsita They would probably loose the magic of being from being only for racing

@@19Bozzy92 I Definately will
Awesome sound and glowing brakes in the dark...I LOVE 😍 night racing!
Fun fact: the gibson 4.2L V8 is actually a rebranded Nissan VK45 destroked into 4.2L via flat plane crankshaft.
Sounds like a higher revving one too at that. You can hear the trumpet-like undertones is nearly 1:1 with that of the Nissan. Do they use the same headers?

These engines sound so much better than the LMP1 hybrids
Jared Richardson
Because they dont squeal like mice..
Small electric motors+dog gears=screaming mice..
And they're that much slower too!
Yes I agree
should've kept the LMP1 class
Great footage + sound! Always enjoy mix of day + night footage too. Thanks for sharing :)
You're welcome!
These sound so much better in person its crazy
I can listen to this all day & night.
Well done bozzy, 2017 for me love the up shifts!! Mate need this in 3G!! 👍👍
VIVE LA RESISTANCE VIVE LES LMP2✊❤
Man, those Zyteck V8s sound awesome. (Yeah, I'm old)
Yess on the lap ... thank you my Bro 👌🏻👍🏻 always nice video ! Good Job ! 💯
Thanks a lot my friend!
Hearing them in real life it’s another thing, they are super loud, that V8 sings
Boz, you could post nothing but Gibson V-8 videos and you'd still have the best channel ever.
The sounds of these cars are synonymous with the WEC, absolute perfection
Amazing job bozzy! I love the roar on these pieces of machinery of art
Thanks dude!
@@19Bozzy92 No Problem :)

But now the new generation RSR doesn't sounds good as much as before😭
@@JakePark9190 Unfortunately.. sounds as it used to sound like at the beginning, a bit like a 996 RSR

@@19Bozzy92 Thank you for providing us your wonderful content !
The sound is so addicting
I’d love to see some IMSA Cadillac DPI cars some day.
There amazing irl
Heck yes! Nighttime footage looks spectacular!
The downshifts on these cars is eardrum rupturing!! Damaged my hearing at Daytona!
@Malachi Morrison Ouch but it's only temporary! 🤪
What about when they accelerated?

Hi and thanks Bozzy 👍 great footage love the lmp's 😎
oh... the sound of V8
Beautiful Pops .
i really want to drive one of these...
These things look like goddamn spaceships
And with you the very early prototypes of the next LMDh car.
Neo Guaren
Werent those going to be the Imsa DPI cars with light hybrid systems to reintroduce more automakers into le mans?
@@MainMite06 yes, they will be faster dpi cars
beautiful and brutal
So glad this is coming into IRacing by the end of the year with the Aston is I am correct. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
The Oreca Gibson combo is a living legend.
Big numbers...
Wins
Poles
Races
Also....when was the last night race at Monza?

How I miss Le Mans :(
miss the judd v8 tho D:
well, actually not sure what engine it was, but i think this is it: th-cam.com/video/r9AkPbxjwDY/w-d-xo.html (the orange "g-drive-looking" lmp2)

Binaural audio of them cars would be cool

Che tempi fanno sul giro?
In tre anni i migliori tempi delle Oreca a Monza son passati da 1:36.741 (qualifiche ELMS 2017) a 1:34.967 (qualifiche ELMS 2019)
Tempi comparabili alla Formula 2 su tutti i circuiti in comune, in alcuni è un secondo o due più veloce la F2 (Spa ad esempio) in altri sono più veloci le LMP2 (Paul Richard) ed in altri (Silverstone ad esempio) sono allo stesso livello.

Great video Bozzy! Even though they sound good, they can get a tad annoying after a while plus ain't really a fan of the artificial sounding pops and bangs when down shifting, great video nonetheless though! ;p
I don't think they're artificial sounds. It's a racecar, where function is over form (or sound). If it's in there it's for a performance reason
Thanks a lot Jake!
Heard these LMP 2s at Rolex 24 earlier this year. They got a nice racy sound, better than Mazda and Acura/Honda, but nothing on the LMP1 Cadillac sound.
Cadillac doesn't have a LMP1 though, it's a DPi.
Mani 1610 aah tomatoes tomatoes. DPis are just LMP1s that race in the Americas. And now they’ve actually changed regs so DPis can compete in LeMans.
You cant compare the DPIs whit an LMP1 car. Ist like a Comparision between a Dog and a Cat.
LMP1?
@@Zero.X lmp1 and dpi are the same shit man, just called different names in Europe/Americas
And to think the AM Valkyrie would lose these guys..
Flat plane crank? 😫👎👎 I love the real sound of a v8 not a fart can

Bozzy has video of the LMP3 cars using the crossplane version of this engine
Nah bro. Even tho cross plane sounds good, flat plane sounds even better
