Remember watching this over and over again at the 24h hours of Le Mans museum when I was a kid. My grandfather used to work there and bring me there every wednesday afternoon.

[@Danlolwtfbbq]

This video gives the impression that the only cars racing at Le Mans in 1977 were Porsches, he didn't pass any other type of car!

[@norabiddogz8673]

Beautiful sound and great onboard.. This car must have been a blast to drive around with all that oversteer. Really respect the old drivers to do this for 24 straight hours..

[@flyboy8492]

This car is definitely a handful on project cars 2

[@BoilerBloodline]

Even back then Porsche had the smoothest gear changes.

Uhhhhhhh..... From the fastest point on track, braking into the slowest 60km/h turn... I would like to see those brake discs in the turn - shinning like a sun.

Le Mans with no chicanes ! ... Great !!!! Thank you for sharing this awesome video.

[@davidbarth80]

The top speed difference is huge on the straight! Amazing!

[@LegoGrandPrix13]

A lot of 911's :)

[@MassiveBig]

If only the track had the straight without chicanes still. would be epic!

[@michaeljackson3801]

Agreed

[@S4T4NG0SS]

360km por hora...isso em 1977, incrível.

[@jonaskussama]

Old but gold

[@artistjoh]

OMG that car made the other cars look like they were stuck in first gear.

[@truenorth227]

2:43 truly skill

[@Normally_aspirated]

@clebercoxaroots : Well over 200 mph in those days. Le Mans has since added two chicanes to break up that long straight-away because otherwise the speeds would be insane.

[@danf321]

Great footage! Passing 911's GT3 like they are standing still. This is how the A-holes in Los Angeles imagine themselves when they are speeding around in traffic driving their BMWs and Mercedes. Just my observations since I live there.

[@joydivisionisnotdead67]

Very nice. He was really moving on those long straight stretches. Thanks

[@musicrockrsbr]

Porsche 936 the legend of the LMP class of all time ;)

[@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649]

on the hunaudieres i thought the speed was like 250km/h but then the porsche came/stand(by) by =b then after mulsanne, how quick he was when he overtook the 2nd porsche, having for sure like 30 or 40km/h more speed then the porsche. imagine the acceleration since he had the same speed as the porsche, but when the road was clear its just like a rocket thruster :o sick!

[@modernworldiscrap]

Others times... Miss them

[@supersevenn]

[@nouonce911]

[@Catalina._]

Fucking beetles blocking the way...

[@arnaudfauchere1769]

Awesome !

[@clebercoxaroots]

What's the max speed? Over 300? The center line pimp in Straight 1:25

[@KridkornTangthanasirikul]

I'm thinking this means use a new machine to perform faster among other Porsches, or just a pace car.

[@ghibli05]

Porsche rules !

[@carsinmyheart]

@S4T4NG0SS 380km/h in 1970 with the 917K or 917L

[@Porsche917LH]

[@ToMmEsTeA]

[@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649]

[@spacurve]

[@pollemar]

[@janarnold5569]

[@LegoGrandPrix13]

[@calladiablo5968]

[@lukmanfirdaus8497]

[@pavelkucher3194]

[@FlyingBoxHead]

@OfficialNonsense No,and it's irrelevant to say such.

[@tvojootec]

that SOUND my hair are up

[@kimo0o0]

This is way too hot!

[@Michael_Michaels]

No telemetry... -_-

[@notu9462]

nach die porsche curve, alles in dritten gang........

[@Ulleval73]

Note: "...an AVERAGE speed" of almost 195mph.....that's AVERAGE speed for 24 hours. Utterly amazing.

[@Lars12209]

Ulleval73 its in kmh, 195 km/h. Its about 120mph

[@pollemar]

kph not mph

[@dazburnside7340]

Ulleval73 194 KM/H not mph

[@matthewcurtis3759]

i think it's kph, not mph

[@TheHannukahZombie]

Ulleval73 average speed of 195 KILOMETERS per hour.

[@Wolfe5005]

@stekhouse Ickx wasn't human. I wish I knew the days when racing was real. And dangerous..and designed for young, stupid playboys with wavy hair and easy smiles who wanted to die just a little...*flips his wavy hair and smiles easily*

[@caribstu]

Neither Derek Bell

[@sajukkhar]

Langsam = slow

[@StopMoColorado]

Now just another Volkswagen Property, depressing. No way Lamborghini and Porsche should be part of the same Company, no damned way 🙁

[@VARGADAN]

I couldn't agree with you more . It is sad what happened with all the car companies .

[@integrafreak1]

Not like forza 4.

[@kimo0o0]

This is way too hot!
