Imagine your car breaking something or you made a tiny mistake at the Masta Kink and you drive straight into the basement of the house there? Then imagine you survive crashing through the windows/walls to the basement, but the car is now inside a basement, upside down and fuel is pouring down over you with hot exhausts and a very hot engine right next to said fuel?

In 1970, the F1 cars were 14 seconds slower than the 917s.The fastest lap in the race: Chris Amon 3.27.4 in a March-Ford. The 917: Pedro Rodriguez 3.16.5
I quote Wikipedia : "Once the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix was held 3 weeks later (a race that Rodriguez won for BRM), Formula One cars struggled to get within 12 seconds of this time; although there was a chicane at Malmedy Corner just for the F1 race."
man i love the old spa, i set myself a goal to reach 400kmh in almost every vehicle there and so far i only did it with the 2007 f1 ferrari. In general this track is awesome and challenginh but rewarding
Wow great content, you know what you're doing! Great concept and driving and a really well put together video with much appreciated captions and extra info. Obviously subbed, long may you continue pal
Ha ha, actually I couldn't resist to test it, but the time is a bit deceiving, only 2-3 seconds faster. Top speed is never greater than 350 km/h, since (at least in RSS's mod) modern F1 gears are not tunable. It is true that without tow, modern F1s do not go over approx 350 km/h anyway.
My dad is lucky to have seen old Spa in his younger days. He still remembers seeing Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert climb the Raidillon side by side in 917's. I should probably set this up along with a sim rig for him.
Realistically, for the chosen circuit, the 2016 LMP1 car had the same horsepower than the 2023 except on slow corner exits or during overtakes which is where the extra 350 HP electrical motors powering the front wheels would help. If they were able to use the electrical motors all the time, it's likely that they'd beat even modern F1 cars around modern Spa - roughly 40% extra downforce with 4x4 traction at the cost of 10, maybe 20 kph at the top end. Still wouldn't beat them on 1966 Spa due to top speed, tho. Regardless of that small note, this is a great comparison. The track looks terrifying as well.
FCC 🤙These comparisons would be interesting on this track: Round 1: 1950 Talbot-Lago T26 GS vs 1950 Indy 500 winner vs 1950 Alfa Romeo 158 1.5 L8 s Round 2: 1959 256 F1 vs 1960 250 TR60 vs 250 GTO Round 3: 1969 312/69 F1 vs 1969 312P vs 1970 512 S vs 1971 512 M vs 1972 312 PB vs 1972 312 B2 Round 4: ▪︎Lotus 72D vs Toyota 7 vs Chaparral 2J vs 917/30 ▪︎1976 Porsche 936 vs 1976 312T2 ▪︎1980 Rondeau M379B vs 1980 Williams FW07B ▪︎1985 956B vs 1985 MP4/2B ▪︎1988 WM Peugeot P88 vs 1988 MP4/4 ▪︎1994 Dauer 962 Le Mans vs 1994 Benetton B194 ▪︎1999 V12 LMR vs 1999 MP4/14 vs Reynard 99i CART ▪︎2006 R10 TDi vs Toyota TF106 ▪︎2010 R15 TDi Plus vs RB6 ▪︎2014 TS040 vs Caterham CT-05 vs Mercedes W05 ▪︎919 EVO vs W11 vs F2004
Ferrari 499P is a hypercar and while it has 680 hp (500KW) it also has a 200 KW electric engine, giving it a total HP of 940 (700KW), like all Hypercars.
Need to mention that 787B Mazda won their title not by the speed, but by superior reliability. So at this old SPA 787B could have superior advantage at full time race against F1 as well.
your cars have a good natural body/camera movement. What settings for SHAKE_MUL do you use, and what other settings/app do you use for this? Also what FOV setting/number?
That last F1 had the highest speed of 348km/h, but it let off the throttle in an area that the LM car was flat out. Its crazy that it was still faster than the LM car
Do you mean the last Ferrari F1 ? Yep, actually the top speed difference with the Toyota is not huge, whereas the F1 cornering speed and braking distances is quite better.
@@fabulouscarcharts5467You should have used the 2016 Mercedes (Fastest top speed F1 car in history) and used DRS on the longest straight, it would have reached around 378kph. Also you should have done the comparison on F1's best era which was 2004, so Ferrari F2004 375kph flat out everywhere, fastest accelerating F1 car ever and nearly thr best cornering, would have beaten the 2023 Redbull and annihilated the fastest 2004 Le Mans car anywhere in the world, either the Pescarolo Judd or Audi R8.
The purpose of the serie is not to find eras (like 2004) when F1 would destroy LM cars, as this is the most common case in racing history, but rather to find years when LM cars would be close to F1. It is very clear for everyone that the 2000s F1 are way faster than any 2000s Le Mans car ever on a race track.
Because it is iconic, beautiful, and isnt actually much slower than other group C cars considering its nice grip (it helps taking corners flat out on this circuit) and braking performances, thanks to the weight advantage (approx 150kg) it had on its opponents.
Depends a lot on the car, but as long as you take some margin with braking points (which I did) you don't crash a lot, there is no tight turn nor tricky, low speed reaccelerations. I think about 30 or 40 crashes for the whole video is a good approximation :)
@@fabulouscarcharts5467 haha ! Nice, figured something like that … great job btw, these are cool vids .. took some real balls to drive this track back in the day
Lotus 25 should be much faster, the fastest lap of 1962 Belgian race was 3:55 by Clark in Lotus. Ferrari 250P also should be faster, A front engined 250GTO got 4:07 lap in 1963 Spa 500km race., so 250 P should be even faster.
Though it could be fun to watch, I thought it was clear for everyone that F1 from 2000s would absolutely destroy LM cars, so I thought it did not fit the spirit of this video, in which I tried to find eras when LM and F1 are close.
14:36 (caption) Seriously? You gotta be a little nutso to go 300 km/h on a track that has houses on the side, especially considering that handling characteristics were what they were at the time.
Most underrated UA-camr of all time
great content and channel - these vids are very interesting. The 917 lap looks truly terrifying

I think 400 kmh is feasible with the C9 with proper set up (which most probably is not the best setup for good lap time)
2007 ferrari is probably my favourite. It looks like a fighter jet on onboards
DAMN now I need that track for my AC version !!
OUTRAGEOUS AND BRILLIANT!!
Put the sauber mercedes c9 in the lineup one of the fastest group c racers in both corners and straight line

Haha, I thought I was safe from picky corrections with my bit about circuit terminology and etymology 😅
