Idc who you are, you have to admit that this thing can move around this race course. That made some adjustments since test day to make it faster on the straights, and it can grip around those corners just about as well as a GTE car. This thing is a monster and I hope that we can get a stock car class for the WEC. I would call it GT Super Stock Car. It's considerably faster than the GTE, but considerably slower than LMP2.
it's so much quicker in the corners than I thought edit: hey guys, there are other people in the world that know about racing cars than you. so if you're gonna explain something in the replies try to give people the benefit of the doubt and don't be like this one jabroni in on this thread that treated everyone like an idiot. "Can tell you guys don't know much about the differences between this car and a typical NASCAR." shut up bro
Yeah, that surprised me too. Much better braking than expected too. Either these next gen cars have much better aero and braking than the last gen cars or this car has a custom aero and brakes package for this race.
@@Weerknuffelbeer it does there’s a interview on UA-cam somewhere a lot of this this gen of nascar was developed just for this occasion like mileage of the motor and gearbox etc
I watch the NASCAR Cup series and hear this every Sunday from February to November every year and never seem to get tired of it, NASCAR really did nail the sound of the car.
I'm not even much of a Nascar fan and this is super cool. One of the best things about endurance racing is when you're track side and you hear a variety of engine configurations all screaming as they blast around. It's kinda like an orchestra with many different instruments. It's one of my favorite parts of the times I went to Petit Le Mans or Sebring.
Absolutely agree. One-make formulas lose that diversity of audible stimulation. I watched the Indy 500 this year and although it was worth watching, that’s what I missed.
The coolest thing about this car is the goal of next gen was to make 1 chasis that can race on any track. We are not even 1.5 years into the gen 7 era and we have seen it race on everything from a 1/2 mile oval to an 8.5 mile circuit and everything in between. It even races on dirt tracks. So from that aspect you have to give Nascar credit on the design
Next Gen has a lot of haters but I think it's been a overall success. Every NASCAR chassis had growing pains but NASCAR fans have short memory or something they always forget that type of thing. People were ready burn someone at the stake over the COT.
I feel like 10-15 years from now, buying one of these chassis used and building your own race car into it would make for an EXTREMELY robust track machine.
@@miketwotwentythey run about 192-195 restricted and drafting at talladega, so 195 sounds accurate. Less weight but more downforce. Easily capable of 200+ but nascar keeps the power down for safety.

@@askeladden450 I mean it literally is a cup chassis with a cup engine. Obviously purpose built for le mans they took a lot of carbon out of the rear and took out the steel brakes but the thing is more similar than you'd think
@@mcloviinz i know but thats like calling the 919 evo an lmp1 car and saying lmp1 is faster than pre-18 f1 cars. It doesnt follow the requirements of a cup car, hence is not a cup car. Pretty simple. The engine is not restricted either and produces much more power.
bro....i accidental loop this video and listen it for god damn 3 hours while doing works....holy syit,this V8 with modern transmission,and loud ass exhaust,shreding the corner,blasting the straight....damn,its so beautifull to my ears
Boa noite !!!!! São 04 minutos e 13 segundos da música mais fantástica do Mundo. Realmente de arrepiar....... Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.
@@MMM-wg2vm yes and no as NASCAR cup series engineers are masters in creating mechanical grip for their race cars to compensate for lack of aero. The car has quite a few modifications but in slow speed corners the mechanical grip matters way more. For the car to be be lapping quite a bit faster than the high downforce GTE counterpart, there needs to be a substantial amount of mechanical grip to help it out of slow corners and in the twisty bit of the circuit. But yes the Aero definitely helps in the high speed corners.
Very good choice of driver too! He's a former le mans 24hr champion and he was a factory DTM driver for Audi. You can tell he knows this track well. What a cool car/driver combo
@@booyah8848 yes, but the engineers are very limited in what they're actually allowed to do in the actual series, these cars have almost no mechanical grip, they have no special engineering or anything crazy, its a stock car, its just a frame, a body and a a v8, the only reason it has grip is because of the aero package on that thing
@@mailboxmedia6655 that is simply not true. These cars aren't stock at all. It's a spec chassis built by a single supplier. It has a 5 speed sequential transaxle that's mounted in the rear of the car for balance. All the chassis as I said are identical spec chassis. They have a composite body shell that is identical across all the cars except for the front clip which is manufacturer specific. In other words. Nothing on this car is stock they're purpose built spec racing chassis. They have full independent suspension in the front and rear unlike the last generation which had a solid axel. The suspension can be turned to create all kinds of different set ups and grip levels.
The qualifying lap was something like 3:49. In the days of GTE-Pro the 911 RSR managed a lap of 3:46.776, so yeah it’s quick. Can’t wait to see how it will go 😊
3:47 in qualifying... so splitting hairs. And we have to remember how incredible the BoP was for the 911RSR at the time.... The straight line speed and acceleration of the G56 from about 60-170 would make it a pretty challenging race for the GTE's v G56. I am actually glad the G56 is comfortable faster, even with the platinum drivers in the GTE's. It should keep from muddying up the GTE race at the front.
@@allansbullet Laptimes from the race showed that Rockenfeller and Button were a fair bit quicker than Jimmie Johnson and their bests were about 3.50 or so. The car finished behind eight GTE cars and was lapping at about the same speed at the end of the race. But it finished and it didn’t finish last, which were the team’s objectives.
@@thethirdman225 The thing I REALLY liked about the race is that there were 3 New Zealand drivers (Brendon Hartley, Earl Bamber and Scott Dixon) driving 3 of the first 4 cars - it was all Italians in the winning Ferrari.
@@Oat_meal_YT these things do 200 in their lowest power setups at the super speedways. This one is dialed to 11 for lemans. They took something like 400 pounds out , swapped the body and brakes to carbon, and removed the restrictors.
@@chaselandry2962 From what I've read, this is running a restrictor. It "only" has around 670 hp. Unrestricted, these things are like 900 hp at the tires.
All the best for the race, sounds epic. The way that LMP car overtook and just disappeared into the distance was mind blowing, they are so fast, I mean, a Nascar is fast, the LMP's are next level fast.
Nah, the best part about road racing in the cup series is them beating and banging with each other in 3500lb bricks. The canards world be gone halfway through the first lap lol
This ting is running an unrestricted motor, it's currently producing over 1,000hp and torque. The GTs on the otherhand are restricted by BoP, and most of the GT field is pushing between 520 to 550 hp, ditto for torque. They also shed 400 pounds (around 180 - 190kg of the top of my head) so weight is similar to the GTs aswell. So this modified and unrestricted cup car beating the GTs on the straights is a forgone conclusion.
@@jessekleidon9503 I've read where it's producing about 800hp. If it is 1000hp, 24 hours. Crazy. It's also running carbon brakes instead of steel. I still think this is all pretty great. I hope she survives 24 hours.
@@jessekleidon9503 The article I read said this engine is restricted to 670 hp. Still more than the GT cars, but not twice as much. Also, these engines don't make that much torque. They make horsepower with RPM, not torque. I believe, unrestricted, the numbers are around 700 ft-lb peak torque and 900 peak hp at the tires.
The car looks and sounds great! Much faster in the corners than I thought it would be. I think they'll hold their own just fine for the 24 hours. My gut feeling is that NASCAR as a sanctioning body is using this as a testing ground to make their product better in their own series. It would be cool if they were able to create their own stock car class at Le Mans and run it every year though. You wanna talk about growing the sport globally, creating new fans and not being looked at as a laughing stock in the racing world, then there you go. This would go a long way in doing just that. As long as they don't screw it up!
I thought the same thing. But then I thought about it a little harder. And I realized having 35 Cup drivers suddenly in the LeMans field would cause major chaos. If you've seen how these guys drive at road courses, it's not exactly respectful. Cup drivers aren't bad road racers they're just brought up with a different mindset, a mindset that turns road races into demolition derbies. Very fun to watch when it's just them. But extremely inconvenient for the WEC field I'm sure to have them all there not giving anything up.
@@BoBo-pl3ww well I'm assuming if they made it part of the NASCAR calendar even if it wasn't a points race the regular cup teams would be the ones participating. Obviously they might have some other people being drivers since you need more than one. Actually I just had a thought. Most NASCAR teams have more than one driver. So if each team fielded one car they'd have 3 or 4 drivers to drive the car. And that would cut the field of CUP cars down to 10 or less. It could work
I watched most of the 24 live on Motortrend. I was surprised at the lack of TV time for this car. I know that battle in Hypercar was so compelling, but a little more coverage would have been appreciated, given the pre-race hype.
This gives me the BIGGEST V8 supercars Australia nostalgia 🥲❤️ oh man i miss this sound and that onboard view watching v8s annihilate the competition 😍
Very interesting that the Nascar is so much faster than the GTE AM Cars pity that we have the Nascar only in Le Man's I would love to see the cars Performance on the other tracks
@@Thomas-ib9iu when they would had 900hp they would be the fastest car on the Straight maybe the would be faster than the Hypercars that would be cool to see
@@GTRISTHEGOAT It's not the power that limits them so much as the drag. They've got that big spoiler on the rear deck lid, same as what they run at the ovals. It produces a massive amount of downforce, but also drag.
i don't like nascar competitions in general, but this just puts me the biggest smile on my face. it's so unusual you can only appreciate the mash up with le mans.
Honestly, NASCAR should be like more like this. In my opinion nascar should consist of hopped up race cars that resemble street cars, but they should also have a hopped up police car in the back, chasing them and spinning them out one by one until there’s one left and we declare that person the winner or they reach the 500 miles just like the good old moonshiners
Please, can everyone just say 'cup Car' instead of 'the Nas-car'? It is a NASCAR Cup car, not a NAS car. I know the mistake is quickly made and not on purpose, but c'mon...
Ehh im a huge NASCAR fan and I'd call it a NASCAR. If I was trying to be more specific ids say a CUP car but if I was just generalizing I'd just say it's a NASCAR. I've called them NASCAR'S my entire life. I'd only use "cup car" or "sprint car" as a clarifier. That only tells you which division they are, all of them are NASCAR. Id call both CUP and Xfinity cars NASCARs and I'd call the Truck series, well I'd just call them "the trucks". So I really don't think there's a issue calling this car a "NASCAR" because that's what it is. Even life long die hard fans use the term in that way.

This thing sounds "Hungry and Beastly!"
Nicely done Garage 56.
"Good Luck to all!"🇺🇲🏁👍
I just love hearing everything in the engine bay running, even the air being sucked in through the intake sounds beautiful
Incredible sound😊 beautifully turned out car. This is racing pure,road car,road tyres .Your everyday car for work that's been taken to the next level.
This is how it should be on the Le-mans 24 hrs. Endurance of the car.This being put into the road car for the public. Better breaking. Lights,suspension, tyres, steering,gear boxes the list is endless of improvements.
Hope the team goes forward after the 24 hrs. This cannot be a one off road race. There is a whole series leading up to the 24 hrs.
Hope you will run a two car set up and come and show the world.
Nascar is not just ovals but race track ready.
Come on make this happen. The fans are behind you 100%.
What did you mean by your everyday car for work taken to the next level? Were you talking about the gte cars?
Nascar "stock" cars haven't been everyday cars for decades. This is a tube frame purpose-built race car that has nothing in common with any road car.
In terms of being similar to road cars, the G56 camaro (and any stock car) is closer to lmp2s than to gt3/gtes lmao
That's Braking*
Best looking and best sounding racecar @Le Mans
When this thing hits the straights it's pure heaven 🤤
Wow!! The car is incredibly stable and very quick!
I love it.
Nice to hear a badass Chev 5.8L rip around!!!!
Good luck!!!
I just hope this opens up the chance of seeing other whacky things lapping around Le Mans in the future
That's what garage 56 is for. That's what the delta wing raced under all those years ago.
A modified F1 car with lights, wonder how long that would last?!
@@andrewesau51 Yeah, I didn't just mean from them.
Aussie supercars
Did i just see a Cup Car pass a GTE?? 🇺🇲💪
It was about to get that Porsche too!
Not really a cup car but still quite fast.
@@askeladden450 I mean it literally is a cup chassis with a cup engine. Obviously purpose built for le mans they took a lot of carbon out of the rear and took out the steel brakes but the thing is more similar than you'd think
@@mcloviinz i know but thats like calling the 919 evo an lmp1 car and saying lmp1 is faster than pre-18 f1 cars. It doesnt follow the requirements of a cup car, hence is not a cup car. Pretty simple. The engine is not restricted either and produces much more power.
@@askeladden450 not gonna lie that was a pretty good argument
I love it, it is Brutish, Fast, Loud, and Big, All American, it just needs to finish the 24 hours to be a win.. I love it.
bro....i accidental loop this video and listen it for god damn 3 hours while doing works....holy syit,this V8 with modern transmission,and loud ass exhaust,shreding the corner,blasting the straight....damn,its so beautifull to my ears
Boa noite !!!!!
São 04 minutos e 13 segundos da música mais fantástica do Mundo.
Realmente de arrepiar.......
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.
Abraço do Brasil.
THAT WAS AWESOME! #GoNASCAR🇺🇸
This cars mechanical grip has to rival any car currently as for its size it’s very grippy and nimble!!
Most of the grip comes from the additional aero
@@MMM-wg2vm yes and no as NASCAR cup series engineers are masters in creating mechanical grip for their race cars to compensate for lack of aero. The car has quite a few modifications but in slow speed corners the mechanical grip matters way more. For the car to be be lapping quite a bit faster than the high downforce GTE counterpart, there needs to be a substantial amount of mechanical grip to help it out of slow corners and in the twisty bit of the circuit. But yes the Aero definitely helps in the high speed corners.
Very good choice of driver too! He's a former le mans 24hr champion and he was a factory DTM driver for Audi. You can tell he knows this track well. What a cool car/driver combo
@@booyah8848 yes, but the engineers are very limited in what they're actually allowed to do in the actual series, these cars have almost no mechanical grip, they have no special engineering or anything crazy, its a stock car, its just a frame, a body and a a v8, the only reason it has grip is because of the aero package on that thing
@@mailboxmedia6655 that is simply not true. These cars aren't stock at all. It's a spec chassis built by a single supplier. It has a 5 speed sequential transaxle that's mounted in the rear of the car for balance. All the chassis as I said are identical spec chassis. They have a composite body shell that is identical across all the cars except for the front clip which is manufacturer specific. In other words. Nothing on this car is stock they're purpose built spec racing chassis. They have full independent suspension in the front and rear unlike the last generation which had a solid axel. The suspension can be turned to create all kinds of different set ups and grip levels.
What beautiful music that thing makes. Great video.
Thank you very much!
so BAD ASS, I haven't been this pumped about Le Mans in a while
The sound of this beast got mee in the zone and i want to listen to it forever
The qualifying lap was something like 3:49. In the days of GTE-Pro the 911 RSR managed a lap of 3:46.776, so yeah it’s quick. Can’t wait to see how it will go 😊
3:47 in qualifying... so splitting hairs. And we have to remember how incredible the BoP was for the 911RSR at the time....
The straight line speed and acceleration of the G56 from about 60-170 would make it a pretty challenging race for the GTE's v G56. I am actually glad the G56 is comfortable faster, even with the platinum drivers in the GTE's. It should keep from muddying up the GTE race at the front.
On this lap I timed it at about 3:58 off the video, but I think it probably has a bit more in it yet. Hell of a beast, and GREAT sound!
@@allansbullet Laptimes from the race showed that Rockenfeller and Button were a fair bit quicker than Jimmie Johnson and their bests were about 3.50 or so. The car finished behind eight GTE cars and was lapping at about the same speed at the end of the race. But it finished and it didn’t finish last, which were the team’s objectives.
@@thethirdman225 Yeah mate. Just finishing at Le Mans is a hell of an achievement - especially on their first try!
@@thethirdman225 The thing I REALLY liked about the race is that there were 3 New Zealand drivers (Brendon Hartley, Earl Bamber and Scott Dixon) driving 3 of the first 4 cars - it was all Italians in the winning Ferrari.
Thank you for sharing this amazing video
Unreal! I hope it survives the full 24 hours! It’s an unbelievably quick car, or at least VERY surprising, to me anyway
I went emotional. pure history video. also very intresting
They really made this car move very well at Le Man. Impressive. Most impressive
Omg!!! Brutal!! Love it!!! Want 1!!!!
Boys, that car's turnin' left *and* right
Omg, what a sound 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Like a modernized version of John Greenwood’s Corvettes from the 70s!! Very cool!
Don't forget Sauber Mercedes C9.
That is awesome, and you have some incredible talent to see this succeed. Good luck Garage 56.
Imagine you worked your whole life to get to Le Mans your driving a gte car and then you get passed by a nascar with headlights
The sound is just so beautiful
Wow this car has a lot of speed. This was unexpected
Totally!
Expected from my experience, These things can do 200 if you really push it.
@@Oat_meal_YT these things do 200 in their lowest power setups at the super speedways. This one is dialed to 11 for lemans. They took something like 400 pounds out , swapped the body and brakes to carbon, and removed the restrictors.
@@chaselandry2962 From what I've read, this is running a restrictor. It "only" has around 670 hp. Unrestricted, these things are like 900 hp at the tires.
The sound is so raw i love it
Finally we got this!
Breathtaking! Love the roar of the V8.
I agree.
Yes yes and yes
Murica, done us proud even before the race. Well done tuning this beast. God speed this weekend
All the best for the race, sounds epic. The way that LMP car overtook and just disappeared into the distance was mind blowing, they are so fast, I mean, a Nascar is fast, the LMP's are next level fast.
As a ford guy ...big props to chevy and everyone involved on this project 👏🏾
They should make this into the standard "Road Package" for the cup series. It would make the racing so much more interesting
The teams would probably complain it's expensive, but it's so cool
Nah, the best part about road racing in the cup series is them beating and banging with each other in 3500lb bricks. The canards world be gone halfway through the first lap lol
@@legolite45 A new division at the Rolex 24 might be possible. Some of the team owners in NASCAR have some pretty deep pockets
That's awesome. Good on you.
I was led to believe it was slower than than the GT's on the straights. The video proves otherwise. 😊
@deezoG8 smaller than an M4 GT3 lol
This ting is running an unrestricted motor, it's currently producing over 1,000hp and torque. The GTs on the otherhand are restricted by BoP, and most of the GT field is pushing between 520 to 550 hp, ditto for torque. They also shed 400 pounds (around 180 - 190kg of the top of my head) so weight is similar to the GTs aswell. So this modified and unrestricted cup car beating the GTs on the straights is a forgone conclusion.
@@jessekleidon9503 I've read where it's producing about 800hp. If it is 1000hp, 24 hours. Crazy. It's also running carbon brakes instead of steel. I still think this is all pretty great. I hope she survives 24 hours.
@@jessekleidon9503 The article I read said this engine is restricted to 670 hp. Still more than the GT cars, but not twice as much.
Also, these engines don't make that much torque. They make horsepower with RPM, not torque. I believe, unrestricted, the numbers are around 700 ft-lb peak torque and 900 peak hp at the tires.
Man, that thing is gnarly. I love it when he turns onto the Mulsanne and just lets it eat. A thing of beauty, and that roar!!!
The car looks and sounds great! Much faster in the corners than I thought it would be. I think they'll hold their own just fine for the 24 hours. My gut feeling is that NASCAR as a sanctioning body is using this as a testing ground to make their product better in their own series. It would be cool if they were able to create their own stock car class at Le Mans and run it every year though. You wanna talk about growing the sport globally, creating new fans and not being looked at as a laughing stock in the racing world, then there you go. This would go a long way in doing just that. As long as they don't screw it up!
I thought the same thing. But then I thought about it a little harder. And I realized having 35 Cup drivers suddenly in the LeMans field would cause major chaos. If you've seen how these guys drive at road courses, it's not exactly respectful. Cup drivers aren't bad road racers they're just brought up with a different mindset, a mindset that turns road races into demolition derbies. Very fun to watch when it's just them. But extremely inconvenient for the WEC field I'm sure to have them all there not giving anything up.
@@andrewesau51 more like 10-15 cup drivers. Also, who said Americans would be driving? Maybe some EU folks will want to participate?
@@BoBo-pl3ww well I'm assuming if they made it part of the NASCAR calendar even if it wasn't a points race the regular cup teams would be the ones participating. Obviously they might have some other people being drivers since you need more than one. Actually I just had a thought. Most NASCAR teams have more than one driver. So if each team fielded one car they'd have 3 or 4 drivers to drive the car. And that would cut the field of CUP cars down to 10 or less. It could work
I'm so happy this car is there. I am going to watch le mans for the first time this weekend to see how it does.
I watched most of the 24 live on Motortrend. I was surprised at the lack of TV time for this car. I know that battle in Hypercar was so compelling, but a little more coverage would have been appreciated, given the pre-race hype.
This gives me the BIGGEST V8 supercars Australia nostalgia 🥲❤️ oh man i miss this sound and that onboard view watching v8s annihilate the competition 😍
The sound like a terror for another drivers
Very interesting that the Nascar is so much faster than the GTE AM Cars pity that we have the Nascar only in Le Man's I would love to see the cars Performance on the other tracks
It would definately be closer. The nascar is extremely quick in a straight line and le man's has such a long straight. Other tracks dont
Also the NASCAR engine makes well over 900HP but it has a spacer on it that limits it to 680HP, imagine if they decided to run without the spacer.
@@Thomas-ib9iu This car has 750hp.
@@Thomas-ib9iu when they would had 900hp they would be the fastest car on the Straight maybe the would be faster than the Hypercars that would be cool to see
@@GTRISTHEGOAT It's not the power that limits them so much as the drag. They've got that big spoiler on the rear deck lid, same as what they run at the ovals. It produces a massive amount of downforce, but also drag.
This is what I love about Le Mans, and what an amazing sound!
Watch the Cadillac onboard and get back to me.
A proper American v8 🇺🇸
With everything going on around the world you MAKE ME PROUD AGAIN TO BE AMERICAN THANKS
760 horses at 8000 rpm,who hoo
This is so hype! Such fun
i don't like nascar competitions in general, but this just puts me the biggest smile on my face. it's so unusual you can only appreciate the mash up with le mans.
Me as a massive nascar fan just appreciating not being hated on for once lmao
That’s the sound of freedom 🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Horsepower around 700?Top speed 300 km/h? Lap time 3:49?Faster than 911, Corvette, Aston?Wait nex saturday...
312.7 so not bad.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Running on FREEDOM
Liquid cooled screaming bald eagles 🇺🇸
The only NASCAR video I’ve watched in a while.
I smell a lot of Democracy & Freedom
Oh FFS…
We need like 3 of these at Le Mans next year. All bump drafting down the Mulsanne straight
Honestly, NASCAR should be like more like this. In my opinion nascar should consist of hopped up race cars that resemble street cars, but they should also have a hopped up police car in the back, chasing them and spinning them out one by one until there’s one left and we declare that person the winner or they reach the 500 miles just like the good old moonshiners
would be interesting
Man that thing is screaming looking forward to watching it .
Please, can everyone just say 'cup Car' instead of 'the Nas-car'? It is a NASCAR Cup car, not a NAS car. I know the mistake is quickly made and not on purpose, but c'mon...
Ehh im a huge NASCAR fan and I'd call it a NASCAR. If I was trying to be more specific ids say a CUP car but if I was just generalizing I'd just say it's a NASCAR. I've called them NASCAR'S my entire life. I'd only use "cup car" or "sprint car" as a clarifier. That only tells you which division they are, all of them are NASCAR. Id call both CUP and Xfinity cars NASCARs and I'd call the Truck series, well I'd just call them "the trucks". So I really don't think there's a issue calling this car a "NASCAR" because that's what it is. Even life long die hard fans use the term in that way.
@@andrewesau51 Its wrong - only used by ignoramus's
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp haha. My man it's not that deep. You're talking about semantics and we're talking about what people call a race car. It's just some fun. We're not writing Harvard essays or something.
@@andrewesau51 You need to start hanging around with a better class of losers Andrew!
