Its a crime all these GT3 fights were left out in the broadcast and acted as if they were just filler cars compared to the hypercars when they were way further from that.
@@Pympchimpin3 currently, there is also talks about potentially getting the European Nascar series of stock cars in as they are basically what Nascar brought last year, only designed for less laps.
Absolutely agree. I understand separate 24 hours coverage dedicated to both Hyper and GT's would cost too much, but GT cars deserve at least dedicated streaming coverage for local times, 4pm-sunset 1-1:30 am, 5am to sunrise, and 2-4 pm. That is only about 10 hours.
It was so annoying. Watching the leader board gave a better idea of what was going on in GT. You could see the fords pacing hard, pushing out. Not a thing about it on the broadcast. A handful of hypercars fighting it out for 24 hours. So disappointing.
Not just the Ford no. 88, but the Ford no. 44's result also turned out to be great, with former finishing on the podium @3rd and latter finishing @4th in lmgt3 class. Great results for the Mustangs🔥
I think the #77 Mustang had a legit chance to win, but got taken out by a bonehead move from a P2 car, I watched the replays and the P2 had no chance, but tried to dive bomb the Mustang anyway, sending the #77 to the garage for a long repair. Best part of the whole incident, both the #77 and the P2 car ended up in the gravel trap, the corner marshalls removed the Mustang before the P2, karma is a bitch. If I'm not mistaken I think the #77 may have had the fastest race lap in GT3, if not they were near the fastest. Ford did a great job for a first year car, Corvette not so much, unfortunately.
I am no FORD fan.....!!!...But this Mustang opened my eyes ...they are stupendously quick....I am impressed...!!!....a Mustang that passes.......a Mclaren?????.......CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!
"A mustang that passes a mclaren". You know, being the literal fastest car on the road ISN'T "necessarily what rich people want". Sometimes it's about a HAND MADE CAR. Sometimes its about a unique appearance that other cars don't have. (Do not even TRY to come here and tell me the mustang has a unique or iconic design). The mustang is as lame and mediocre as minivans or a prius. You know what MAYBE this is a really good car, but it's still a mustang. I don't get why you're so surprised or whats confusing you. You act like the mustang is some "bestowed from heaven" type gift. No, it's a production car made by robots. "A mustang that passes a mclaren". You should take back that shit eating statement because it means nothing. The tortoise does indeed occasionally beat the hare. Doesn't mean the tortoise suddenly looks cuter. Doesn't mean I wanna take the tortoise home as a pet. No, I'm still probably gonna pick the hare, aka the mclaren. For starters, it's more likely to be awd, so that alone makes it better than mustangs. I guess my point is you need to stop. You're unnecessarily and needlessly sucking fords dick, and nobody at that company deserves it. At the end of the day, the appearance of a sports car matters AS MUCH AS how it performs, so yeah obviously nobody should be surprised to ever see a mclaren on the road
@kingalfred3902 I find it really sad to see anybody hyping up a Ford. At the end of the day, it's just a piece of shit ugly ass mustang. A regular ass production car. MAYBE when you get a little more money, you end up thinking "hmm I don't HAVE to buy a piece of shit ugly ass mustang anymore, I can buy a mclaren", so that's what they do. Appearance matters as much as the engine does, and considering the engine underneath mclarens, I'm actually not surprised to see a mustang racing one. Just a super quick Google search shows one of the engines mclaren uses is a fucking v8. Ford makes a v8, and the one in the race isn't even a "regular road model". It's heavily modified for racing. All I see in your comment is shit talking towards the mclaren, and praise upon the mustang as if it was given to us by the gods. Grow up. You're acting like a child. "A sports car designed for racing passed a sports car designed for racing, better freak the fuck out". I don't get it, wanna explain?
Ford, Multimatic, and Proton did an amazing job at Le Mans. I hope this is just a preview for the rest of the season. I'm sure they took home a lot of useful information for developing the car. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes and I hope they get their first win of the season this year. They definitely deserve it.
The Mustang GT3 that Ford co-developed with Multimatic had a very strong V8 engine, DSSV dampers, and rear-mounted transaxle, which proved to be quite reliable. The only issues it had were some of its body parts, such as the massive rear wing and rear diffuser, which got damaged in certain races like the Daytona 24 hrs. I'm very happy fixed some issues proving at Le Mans that the car is competitiveve, been rooting for the Mustang GT3 ever since the announcement of Ford's return to IMSA and WEC!
i saw that mustang personally last friday when it came to brazil for the 6hours of interlagos. Honestly it was a show stealer, you could hear the car from miles away and it absoulutely stunned me how it tore through the track
I’ve always been a fan of Ford and their storied history of the GT40 during the 60s and their development for LeMans leading up to 2016. Thanks for this video, as a Mustang owner myself, I’m glad to see them at LeMans!!
You’re channel is such a great service to endurance racing fans dude. even after watching the races the story lines you present make them even more enjoyable. Genuinely look forward to your videos as much as the races themselves.
I second this. Race highlights from the official le mans channels were just the accidents and the hours mong safety car. It's annoying. Thanks Gooved Slicks!
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Thanks again for another cool video! I was listening to the coverage at home and heard the steering rack broke. What a debut! The team worked their butt’s off and the car was able to finish! Sister car 3rd in class. Bravo!
There actually 2 of them this blue one and a black and gold one. They are amazing to hear and look at in person. Was privileged to see them live at the LoneStart Le Man.
It makes me super happy to see my favourite Muscle Car now in the motorsports. What a way to debut as well. Glad you covered the Mustang footage through this video
Thank you for giving the world shotgun seat, also has amazing commentary, I watched about 12 hours of the race
4 місяці тому+2
The crowd was cheering like mad when the 77 Mustang came back out. They could have been on for victory. Unfortunate, but fantastic all the same. Go Mustang!
Bro! I was watching this live of Ford's UA-cam page. The mustang and 720s was some of best battling I've seen since the ford gt & Porsche in 2018 (imo) The 720s top end speed is ridiculous lmao
The Mustang turned into the working man's supercar! Comes stock with 4 wheel disc brakes and 4 wheel independent suspension and 450hp at entry level GT.
Incredible video! As an F1 fan that is new to endurance racing, it would be really helpful if there was a small track map with the current position of the car to keep reference as to where it is on the track :)
This looks like an absolute blast! When your Mustang keeps pace with a McLaren...You know it's a good car but the second driver was definetly struggling😁👍
Thank you again for bringing more life to racing. So many stories in this race to talk about and the mustang is one not to miss. I don't care much for drive to survive since 5% is about racing. I watch imsa and wec with much better context since seeing your videos.
Greetings from Colorado! Well DONE, mate! As a 'Bronze' level watcher/fan, I really appreciate the blow-by-blow, corner-by-corner, 1st hand watching/navigation commentary.

My first time on your feed and I'm mega impressed with your delivery, measured commentary, and excellent knowledge of the track and drivers. Easily as good as the people who get paid to commentate. Really good to see a focus on the GT3s, and your piece showed the early battles which, of course weren't shown on the official broadcast. I love the WEC, but have to say IMSA gets my vote as all races are free & no ads! I suppose there won't be a Corvette one, as no onboards? The Caddys had an eventful race, it's strange that they seem to do better or have more luck in the US? Greetings from the UK🇬🇧
Thank you so much for doing these videos!!! The amount of content that can be done from this race alone is amazing. Would love to see what happened in more details with the Proton 88 and the Penske's #6, really think they had a shot at the podium.
I love how Ford went a different approach to its muscle car than Chevrolet and Dodge did, the Mustang being the ultimate performance vehicle looking for another chance at glory in Le Mans, while Chevrolet and Dodge looking for absurd horsepower in their individual cars smh
Nice vid 😝
Its a crime all these GT3 fights were left out in the broadcast and acted as if they were just filler cars compared to the hypercars when they were way further from that.
On top of this the hypercar series with BOP and sandbagging is a shell of its former classes IMO.
so wait, Le Mans noobie here, I assume they have 2 different classes racing at the same time than?

I'm so glad you are giving light to this story. The Live broadcast forgot GT3s weren't just track features for the hyper cars.
Yea live broadcasts of Endurance races are just 90% Hypercar/prototypes and 10% GTD/GT3. Hate it cause these are the cars we can actually drive
Those mustangs are beautiful, man
This blue Mustang is fenomenal. So beautiful
One year ago, we had garage 56, this year we have mustang gt3
Can we just acknowledge how amazing the VO guy is at describing what's happening, & how he talks about each driver with such positivity. 💛💛💛

This video is the best video on Le Mans I've seen yet! FIA needs to sign you up to make their onboard movies.
No they don't
This Mustang is just beautiful and in GT3 class they will become super competitive
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Sounded so good. Nice to have Mustangs and the Cadillac Hypercar for audio enjoyment.
When Ford went to Le Mans this year, they really said: "Let the Mustang GT3 COOK and prove it's worth alongside the competition."
I've never watched a LeMans race before, let alone commentary on one, but yours was amazing man keep it up !
#77 could probably win the class if not for the steering issues it suffered during the early hours of the race.
Not to mention Hardwick being afraid of his machine
Thanks again for another cool video! I was listening to the coverage at home and heard the steering rack broke. What a debut! The team worked their butt’s off and the car was able to finish! Sister car 3rd in class. Bravo!

I love FORD and owned them for years. Glad to see them perform. I still can't get over the GM NASCAR from last year though.
Not me im an LS guy but this chassis is the best American manufacturers have come out with
I was watching the Mustang during the race. Very nice looking car. Very nice to watch it.
Great commentary as always. Btw was there an onboard camera on the no 88 Mustang? A video about the first podium for this car could be cool.
This video shows the talent of these drivers. The aerodynamics of the Ford needs a Adrian Newey touch up.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
That was how he came to win $1 million.
Here's hoping for a win next year. Very impressive pace for a first year car at le mans.
