Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 січ 2016
- The 24 Hour Rolex at Daytona International Speedway, the last 30 minutes of the race was the most intense race in the last decade across 2 of the 4 classes!
The GTD field had 5 cars within 25 seconds of each other and the GTLM class had a teammate battle for the 1st place position. Here are some highlights and last 10 minutes of the 2016 24 Hour Rolex.
Recorded from IMSA.tv using OBS. Stream was a tad choppy at times. Please be generous as to being able to see the ending battle :)

A 24 hr race down to a difference of 0.034s
A 0.000039% difference
Absolutely insane
There was an old saying GM made back in the day.... "The only thing that can beat a corvette is another corvette".
+judah hunter or an audi
+Johnathan Doe I don't remember that part.
Nick Rozell me either
lol i just said that because the audi beat it
+Johnathan Doe wasn't the audi on a different category?
man the corvette makes a badass sound when it takes off.
some badass farts.
It really does
Murican v8s
NOT ANYMORE!!!!!
It’s a sweet American sound
The problem with imsa is every year corvette wins the first few races, then they add weight to the corvette to make it "fair" and it doesn't win any more races that season.
Yeah, they saddled them with a restricter also. They started the season 20hp down because of the torque they produce. They just one at Lime Rock tho... 100th win with 60 1-2 finishes. Pretty dominant. They also would have one the points championship last year if Mags started the last race at Road Atlanta. All he had to do is finish but he sat out with a concussion from the previous race...
PanadaTM don't complain, just think about the monster known as "Godzilla" dominating Bathurst races on Australia
Omega The husky they call it that because its a HIGHLY modded car
I didn’t know they did that 🤔
They did that to the Ford GT at Le Mans every year. It has the highest Weight addition and they have to limit the HP. So fucking stupid.
Corvette Racing gained unlimited awesome points for this.
Marketing department: "We're in the last twenty minutes, we're out ahead, last year was terrible, all we have to do is cruise to the finish line! Yes! We win! Okay, call them off."
Team boss: "You have a green light, gentlemen. Go racing."
I got to see this live when it happened. It's one of the two great moments of sports I have ever been privileged to witness.
What's the other one!
The corvette is such a beautiful car
One of the best muscle cars in history also the Corvette c5.r and Corvette c6.r
@@krishonboucher-best2550 It's a sports car tho.
@@digitalcamaro9708 correct
And fast and reliable
@@krishonboucher-best2550 Calls it a muscle car then proceeds to name the Lemans race car versions🤣
i keep clearing my throat because of the commentators voice. lol.
them corvettes are the meanest looking cars on the track and most aggressive
I stayed up for the entire 24 and the last 15 minutes completely wrecked me lol. Great race. One for the books.
Watching those Corvettes race made me forget I had to go to sleep. That was awesome racing. Congrats to Corvette Racing Team.
That is a great end of an era! Corvette has been one of my favourite racing cars ever! C5.R C6.R C7.R all magnificent beasts, can't forget the thunder going down Mulsanne straight. Sadly the new one is a departure and a completely different machine. I wish them all the success tho.
Still an amazing car!
The C8R is going to turn this series upside down. A rear mounted pushrod v8? Still has a lower center of gravity? GAME GENIE CODE ENHANCED
sadly its a flatplane crank v8, it wont sound great like the previous corvettes :/
Well that didn't happen lol
@@tyler9703 Yeah, fingers cross they fix the issues and put it out front through the rest of the IMSA season and in the WEC
The C8R is going to have DOHC sadly.
@@area51alien29 stfu dude why don't you offer an insightful opinion instead?
7:30 that 'wow, wow, wow' is still my favourite piece of commentating ever
Can't wait to see the new C8.R at Daytona in 2020!
One Nation Under God
It was not impressive sadly. 😢🤔🥴
@@TooManyChoices1 did you see what happened this year? Almost the same as 2016!
0:00
McQueen: no no no Tires.
Crew: YOU NEED TIRES IDOITS!
I remember watching this race lol. This was by far the best finish I've seen.
such great racing! Congrats Corvette Racing
AWSOME I miss this not being on national TV replayed over and over
1:53
that laugh and snort.
Thats what I love about General Motors, they do not limit their companies and teams to be less than anyone else If your product is faster, the only remedy is to make your product even more so. These guys are the best and of course the best GT cars out there is the Corvette. MURICA!!!
+Servant of JESUS CHRIST except from pontiac and every car in the 60's
omar fuller that was when corvette was the max they wanted gm actually isnt the same company anymore
So, if the Corvette is such a brilliant car how come they always seem to have to resort to the old bump and run to get by a fast competitor?
I agree 1,0000 %
@@katrinapaton5283 You think Corvette is the only team to ever do that? That is what Porsche is known for. Hell all the German car companies bump.
I can't get over how awesome this track is. Its simple, flows lovely and not too long that you forget which corner they are at. Love love love it!
Corvette looks great! Great to see Lamborghini too!
This one UA-cam video was more exciting than the past few years of F1
Cool! Glad I can watch this again! Great teamwork and trust here.
Nice to see Corvette Dominating there Class.. Been kicking ass for the past 15 years..
+woodystorey hahaha
seriously more excuses..The Vette and the Ferrari follow the same rules...Corvette Race Team has dominated the past 15yrs ..Won more races than Porsche and Ferrari ..Corvette is the better race team/car proven by their WIN dominance over the last 15yrs.

Looks like other teams claim Ferrari has the advantage!!1 I dont see any claiming the Corvette has the advantage!! hahaha you fail on every level!!!
Sucks to be you and have to watch Corvette and their fans celebrating WIN after WIN!!
Yes we all have seen what ferrari does when all is equal..They lose, proven my many reviews/test done by Auyto Experts..
Your bias and hate towards a car and its fans tells your WHOLE STORY...
Therefore your Opinion can HOLD NO VALUE!!

Once again I ask you please provide something that disputes my original comment..Oh Wait ,YOU CANT =YOU FAIL!!
GO WHINE SOMEPLACE ELSE
+zeusdog34 the BoPs really limit the cars in IMSA. The Ferraris do.inated the 24 Hour Le Mans last year if i remember correctly.
Simply amazing!
Thanks for posting, unfortunately I missed the live finish.
Ive noticed that people that dont like corvettes are either haters that dont know about cars, weirdos or both. Corvettes are great looking sports/supercars that dominated racing and streets for decades. Yet morons dont want to respect them. Lambos, ferrais, porsches all have been owned on freeway runs by my ZR1. All those owners like corvettes some own vettes too.
And now those Lambos, Ferraris, and Porsches have been dominated at VIR by the 2017 Grand Sport, too.
Respect earned.
Yeah...Corvettes over the generations have been the best looking cars and dominating Gt car races over the years you just get haters who are jealous that the road versions are half the price of most of the other cars but can beat them. There is also an anti American feeling and a snobbery of the European marques and Europeans, even though i'm British i respect all cars and have to admit that the Corvettes are simply...awesome!!!!!
couldn't agree more!
Same reason why people hate civics, it’s relative cheaper and owners often have too much ego
Bro, and there's talks of a MR Vette now. The handling of that car is going to explode into wins.
A Corvette nudging a Porsche out of the way to get past? Where did I see this before...
"unless a divebomb"
*""""not gonna happen""""*
Hindhaugh's end-of-race raspy voice is one of a kind ❤
Can't wait to see the C7.R back at LM this year. Last year's battle with Ferrari was fascinating to watch.
You do know that IMSA allows the Ferrari teams only 79 liter fuel tanks while the Vettes get a 92 liter fuel tank and that the Ferrari teams are made to use the smallest air intake restrictor of all the other cars....you know that right?...but during the LeMans the rules are equal and the Vettes don't do near as good against the Ferrari, AF CORSE Ferrari win the WEC world championship 3 years in a row 2012, 2013 and 2014 and won LeMans in 2012 and 2014.....last year at LeMans the Ferrari was beating the Vette by 2 laps, but some debris on the track got jammed up in the Ferrari gearbox allowing the Vette to go by and win. In IMSA, the Vette does good because the Ferrari has about 30% of its performance taken away, in the WEC where the rules are equal, the Vette rarely wins...you knew all of that right?...
woodystorey you do know you're leaving out some fairly important details as to why that is the case, right? You do know that, right? Right? RIGHT?
Tell me what that would be?....that IMSA doesn't want a foreign car to win over their prescious Vettes?....the rules are totally unfair against the Ferrari teams, I am actually Facebook friends with 2 Risi pit crew members, and factory Ferrari drivers Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Olivier Berreta...I was messaging back and forth with Bruni during the "roar before the 24" and he was telling me the 488 could not accelerate with the Vette or stay with it on top speed, plus having the smaller fuel tank meant the Vette went farther on a tank of fuel and to top it off Risi and SMP Ferrari had to use smaller refueling nozzles that slowed their fuel delivery during pit stops....it's altogether totally unfair and all these Vette fans thinks it soooo great that the Vettes won Daytona and Sebring....but we'll see what happens at LeMans where under the WEC BoP is equal for all cars...we won't be seeing any Vette wins at LeMans like last year, and the Ferrari only lost out last year after leading with 55 minutes when debris from the track got jammed into the Ferrari gearbox just after Vilander ran down and passed the Vette and was pulling away easily....but you probably didn't watch LeMans last year did you?...
@Emabrrassment.....I've been waiting for these details I left out...or are still trying to figure out what those details are?...
woodystorey you need to insert them yourself brother your saying in a different class that ferrari wins compared to corvette yet thats not how racing works in endurance racing they put all cars on a level playing field and try and make it more about driver and team a fuel tank really that matters so more fuel weight for corvette less for ferrari that means it actually is more efficient dont it oh wait all these cars arent really running poor fuel so of course some cars need more then others
shit if yiu care about air dams why did caddilac win dpi this year? why do you need such excuses of wait because your not really a racing fan you just seem to love that enzo dont you
I enjoyed this video. A big thanks to the poster!
I heard a pig at 10:18
🐽
And 9:27 too
I miss the C5, C6 and C7 Corvettes. Not to knock the C8.. but the sound, and shape were iconic.
Fully agree. C6 was my youth, love that car so much.
Awesome Corvette Racing!
The corvette won, but the corvette won my heart
The only race team..to race each other...amazing....
Finally after what 2 3 years we get the new Audi lms body I thought we would never get it
Modern F1 could learn a thing or two from broadcasts like this. Split screen for simultaneous battles.
True racing spirit!
Who's here from 2020? 😁
The new C8.R sounds castrated, like an angry paper shredder. It lost that earth shattering loud thunderous roar that the C7.R and C6.R had. I'm here to reminisce the C7.R, I already miss it. I was there at this race, one of the best finishes. Corvette Racing FTW!
Tranceport913
Already missing the 6.2 😢
Was watching 24 of Daytona yesterday. Just not the same.
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen on track.
One of my favorite cars to drive in Gran Turismo
good lord this life is so good looking at these two together - omg wow - take me there and again and again
oh how we will all miss this
Merican V8 WINS Will be interesting to see the eco-boost v6 in the GT
+Josh Cohenour ok
Ford still hasn't dialed in thier turbo 6's yet, I'm sure they'll be more competitive with more races and r&d under their belt.
***** The two DNF's I saw this season were because of engine failures?
it was the gearbox
Obviously Ford fixed their problems considering their result in the Rolex 24 this year
Why do they race Lemans cars with the other cars? Multiple class race? I'm new to this kind of racing.
Corvette 1-2 finish...brilliant, let's hope it carries on for the rest of the season..great cars..
Hell yes, European/British drivers for THE WIN!!
Katrina Paton but with American cars
Epic drive from the corvettes incredible battles
goose bumps!!!
Was this recorded with a potato?
I thought this was 2017. WOW, watched the whole thing... haha
Corvette looks so dominating 😱
Corvette has always been a dominant car in the IMSA racing league. And with good reason too!
my dream job!
They sound like the pod racers from Star Wars Episode One 😂
I swear watching this makes me want to stand up and salute while humming the anthem
Wreckers or Checkers..What great driving between CORVETTE RACING..Got to be one the best racing at Daytona ever! RIP #3
What does PC stand for. I know what GTD, GTLM, and P stand for but couldn’t find PC.
You probably looked it up by now but it stands for Prototype Challenge. Pro and amateur drivers
awesome ending
My least favorite thing about any sport nowadays is the commentators have to constantly fucking talk. If there's a second of silence they panic and say whatever stupid thought is floating through their heads. Just shut up!!
Im so glad its not just me... This is one thing I love so much about Formula 1; the commentators are just conversationalists. Everything else I see has some bloke just indistinguishably yelling into a mic the whole time...
That noise!!!!
Dat little bump and run was so awesome to see..lol
The tension and the pressure on the drivers, i just cant imagine. They cant even take a piss lol.
the end of the DP ?
Corvette still Dominating.. Great win team Corvette!!!
better than nascar hopefully it become super popular like nascar in the late 90's early 2000's
Quelle belle image ces deux corvettes. C’est magnifique# team chevy.
The two best GT road racers in the world...C7R Corvette...wow!
What is p leaders and gtlm leaders?
Separate glass leaders. P = Prototype. GTLM = Grand Touring LeMans
@@ScumbagScotty Are they running at the same race?
@@jesussoto6855 correct. Multi class racing. This races had 4 separate classes at the same time.
@@ScumbagScotty sounds unfair. Do they have way different caractheristics? or they are kinda similar?
Why would that 2nd corvette always come out faster on the straight? Is it Aero settings, slipstream or maybe both? I mean even the gear ratio, if allowed to change, can be a reason.
Slipstream, there would be no reason to have different setups on the same car.
0:52 probably the biggest advantage Corvette has in GTLM is that they are REALLY good under braking, especially when compared to a Porsche with all that weight in the back. This is no coincidence since production Corvettes also share the same trait when compared to the rest of the world.
True. Not just weight bias either. They are renown for their brakes and lack of fade
That’s what you call pure muscle power
I love the corvettes....it is such a badass car.
Can't wait to see a mid engine vette out there C8 coming 7~17~2020
Wait so why do they allow different categories to race in the same track?
IMSA Racing has 4 categories. On larger tracks and longer races, all 4 compete at the same time. On smaller tracks, they split the field.
Most endurance series have multiple categorys, so they have basically multiple lead battles in one race.
What is the car behind the vetts at 7:31 ??? It looks like a corvette badge!
elias roman I was wondering the same thing. Its likely the mid engined Corvette in a higher class. Rumor has the C8 is gonna be mid engined. You can get a better look at 13:09
WarpPal I doubt the base model will be mid engined.... maybe for the zr1 they'll put the kid engine (not this upcoming zr1 but the one after that one)
elias roman Well One of those prominent auto magazines talked about this with one of the Corvettes head engineers and they are flirting with the idea. They even asked prominent auto designers to submit their designs. Chevy actually made a mid engined Corvette concept in the 80s so the Corvette is GOING to be mid engine at some point very soon, either C8 or C9.
It's the corvette Daytona prototype they ran back then
sick shot 00:00-00:05
guys a phantom snorter i tell yer
Where is the public? I was born in Le Mans and love the 24H race there that gathers a quarter million people from all over Europe every year. I'd love to go to Daytona to watch this fantastic race. But where are the people ?
101 wins! corvette champion!
The timer is going crazy.
My Favorite Corvette And Ford GT
Это было очень нежно 1:15 , в сравнении с тем как Порше воткнул Корветт на финишной прямой в Laguna Seka.
Now the C8 Corvette just annihilated porsche, bmw and ferrari.
Before I died I want to visit three race tracks le mans monaco grand prix and the indy 500.
MrGameFreak I already have been to one so far
MrGameFreak Not the Nordschleife? That's...poor... I mean it's the best track in the world...
Check Daytona and Secca
I'm not a fan of American cars but those corvettes are so damn amazing
*snorts into the microphone
**snorts into the fucking microphone?!*
As they were talking about the Audi fuel problem the previous year, the Audi begins to slow. Oh the irony
Passes the BMW with ease . Porsche with ease . Back in 1988 Corvette became competitors and winners .
I love how there now limit on pit exit! They just want you to hit that little Shikane!
MURICA!!!
oohhhhhhhhh yea!!
Gotta love the AMERICAN education system dontcha?
Katrina Paton im doing great so FUCK YEAH!
Katrina Paton looks like it's alot better than Italy's
S education does not correlate to intelligence.
I wish I can here that pit radio!!,
Well it's good to see bump'n'run tactics are alive and well in American GTLM racing. Funny how it always seems to involve a Corvette running up the arse of a Porsche though, eh? Shame the Kiwi didn't have a wall to run him into, apparently that's a mighty fine reposte in those situations.
Let's not forget about our friend Jörg Bergmeister
Looking back and watching this in 2024, most of these GT drivers now race GTPs. Examples: Bamber, Westbrook, Tandy and more
The mighty C7R Corvettes....front engine still beating the rear engine cars..so when the C8 mid engine Corvette comes out...what then?
The commentator snorts at 10:18. Youre welcome.
🇺🇸
4:54 "...but Garcia has no ChOs, chAi, no choice..."
Who is the play by play announcer?? Awesome!
Main one is John Hindhaugh.
He's good. I like when the 24 hour races come to an end - the announcers are always punchy.
