I saw and HEARD these at Le Mans in -87. The best was when they past by at almost full speed the restaurant at les hunadieres where we ate and drank and hade a great time. And the windows were wide open towards the track! What a wonderful noise that was, and what a wonderful memory that is, and thank´s a lot for this wonderful video!
Yes, the unique sound takes me right back to 87 and 88 at Le Mans. The experience of sitting at the cafe halfway down the Mulsanne straight, literally a few feet from the track and hearing these Jags scream by at 400kph is unforgettable and was something you would struggle to find anywhere else in motorsport, then or now. I was lucky to be there and this great video brought back great memories. Thanks.
Oh be still my heating heart... The car that made me fall in love with sportscar racing after playing it on GT6. Without doubt, the XJR8 and 9 are THE greatest British endurance, group c car and le man's winner we've ever built! Grazzie from the bottom of my heart bozzy and may the V12 howl of the jag NEVER fall silent! 🏁🇬🇧
Grand touriso has never done justice to the sound of group c cars. They are LOUD except for the 956 and 962 which have a beautiful purr especially in the hands of Bell and Stuck.
Excellent comments, I went to LeMans from 1987 to 1995 and after my first taste of these machines came home sold my Triumph Stag and bought my beloved British Racing Green Jaguar XJS 5.3 litre V12. Loved driving a car with an engine that raced at LeMans
Aside from the electrifying sound, I love watching these Jags take curves and corners with the car flat parallel to pavement, no tire squeal, apparently effortless. Much like the slot cars we played with as kids in the 1960s.
Another Jaguar that won at Le Mans - underfunded, under resourced with a giant, heavy road engine, somehow those brilliant engineers and skilled drivers managed to do it again - an unrepeatable feat from all those concerned in the TWR-JaguarSport operation. HATS OFF!
And the crazy thing is that the origins of that engine date back to the early 60s, but it was still a good enough basic design to win Le Mans all those years later
I got to see and hear a V12 Jag at the Del Mar Grand Prix in the late 1980s, and never forgot the sound. They'd accelerate away from a corner, and we'd think, okay, he's going to shift about... now. Nope, they'd keep right on going, and we'd think, surely he'll shift now! Nope. The sound of that engine, I never forgot it. In this video, thank you to whoever recorded it, keeping the scenes in after the cars go out of sight, so that we can hear that echoing exhaust note :)
Please more and more beautiful noises like this two JAGUAR... What a monster this V12, I remember when I saw it in the end of the 80's (24 Heures du Mans)... 👍👍👍🏎️🏁🤓🇫🇷
Great memories. Having been an avid F1 fan and attended several races,I thought I'd give Group C a try, and so I attended the 1986 Silverstone 1000km race ,and watched Derek Warwick and Eddie Cheever win in the Jaguar XJR-6 beating Derek Bell and Hans Joachim Stuck in the factory Rothmans Porsche 962C. From that race on I was hooked on sportscar racing above all other categories, and so it has remained for the last 38 years !
Fell in love with the XJR-8LM ( the low wing without the wheelcovers ) when I saw it in the report from '87 LM as a wee lad, one of my favourite race cars ever, still love it just as much. Removing the wheelcovers does wonders for the lines of the Jags.
my favorite group c car that I played on project cars 2. I always pick the car which has the most V's because in my head, the more V's the better sound
@@mortenmarx8717 - panoz, not enough cylinders😏 - FXX, a bit too high pitched and artificial like the road cars using the same engine - 917, sounds really nice but i can't hear it on the track (not loud enough compared to the GT40, T70...) - 512M, sounds a bit too agressive - zonda R, well there you may have a point... I really love is as well
I remember watching these Jags at the braking point on the hanger straight, and because it was about 1987 there were no building on the infield. It was possible to watch the cars from the start of the hangers straight, around Stowe down to Club the along to the kink and then as they were now just tiny specks from our view point, they would disappear around woodcote and balls the along the start finish
This is why I’m not in love with modern racing. I don’t care if modern race cars are faster around corners or more fuel efficient. Sure it’s nice that they’re safer now but nobody was ever forced to get into a race car.....that I know of:) Nothing compares to the sound, the visuals, the driving skill and the balls it took to race these cars. I saw the XJR9, XJR10, XJR14 at the Camel GT in the late 80s-early 90s as a kid. Great memories
Saw them debut as the xjr6 at brands hatch a couple of years earlier and they looked gorgeous in British racing green and gold. Still the loudest car I've ever heard. On Pilgrims drop you could feel your diaphragm vibrate and felt physically sick and pretty close to the threshold of pain. Those cats had a roar
Yeah, I saw them at Brands Hatch in 1985 too when they ran in the green and white livery, it was just after they had their first run at Mosport. Saw the first win the year after at Silverstone which was brilliant, they'd increased them to 6.5 litres by then and were in the silk cut livery (censored one at Silverstone) watched them each year from then right up to the turbo v6 and finally the 7.4 litre V12 and then onto the XJR14. Great days and a superb series!!!
@@marks7197 it's only when you look back you realise how special that era was, and how lucky we we to see them run in real anger. I know they still run but you know they aren't being pushed as hard as they were. The year Johnny dumphries and Mauro Baldi hounded them to the end of the race on the same lap at brands in a 962gti is still probably the greatest race I've ever witnessed
@@badgers1975 I know exactly what you mean. My family were big Jag fans and still are so we were over the moon in 1986 at Silverstone. Back then we could walk the circuit afterwards and everyone had their union flags it was great. My favourite race though was at the ETCC event, might have been for the Tourist Trophy when Walkinshaw was chasing down one of the 635s in the XJS when it had dropped a cylinder or two, up on two wheels through woodcote chicane! Awful weather that day but didn't spoil it at all. The variety made it so special with different looks and particularly sounds... Very different today sadly.
@@marks7197 different times, I lived 20 minutes from brands and it was cheap. Our tickets for the grand Prix we £25, lost my dad recently and i found all his photos and slides, my son is a massive Motorsport and grandturismo fan, we were going through them and he turned and looked and said , is there a legendary car or driver from that era you haven't seen. The honest answer was look at the pictures we saw it all. Group C, F1 , touring cars, rallycross, and I've probably missed loads . We'll never see the like again there was literally something happening every few weeks.
Hey bozzy, I have an ideea for a video. You should make a best of video with cars passing under the bridge towards the Ascari chicane like on 4:58 Also, great work, as always ;)
Mostly designed by humans - there was a little CAD available but nothing like the level of CFD we have these days. Everyone was looking for the optimal shape by slow trial & error. Plus the rules were much wider, everything is massively over-regulated now unless it's done by BoP ( and at that point you might as well not try & refine your design anyway ).
I asked myself what kind of car it is and then I saw your comment. It sounded really good. With difficulty, but after a lot of research and searching about the event, I finally found out what car it was, car number 85, Spice SE90C with a 3.5L 550hp naturally aspirated Cosworth V8 engine. It was not a successful car, but the sound of its engine is amazing.
I saw and HEARD these at Le Mans in -87. The best was when they past by at almost full speed the restaurant at les hunadieres where we ate and drank and hade a great time. And the windows were wide open towards the track! What a wonderful noise that was, and what a wonderful memory that is, and thank´s a lot for this wonderful video!
I'm so jealous!!
I'd give anything to hear these beauties in anger at le mans that year, my favourite group c and outright le mans car of all time...
I was also there that day.............goosebumps!
Hans Svedberg one can only imagine these days....

6.16 a beautiful sound as upshifting going under the bridge. Listen the that glorious V12 pure. Just stunning 👌

I was just watching your group C compilation, and you give us this?? You're spoiling us! Love the group C sounds!
These are by far the most beautiful sounding group c cars ever made. Stunning.
One of the best looking race cars ever built👍
Oh hell yes! Nice to see them running without the wheel spats on too
Looks so much better without them😯
Best engine sound ever composed. Period!
No, the mazda 787b is
You are all wrong, Audi Quattro S1. Mic drop.
And the crazy thing is that the origins of that engine date back to the early 60s, but it was still a good enough basic design to win Le Mans all those years later
Jesus Christ 😦😦😦😦😦😦
So nice to hear the Jaguars roar in their natural environment!
I saw and heard them at the RING 91 with Schumacher in Sauber Merc .
MADNESS ! ❤❤❤❤❤
The Jag V12's weren't at the Nurburgring in 1991. It was the 3.5 litre Cosworth HB car.
I got to see and hear a V12 Jag at the Del Mar Grand Prix in the late 1980s, and never forgot the sound. They'd accelerate away from a corner, and we'd think, okay, he's going to shift about... now.

Renrane Sadly that’s not the case especially with the hairdryer noise from the Pagani Huaryas V12 and the upset stomach sound of the Bugatti’s W16
You're one of those who like high pitched sounds, I like from aggressive tiger-like growls from a V8 to a banshee-like V12 :D
Zekkai yeah that’s true the only V8 that I truly love the sound of is in the Koenigsegg Ageras/CCs
@@akafxde7245 Forced induction sound tame to N/A
@@akafxde7245 The Bugatti has four turbos which probably affects the sound.
Questo è di gran lunga l evento più bello ed immersivo che fanno a monza
I was waiting for this like for Christmas. XJR-9 is my favorite Le Mans car of all time.
Absolutely majestic
Nice video I enjoyed it, I could watch Group C cars on track for hours.
Long live the golden age of group C

900 kg on that car & it's broght a bigger V12 engine on it... what a car!...

Those old Jags are so distinguished.
That Sauber C11 sound at 4:40 though
Good video bozzy
My favourite le mans car 😆
why do old race cars look so much cooler than new ones
Probably because they don’t have 100 billion aero appendages cluttering the chassis.
Mostly designed by humans - there was a little CAD available but nothing like the level of CFD we have these days. Everyone was looking for the optimal shape by slow trial & error.
Plus the rules were much wider, everything is massively over-regulated now unless it's done by BoP ( and at that point you might as well not try & refine your design anyway ).
Interestingly they went with single-cam cylinder heads. Why single and not double?
is this the same V12 that powered later the Lister Storm GT1?
This and Porsche 917, the best.
What is the car driving by at 3:26? Holy crap, sounds better than the jag
