I would've put the Mazda 787b as number 1, but I just don't have the best footage of it yet. Only some slow and quiet demo laps at Le Mans and Goodwood.
I think that's the best thing I loved about the Group C era: no 2 cars were same. There was so much diversity, from the Angel-like song of the Jag's V12, to the beastly roar of the Merc V8, to the banshee-like scream of Mazda's rotary. This was racing. No endless pages of rule books. No nannies to save your ass. Just you, and the car. As one.
IMSA's DPi category has the diversity you're looking for. Cadillac pushrod V8s, Acura twin-turbo 6s, and my personal favorite, the mazda turbo 4 that sounds like it has a bone to pick with the universe as a whole.
@@griffinfaulkner3514 I mean it was no where near the level of Gr.C or even prime GT1 and LMP1 but hey, for now it's the best we have on the prototype front.
The Mercedes V8 was a pleasant surprise. I thought it would sound exotic, but it sounded like the gnarly V8's I grew up with. The Mazda 787 never disappoints.
how the fuck does that sound good? compared to something like the 991.2 RSR which sounds LEAGUES better. I don't get how so many people like the sound of high pitch screeching, sounds horrible
I remember standing at the Mulsanne kink about 2am back in 1991 and hearing the fantastic Group C cars howling down the straight during the night. They all sounded so different to one another. From the low bassy C11's, to the V12 7 litre Jags, then the flat 6 962's, and finally the ear-splitting quad rotor 787B - my absolute favorite, and it won!
I'd say that the C-9 sounds better than this newer car.. Not to put this video down, but Bozzy has some very good footage from Monza with it. Very loud
Among the group c monsters, my fav is 787b. The unique engine design with orgasmic sound. They say it can rev up to 11k rpm boasting 900+ 🐴 power but capped at 9k rpm with 700hp. The best part is, after finished the race in 1991(they won) the scrutineer found that the engine was still in perfect condition and ready to go another 24 hours. 787b lacked in pace especially down the mulsanne straight compared to the mighty sauber c11, but due to reliability they managed to grab the trophy and became the first japanese team to won le mans.
The engine was literally the only reliable part of the 787B. The chassis was bad quality for the time and considering it wasn't even the fastest, it's crazy how the chassis almost came apart. If it had ran for another hour, the firewall would've seperated from the rear subframe, basically ripping the car in 2. The scrutineer found stripped screws laying around in the cabin and in the actual firewall, there was a huge gap between the subframes. It was a good car but it is extremely over-rated. The 956/962 dominated not just Le Mans, but Group C as a whole for almost a decade, making it one of the most successful race cars of its time, but not just that. They rarely, if EVER retired from a race. It's a shame no one really cares to talk about how good that car was, especially considering it held the Nurburgring lap record for 30 years.
The Sauber Mercedes were my absolute favorite Group C machines, but these things are all phenomenal. We will never see racing like this again sadly. What an era this was.
787B is one of the greatest sounding cars of all time, I'd have been upset if it came anywhere other than first (if you had the footage to go with it.)
2:46 is just a glorious moment, the mix of between that brutally savage V8 screaming alongside the banshee like 4 rotor is just one of the best bits in this video for me personally

The Sauber Mercedes is so beautiful! Sounds like an unforgiving beast. The Peugeot's V10, when passing by it sounds like the glorious formula 1 cars (McLaren Honda, Williams Renault). V10s are the best sounding engines on the planet. Can't leave out the pure savage sound of the Mazda, what a beast.
Too bad the Mazda sounded like shit in real life. Unlike a conventional reciprocating engine, the Mazda has no harmonics at all and it's painfully loud. If that's your thing, be my guest but back in the day pretty much everyone hated it.
The Madza sounds like 1960's French Matra F1 car. Love it. I saw the Matra in 1969. Jackie Stewart won. But the Matra was the loudest and coolest sounding car. You had no choice, but to cover your ears when it went down the back stretch after Mos Corner.
I was every year at Le Mans in the extraordinary era of these marvellous machines. It was absolutely fabulous for the eyes and ears. A big thank you for this video full of symphonies and nostalgia...
thats why im still playing Gran Turismo 4!! All this cars togheter, perfect sound recreation and very precise driving simulation. Thank you for share it!!!
When #5-#2 had been announced and the Mazda still hadn't appeared, I just knew ☺☺ that you had picked the exact same one I would have! 🧡💚🧡💚 No race car in history has sounded better than the 787B!!
They all sound amazing. I personally favor the sound of the C11, a hardy sounding turbo V8 with a full throttle exhaust note that’s reminiscent of group 4 thru 6 race cars of La Mans back in the 60’s.
We always went to Group C meetings in the UK as guests of Jaguar but for me the Mercedes is hands down the most beautiful sounding race car I've ever heard..
It may not be the most thrilling sound in Group C, but for pure nostalgia, surely a 956/962 should be there somewhere. It was the car that was always there, and always on the pace...
@@joshuaw_270 nope, that high pitched sound should only belong in f1 or indy cars. the mazda sounds so try hard its unreal. the engine it self sounds nice but the slow gear box ruins the shifting, thats why the merc c11 works and all the others.
Most unique in group C in the same time totally opposite are sound of Mazda and Sauber-Mercedes. After first listening Mazda gave more impression, but more I listen Merc is more under my skin. Belgian-M, you show best moment of sound transition, when air ripper is brutally overtaken by thundering earth shaker.:) C11 is probably most brutal in the same time very good handler, they look just right and have 'hammer of hell' engine. One of best racing machine ever.
The Mercedes sounds like nascar from the 90's which is amazing !!! I heard the new gen 7 will sound like this. However, the Mazda is just pure amazing !!!!
In your selection the Sauber C11 is easily the best. I went to Le Mans 18 times from 1991 onwards and the C9s and C11s were always beautiful to hear. Also Ferrari 333SP were divine.
That Mercedez... Somebody at the top said "Build us a racecar that sounds like a Messerschmidt!" and the team said "Ja vohl!" and they succeeded. That thing is amazing.
Jaguar XJR-9 is my choice. There are so much torque in that V12 that it doesn´t even need a close ratio gearbox. But the Mecedes sounds absolutely fantastic too.
Group C was a great idea but was, in effect, a spec rule from the opposite end. Rather than giving designers a list of specs, they gave them a box rule and a fuel allowance: 600 litres for a 1,000 km or six hour race and 2,500 for Le Mans. Brilliant.

Great video. Having been lucky enough to see the Group C era from start to finish, not missing a race in the UK from 1980 (Group 6/5) to 1991 and at Le Mans 89/90 I can speak from 'back in the day' The Mazda was epic, for about 20 laps and then it was just a pain in the ass. Today with all the kids getting excited it seems to have been elevated to a level it never had. It was not close to the quickest. it won Le Mans when all the quick cars left the series really. Sure it sounded magnificent at first, but then after a while was just a noise. V12 Jag and Sauber Mercedes were the kings of sound in terms of pure sound. Mazda was 'just a noise' after the initial 'oh my god' effect and the V8 Jag though fantastic to see was just a V8 noise. Pug sounded epic mind, but I would take the C11 over all. A subjective call of course.
Yes ! Those Mazda noises were painfull after some hours . I prefered the sound of the 1986 Mazda wich had a tri-rotor . The sound of the bi-rotor in 1982 - 83 was ugly . Sauber -Mercedes sound is OK but a bit low ( turbo's on exhaust path ) . Aston Martin V8 sounds were the best ( ground and body shaking !!! )
It's not a engine it's a car. The engine is a r26b and it was more or less mimicking the f1 cars of the decade. But because rotary or wankel it added it's own flavor in. Wouldn't say best but definitely sounds good
All of these cars sound glorious! If I had to choose right now, I’d go for the Jag. Tomorrow, maybe the madness that is that Mazda. Yesterday, the Merc………..and so on and so on……..and every day I’d be right.
It all comes down to which sound you like. Either the grunt of a V8 (a la Mercedes, Corvette or NASCAR) or the high pitch scream (Mazda or Old School F1 with V10's or V12's). I love them all and have been fortunate to have watched all of them in their heyday!! Good Times!!!
I would've put the Mazda 787b as number 1, but I just don't have the best footage of it yet. Only some slow and quiet demo laps at Le Mans and Goodwood.

きゅうきょくのおにぎり
昭和51年（1976年）頃、マツダサバンナ（サバンナRX-3）でよく鈴鹿サーキットに行っていた。想像通り、行き帰りは他車と駿足を試し？ながらだ。当時のサバンナはアクセルを底まで踏んでも170kmが限界だった。良く捕まらなかったものだ・・。さて、鈴鹿でもロータリは甲高い叫びを上げて近づいてきて、叫びながら第一コーナーに入って遠ざかっていく。ポルシェターボは第一コーナーに入るとき、バックファイヤーの炎と音は凄まじかった。この動画での4ローターはルマンで優勝したやつなのか？当時のルマン優勝で録画したビデオテープは今でも再生していない。テープが痛むのが怖いからだ。そして見ないまま、いずれ自分が先に死ぬのだろう・・。
787Bがルマンでトップを走っていた時、若かった自分は日本の技術の素晴らしさに心底嬉しかった。
同時に、これは日本の4輪モータースポーツで、今でも3本の指に入る快挙だと思う。
今、MAZDA車に乗っているのは、この車の影響もある。MAZDA車に乗るというのは本当に幸せだ。

Yes ! Those Mazda noises were painfull after some hours . I prefered the sound of the 1986 Mazda wich had a tri-rotor . The sound of the bi-rotor in 1982 - 83 was ugly . Sauber -Mercedes sound is OK but a bit low ( turbo's on exhaust path ) . Aston Martin V8 sounds were the best ( ground and body shaking !!! )
My favourite machines of all time !!!
I had been working at Mazda and retired in last August. I never forget the day we won at 1991 Le Mans. I drank with friends all night😀
love your choices based on your content, amazing race engineering at its finest.
The 787 is the BEST sounding engine ever, hands down. That scream is just incredible!
It's not a engine it's a car. The engine is a r26b and it was more or less mimicking the f1 cars of the decade. But because rotary or wankel it added it's own flavor in. Wouldn't say best but definitely sounds good
ロータリーはホントいい……
Mazda,lucky to be at le mans 1991 to hear and see the 787b win
Was it louder than the loudest f1s?
管楽器のような咆哮は聞いていて飽きない。７８７Bは楽器だね。
Wow incredible, the Mercedes Roar like a Lion and the scream of the Mazda! Love it
6 Am right now but this sound like music to my ear
Same here, great era
Love the “Mighty Merc” throaty growl, but the unmistakable sound of the Mazdas rotary…. is spine chilling!
Now imagine hearing all of these beast in the same race!!
All of these cars sound glorious!
If I had to choose right now, I’d go for the Jag. Tomorrow, maybe the madness that is that Mazda. Yesterday, the Merc………..and so on and so on……..and every day I’d be right.
The Mercedes and the Mazda sounded best by far. Both are insane.
Clearly is THE NUMBER ONE WITHOUT ANY DOUBT!!!! My God!!
That 787b is a weapon, looks cool and in gt sports is fun to drive 😎
@242turbo sorry the 767*
That Peugeot #2 is badass AND it's from the very first Le Mans I've watched. Thank you!
The c-11 sounds like an Airplane from the Second World War an very intimidating. But the sound of the Mazda is unmatched... such a scream!
It all comes down to which sound you like. Either the grunt of a V8 (a la Mercedes, Corvette or NASCAR) or the high pitch scream (Mazda or Old School F1 with V10's or V12's). I love them all and have been fortunate to have watched all of them in their heyday!! Good Times!!!
The Mazda sound is the best I ever heared
I love how when the 767b shifts it goes completely silent when the clutch is in then goes back to a angry bee
Rotary master race 👍
ドロドロ好みだからベンツ好きだわwもちろん日本人としてロータリーも誇らしいです
神様の楽器って言うコメントが理解出来ました(._.)_
REの音が気持ちよすぎます!!
Saw these cars racing in period, thanks for posting, great memories
