One of the most amazing Le Mans 24h stories must be the one about Duncan Hamilton showing up drunk, breaks his nose halfway through the race, and somehow still winning the whole thing.
Not just 400 km/h. It was 407, mate.
ChrJahnsen damn
A Peugoet hit 408 (but they said it was 405 because the Peugoet 405 came the same year)
At least......
I don't like Peugeot but if all their models were names after their top speed I could like their SUVs.
@@marcusm5127 Yoooo XD
Oh so the Mercedes that took off during Le Mans 1999 with Dumbreck is not crazy?
UA-cam Account #GatLePork sure is, but unfortunately that happened a lot more often in earlier years and not so fortunate results.
Or you know, 1955
yeah 1955 one was worth a mention
Ogechi Teixeira came here for this.
Don;t forget that it also happened to Mark Webber twice that year also in a Mercedea. Once during practice and also during the warm up.
I actually cried when Nakajima broke down. I didn't have a face car/team or driver, but that was gut-wrenching!
Every person that was in the main straight at that moment was either crying, speechless, or stunned.
It's a moment I will never ever forget, nothing describes the emotion felt by the crowd at that moment.
I still can't believe it years after.
2:56 damn it you caught me.
less button, more ?
Or less and more communication with your engineers ?
At least Toyota can run 23 hours Long, unlike Honda which can barely do a formation lap
Toyota won 2018

@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo Porsche has the most wins in lemans it is legendary how they began winning. Toyota since 2014 I think was the fastest, but 24 HR reliability was the issue... Porsche wins class wins now, why did they stop lmp1 I don't know.

3:37 some nice race footage you have there
correction; toyota just set an 3:14.791
Jelle Derks I was just looking for this comment 😃
I didn't wanted to be that guy, but... André Lotterer's time was set during the race and he did 3:17:476, not 3:17:647, like it was mentioned in the video. That time was also set in the 2015 race, but it was Filipe Albuquerque who did that lap time. And Lotterer's time is only the fastest lap time during the race, not the overall best.
Kobayashi's time was set in qualifying and it is the overall best lap ever.
(And apologies for my bad english.)
Not to mention, this record was on Mediums, hopefully soon again to be broken.
yuki no inu
The tires don't work like in F1. At all.
As astonishing as that lap was, it isn't the "all-time quickest."
The all-time quickest is the pole position lap set by Pedro Rodriguez in a Porsche 917K at Le Mans in 1971, a 3:13.9.
amazon prime le mans ad, I'm satisfied now
Grind Gear and here i thought i was the only one who got this ad 😂😂
Kartikey Chaubey I have gotten in thrice by now
Grind Gear me too lol
Grind Gear same haha, I tought that it actually already was the video
got it right now
and rotary engine was banned after the victory :D
One reason was that it was difficult to measure the displacement
The ban should have been in place even before the race, but due to complaints, the cars were allowed, and took what would be the first and only japanese victory for a quarter of a century.
Dorito engine
The ban was issued 2 years prior but inforced in 1992.... The Mazda raced for 2 years with 1 win out of 22 races.
@@ambergris5705 the Mazda raced for 2 years and won 1 race out 23..... And the ban was placed in 1990 but inforced in 1992.
I was confused to why people were calling Le Mans 66 ”Ford v Ferrari” then I remembered America
It’s kinda funny, I guess the idea was to put Ford in the name and the yanks would think their truck would be in it
@@Formula1st lol lol
And the fact that Gt40 was actually a british car first
@@aurickbiswas8233 bruh that was the cobra, not the gt40
@@nirowat6048 idk about cobra but Gt40 was originally a british car probably like a prototype which ford bought and named Gt40
OH THEY'RE PUTTING DRIES ON
1952: Pierre Levegh drives on his own for almost 23 hours and then retired with gearbox failure, while being seven laps in front of the second-placed competitor.
1955: Pierre Levegh and over 80 spectators died because of an idiotic move by Mike Hawthorn.
What about a certain driver (Porsche) who had the race won in the 23rd hour and near the end the engine blew...?
83
*tinfoil hat intensifies*
yeah Mike Hawthorn thats a criminal...
Don't say idiotic, accidents in motorsports happen.
Ok if he was idiotic to cause such a fatal crash, then go drive his race car and correct his mistake
2:55 you got me
Who is here after watching "Ford v Ferrari"?
Only me? Ok
Chad J. I am
Awful film
Matteo Tommasi shut up it was awsome
Matteo Tommasi leave. Brilliant film.
Chad J. I am
what about how tom kristensen (aka the le mans legend) not only won on his debut in the race, but also beat the lap record IN THE FREAKING NIGHT as in pitch black.
Respectfully (because T.K is GOD and driving Le Mans at night seems insane to me), many of the fastest laps are set in the cool temperatures of the night. What Kristensen always did well was move through traffic, triple stint tyres and somehow could occasionally eek an extra lap from a fuel tank. Smooth and deadly.
What about in 1995??????? McLaren GT-R was the last car to get an overall victory in a lesser class (LMGT1 defeated LMPs lol)
I help anytime LMGT1 and WSC were equal from 1994 to 1998, just so you know.The Porsche 911 GT1-98 and Dauer Porsche 962LM were also LMGT1 cars.
@@Ewane The McLaren in 95 was not similar to a WSC, or later modified prototypes that would take over the GT1 class from 96 to 98. It was just a modified sports car. That's why it's an important victory and moment in Le Mans.
@@nemesisracer5170 Modified supercar (was a hypercar before hypercar was even a thing) that was at the time the fastest production car built and by extension the fastest naturally aspirated production car (the latter title it still holds today as everything faster isn't naturally aspirated).
@@ShiningJudgment666 Yep. But it was the first and only time a production car, which was designed as a production car first, with some performance packages, won Le Mans. The Porsche in 96 was essentially a Dauer 962 with upgraded tech and a different body design. And in 94, the winner was literally a Dauer.
@@ShiningJudgment666 The F1 gtr was slower than the production version, going only 217mph I think.
Thanks for covering this up in under 4 min you are an absolute legend unlike other UA-camrs who spend 15 min explaining the same thing
2:41 McLaren Honda should use chewing-gum, amirite?

Verstappen will still win driver of the day at lemans
japotak99 Still not funny.
Driver of the day for Saturday, and for Sunday!
japotak99 Or... driver of the weekend?
japotak99 he has already won it.
Verstappen is trash though
Edward Ramsden Hall, also from the race in 1950, was the first (and only) man to drive solo for the entire distance, for 24h.
Probably already noted but only just watched this. As far as I know the Le Sarthe lap record is still held by Pedro Rodriguez at 3.13.9min in Porche 917 in 1971. I would have thought that that in itself even though the track has been altered is an amazing fact. To still hold a lap record in motor racing after almost 50 years is incredible.
1:26 - WR was the name of the car that went 405 km/h, not Peugeot. Peugeot was their engine supplier
He first stated Welter Racing though. Although... that's a bit wrong since they were known as WM(-Peugeot) back then, Welter Meunier.
tstone I thought the WR Pug went 408 kph, just beating a Quali lap by Kenny Acheson in the mighty Mercedes C9, which was on the same straight. He did 405 kph
that last cat's expression is so appropriate for the dramatic porsche win at the last lap ahahahahaha
tfw I'm less than a week away from 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans and this vid popped out in my recommended list
👏👏UA-cam, well played
I remember that Toyota finish in 2016. I remember seeing an older Japanese guy in the Toyota pits with what is probably the saddest face I'd ever seen. He looked like someone had just told him his whole family died. Like the hopes and dreams of his entire country were resting on his shoulders and he had somehow personally failed them. I wanted Toyota to lose the race, but not like that.
porschE
it's porschE
just please
5AVA6E MON5T3R Agreed
When I first heard someone say "Porsh," I thought they were talking about a food item.
Brands are pronounced differently in different countries and that's something normal. I'm sure you don't pronounce Nissan properly or Hyundai, because not even their ads in foreing countries pronounce it right, they just pronunce it like people does, same happens with Porsche
That's true. Fun fact... when Honda first spun of the Acura brand for North American use, the Japanese referred to it as A-Cure-uh instead of Aaaaa-cura. They eventually just gave up and pronounced it like we all pronounce it now.
In this case, BMW must be the most often incorrectly pronounced car manufacturer
burnout cheng is it read like this?
Be-em-we
english speaker ruins everythinghs
2:56 It's not NASCARs, they are called stock cars
Plus, NASCAR racers are
NOT stock, not any more, not even close !
Richard Fancher Sad but that's true
It is fine to refer to them as NASCARs. Besides the fact that everyone knows what it meant. NASCAR is National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Organizers reached out to NASCAR specifically. Not to, BSCDA, not to AUSCAR but to NASCAR. (ok, AUSCAR might not have been around then but you see what I'm getting at) So by saying, NASCARs, they avoid the clunky and partially redundant "NASCAR stock cars," and they avoid any confusion just saying "stock cars" might be since it was specifically to NASCAR. And the cars themselves were mostly run as is for NASCAR with the exception of adding mirrors and few other minor bits so stave off driver concerns.
Richard Fancher NASCAR racers are basically "silhoutte racing cars" meaning they only share a fleeting resemblance with the model they're supposedly based on, but in reality it's just a fiber glass shell over a bespoke chassis and engine. Until some years back NASCAR still used carburettor fed pushrod cast iron V8's and were ironically "stock" in a sense they were utilizing 50's racing technology.
The cars they race haven't been stock since the 60's but they can't very well change the name however false it is today.
Doesn't matter how he called them. If you have cars that only have a steering geometry (either left turn or right turn), they pretty much never had a chance.
Just as 2019 Le Mans finishes, I get recommended this even though I have watched it anyway. Oh well i’ll watch it again.
Duncan Hamilton's drunk victory in 1953 to me is the number one le mans story
I like your videos. They are well paced, interesting, and well produced. Kudos!
I feel that 1933 should have been pushed aside for 1953. The driver of the number 18 Jaguar C-Type qualified for the 24 hour race but was then Disqualified on a technicality. So Duncan Hamilton went into town, he found a local pub and got very, very drunk.However, whilst Hamilton was having his bladder blown by all the scotch , whisky , wine and beer the race organisers had decided that he could start the race after all. So at the start of the race we ended up with Mr Hamilton driving a race car for twenty four hours, whilst being drunk.During the race they gave Hamilton coffee at the pit stops to help him stay awake, but he claimed it made him too hyper. So at the next round of pit stops (despite already being pretty plastered) they made him drink Brandy. Later on, because their was no windscreen in the cars at the time, at 170 miles per hour a bird hit Duncan Hamilton in the face. Despite only wearing goggles, he didn't fall the same fate as Alan Stacey, (who was killed at the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix for the same reason) he continued at full speed. And, guess what happened.
He Won.
“The race organisers decided to let NASCAR’s compete”.
There were no survivors
😂
imagine if only there's 1 stock car that survived and finished
the FLEX
@@barkyonyx962 the sheer flex and bragging rights woulda been insane
1955 LeMans? I know it was tragic but it was the start for the push for safer tracks and cars. 1981, American Nascar driver Cale Yarborough hits 210 MPH in a Chevy Camaro. Also in 1981, Porsche enters a 936 out of a Museum because the new 962 was not ready and won Lemans with that car.
omg how funny the cat is lol THX for sharing this;)) btw new record holder you are))
the most fastest funnyiest speed spoken coverage ever about Le Mans in history)) Grats
thank you for making a concise video packed with information. I applaud you sir.
The WM P-88 ( Peugeot ) achieved 407 km/h ( 252.8 mph ) ...
Internet myth. Also wrong.
@@thethirdman225 No it's not, it's still to this day the speed record on the track... And it IS in the Guiness Book of records.
Not long after, the track staff decided to modify Mulsanne straight by making chicanes near the Hunaudieres, with the aim, albeit unadmitted, to slow down the track. Indeed, had they not do that, a few years later cars would have been doing 500kph on the straight... And you just can't survive in a crash at that speed, that would have been a recipe for a disaster.
@@XxJay71xX The Guiness Book of Records is wrong.
@@XxJay71xX Sorry, I'm not making my point very well. But I get sick of people trying to beat me over the head with internet myth when I was around during Group C and still have all my literature from the period (which I've added to since).
The Peugeot was measured by the ACO speed trap at 405 km/h. The ACO in the organisation that owns the Le Mans 24 Hour race and owns and operates the speed trap. They have done this for 60 years and they publish their results in the Autotechnica Annual for each race.
The problem is that the 407 km/h figure is wrong. It was 405 km/h. The other thing that always comes up is the myth that Peugeot changed it to coincide with the launch of a model in their range. Some say it was changed from 407 to 405 but Peugeot's influence doesn't extend that far.
Here is the list of the highest speeds attained each year from 1961 to 1990:
www.mulsannescorner.com/maxspeed.htm
@@thethirdman225 Yes there is a polemic about was it 405 or 407, sorry, your comment left me with the impression that you were implying the record didn't happen.
I say old chap, I never heard Jackie Icyx was protesting anything....I read that he was simply determined to be last out of the LeMans start because there was just too much risk of being involved in an accident. He wanted to lead the last lap - not the first lap.
He was protesting. Here's why: In 1968 his countryman Willy Mairesse crashed on the first lap ending his racing career. Another countryman; Lucien Bianchi won the 1968 race in the very same car Ickx raced in 1969 (same chassis nr.), and also in 1968 Ickx and Bianchi won the 6 hours of Watkins Glen in a Ford GT40 of the same John Wyer racing team.. Lucien Bianchi died in a car crash during the Le Mans March training session in an Alfa 33
@@alaindavid3756 His fears were borne out. John Woolfe died on a first lap crash.

Correction, the fastest ever lap is still not broken...
Fastest Lap (until 1989, pole position) 3:13.90 Pedro Rodríguez with a Porsche 917 in 1971
Man you can't compare group c era when there were only half the corners of the modern track.
If you put a group c car in this track today it will only lap well over 3;40
@@Ihelpanytime The 917 is not a Group C car. It raced under Group 5 (917K and 917LH), Group 6 (917/10 and 917/30), S 5.0 (917/20) in the early 70s and S +2.0 regulations (Kremer-prepped 917K/81) in 1981, whereas the Group C (which is different) was introduced in 1982.

0:27 what chemistry is doing here
The 1976 “NASCAR” entry wasn’t just for media attention. It was also the 200th anniversary of American independence, something that the French helped us with.
This was fun to watch 😂
I recently heard Matt will be racing next year at Le Mans
So he will corner cut and do the Bugatti circuit in stead then.
3:00 they didn't finish ... what a surprise, endurance has to be the exact opposite of Nascar racing. They may do 500 laps, but they are only 400 meter ..
Love this chanel
good video. good editing.
So we're just gonna skip 1966 le mans? Alright cool
"none of them finished the race" I laughed so hard

I wanna see the R18 on the 70s circuit
2:55 "Less buttons, more?"
My mind: Gentlemen, a short view back to the past
Nice work! You should perhaps include Pierre Levegh's 1952's only-me driver strategy for Talbot (he lasted 23 hours, and had engine failure with a four-lap lead.) He actually had a co-driver, who he refused to let drive!
And, of course, the 1955 crash (the worst in racing history, by casualties) that killed somewhere between 80 and 130 spectators, and 1 driver (again, Pierre Levegh, driving a Mercedes.) Levegh's Merc, with magnesium allow bodywork, burned for several hours (right down to the frame) on the side of the track, while the race continued on.
Briggs Cunningham did basically the same thing, and he finished. And Luigi Chinetti did it, and won.
where is the 787b!??? #wankel4life
Won 1991 24h of Le Mans... but, it's not a big deal.
I help anytime and it was the first asian car to win the 24h le mans
Just a shame it didn't win because it was the best car on the grid and instead got a helping hand by regulation changes that had it running 100KG lighter than it's competitions. Still, love that car though.
Nigel Mansell That and its contemporaries had a 100 kg ballast.
One hit wonder.
The 787b only ever won 1 race, which happened to be the 91 Le Mans.
I will never forget standing on the Start/Finish straight right next to the finish line in 2016! As a Porsche fan, the atmosphere was electric
What if I told you WTF1, you put this video out to early. now there's 8 crazy lemans storys.
I've heard of the Mazda 787B that won Le Mans in 1991! Gotta love that 4-rotor scream from that baby!
3:23 now they won Le Mans
Correct me if im wrong, but didn't the Sauber Mercedes C11 reach over 400km/h as well?
HovercraftHoliday Ah ok. I knew it was one of the Sauber cars, i just took a stab at which one it was lol.
those Nissan group c cars were power houses, apparently the Nissan r92cp, which could not compete at leman as the banned turbos from the class, had over 1193hp in qualifying trim, and hit 250+mph down Fuji speedway big straight, back then Fuji had a higher speed entry to the straight, just think about how well either would have done without the chicanes on le man
The Peugeot drove 407kmh. Which was changed into an 'officially' 405kmh to promote the Peugeot 405. Of cause the Prototype retired, so the 398kmh Sauber should get more credit than it actually gets.
This is how youtube channel should put many content in one video. Short and simple explaination
2:55
You've paused the video to read this, did you?
car throttle style vids
HOW CAN U NOT MENTION 1966 ?

ThatCarGuy good point, should have briefly mentioned it and then put a link in to the documentary for that great battle.
thats more a thing of anglosaxonic countries

Lol Toyota should have won in:
1994
1998
1999
2014
2016
Yeah but they didn't. Don't know why fate is so cruel but, they just didn't.
alex21212121 maybe they didn't use rotary engines?
At 2015071 rotary won because they were reliable at a time powerful piston engines weren't. Sadly, they ban rotary :(
not really. the rotaries engine won, since it was the most fuel efficient car in the grid. sure, the mercedes cars broke down, but the jaguar was faster then the mazda. problem is, it used more fuel --> more pit stops --> slower overall time. after that win, they banned the rotary, since they had no clue how to rate them. in racing trim rotaries are actually quite efficent compare to conventional engines. after all it is the only true racing car engine. sadly no one does understand it. it is rubbish for everyday use, but brilliant for racing.
amduser86 japanese know it
What about in 1966, Ford's 1, 2, 3 finish?
Yeah, or Porsche's 1983 finish with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. ??
Tuco Ramirez i remember they did a good poster about that one.
Dom D a 1-2-3 has been done many times, most recently by Audi in 2012 and 2010
cloridan Beauchamps it was 7 years, not 8(1981-1987)
