it used to be "try to survive and you will succed" but now over time machinery is much more reliable and now for example, in GTE PRo some years it was just like a 24h sprint race where EVERY SINGLE STOP, EVERY SINGLE LAP with traffic and stuff added up in a 24h sprint race that was crazy.

I really messed up in 1985 when I was able to get there with my best friend at the time. I drank way too much, and ended up sleeping half of the race away. It cost me a lot of money, but I was on the plane too long, and jet lag gets half the blame. Maybe a lack of my Florida drug of choice at the time had a little something to do with it.

Even with all of these winners 🏆 coming from Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, and many more like Bentley, we can all admit we loved the '66 race where Ken miles won (unofficially)
1979 was such a wild year. Whittington brothers being extremely shady, bringing 250k+ dollars in cash to Le Mans and ends up winning in a lower group Porsche due to the fact that it rained and it was one of the few cars with windshield wipers and a really good driver (Klaus).
@@Quicksilver_Cookie I Don’t think so. And Just check, 44 victory for both France and Great Britain. 🙂 (I speak about victory, not number of victorious drivers.)

Jaguar’s 1955 win was terrible because of the disaster that happened. They got over the trauma after helping make the circuit safer and the car Mike driven was able to win two more years before it was retired from service.

@@jjnich4915 I wouldn't say the DFV was ahead of it's time. It was really what was needed for the new(2 years old when it debut)3-litre formula. The radical thing about it was making the engine a stressed member of the chassis and directly attaching the rear suspension to it. It was the brilliant mind of Colin Chapman who created the modern F-1 car using Cosworth's equally brilliant engine design that is still to a certain degree done today, as a stressed part of the chassis. Not even Ferrari saw that one coming. Actually no one did. And thanks to Ford in sharing the engine with other teams and not letting Lotus have exclusive use of it is what made F-1 so competitive and fun to watch throughout the two decade run of the greatest racing engine ever made.
@@plantfeeder6677 I'd say an engine concept that still gets used after several decades and won in different categories and desired by multiple teams is an engine ahead of its time! Good times.
@@jjnich4915 only if you built your chassis to accept it. The IDEA of the engine as a stressed member of the chassis was the ahead of it's time part. The engine was already being built in 4-cylinder form and dominating F-2 and F-A(in America). Double overhead cam Four Valve engines(DFV) have been around since the 1920s. The reason for it's longevity can be put to lightweight and compact, a great powerband, could be adapted to any monocoque chassis and was resonably priced and reliable with the engine program in Cosworth's hands instead of the car constructors further cutting costs in a spiralingly expensive sport. But most of all, it won races. Indeed Good Times and I'm glad to have witnessed it from the start.
That's only because you watched the Hollywood movie and haven't the faintest clue about any other winner. So what do you have to compare it to? I'd say the Porsche 956/962 were the best ever. You know why? Because Porsche won 7 years straight in the mid 80's against some tough competition. And the 962 won in 1994 again - 12 years after it first raced, when a design rarely will stay competitive for 5 years. Btw the Porsche 917 held the distance record from 1971 to 2010. Yes, it took 39 long years before it was finally improved upon. The 917 was voted the best endurance racing car ever by a team of journalists. The turbo-charged version cleaned up in Can-Am too and remains the most powerful circuit race car ever. Btw, Ferrari won the 1967 World Sportscar Championship, Porsche were second and Ford were 3rd.
@@paulallen8109 Fun fact: I've actually never watched the movie. I like it because I have this little thing called an opinion I'm entitled to. I like the design and the story behind its conception. You shouldn't just randomly assume things before you comment, because like they say: assuming makes an ass out of you and me.
@@dtay8913 It's design was ok and it's story was that a guy was petty and wanted to beat a bankrupt small factory. The GT40 was by no means anything special, it's not as legendary, not as important nor as memorable as the majority of Lemans cars. So sorry, you must be a patriotic american or someone that watched the movie. The car was simply not special nor important

@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo I don't care what people think or say about the jags saubers. The Mazda was a unique and beautiful car looked great and sounded great. The Toyota GT one, Nissan R390 GT1, MAZDA 787B = golden era of le mans. Respect these legends these monster are sleeping now forever. Much missed by racing fans. Nobody talks much about the jags or them light sabers or saubers whatever they call them. If u can't beat it just ban it, that's what they did to the Mazda.
@@zakikbu5188 the Mazda is the worst car to ever win Le Mans, the Nissan was trash, the Toyota literally punctured its rear tyres because of how it was built. You chose some bad cars to worship.
The most spectacular and luckiest car to win Le Mans.
Superb collection from 1930 to 2020
2:41 vibes for fh3 and 4
Thanks for this very useful informations
Amazing review of the race winnings. Didn’t realize Bentley won so much,
Good job
The video is great
Even with all of these winners 🏆 coming from Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, and many more like Bentley, we can all admit we loved the '66 race where Ken miles won (unofficially)
I really like the video.
1991, Mazda, the first year a Japanese automotive destroyed everybody else with the legendary rotary engine!
FISA destroyed everybody else, not the Mazda.
Love the ford winning strategy of randomly joining, kicking ferrari’s ass, then leaving without any comment
1979 was such a wild year. Whittington brothers being extremely shady, bringing 250k+ dollars in cash to Le Mans and ends up winning in a lower group Porsche due to the fact that it rained and it was one of the few cars with windshield wipers and a really good driver (Klaus).
👍
little mistake : the bentley speed 8 picture ins't right, it's a picture of a peugeot 908 HDI but with Bentley paint
basically Germany is the king country of the 24H of LeMans those Porsches and Audis were a thing of awe 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
French still the best country for pilots. 🙂
@@alexandreboyenval3140 UK has more winning drivers than France or Germany ;)
@@Quicksilver_Cookie I Don’t think so. And Just check, 44 victory for both France and Great Britain. 🙂
(I speak about victory, not number of victorious drivers.)
Nice movie !! good working!
In 2003, in the photo, exactly like a Bentley? In my opinion this is Peugeot 908 HDI FAP
Shhhh don't blow its cover! It is a 908 disguised as a Bentley.
@@KammtailCobra Its too late
Up through the early 70s the cars were all so beautiful.
I suggest PD that you can make your next video on world's most powerfull SUV'S
Merci pour ce résumé
6:31これまでに作られた全ての車の中で最も美しいエンジン音を奏でる
I also like remembering the drivers I followed or read about going way back; one advantage of being old is that names like Olivier Gendebien make you go, "oh yeah!!!"
Ford won the le mans in 1966
Ford in 1965: haha gt go brrrrr
May i ask: what's the reason the Porsche 935 from 1979 gets shown but not mentioned in the audio?
Well...porsche Have the most wons in Le Mans, i dont know if has most wins in WEC/WSC/WPC etc etc
Mazda 787B is my all time favourite. Nothing screams like that 4 Rotor...
5:14 Then you skipped the most important one 😭
that was fake victory by criminals hence the skipping part.
Nothing is a bigger flex than McLaren pulling up with their road car and winning
3:50 1966 win drivers Kan Miles!!
By technicality Bruce won because he travelled the furthest
Amazing bro ❤️
Jaguar’s 1955 win was terrible because of the disaster that happened. They got over the trauma after helping make the circuit safer and the car Mike driven was able to win two more years before it was retired from service.
Una gara incredibile,che nn vince solo la macchina e il suo costruttore,ma piloti meccanici ingegneri operai.... super super Vittoria della Ferrari 499p Forza Ferrari
5:28 That was a child's toy sold at RM in Monterey (Briggs and Stratton could win index of performance perhaps?) Otherwise really great. Thanks for posting it!
Yea they also used a few pictures from games too
Amazing video
Amazing how the Porsche 935 and MacLaren F1 could get outright wins over the LMP beasts.
Thank you
0:53 Its a Bentley Speed Six not a Six Speed.
Absolutely fantastic collection
Happy 100th anniversary
Congratulations - such a wonderful program - it is a historical video in all senses - At 7:20 what is this piece of music starting? More of this good source material for any kind of studies - Thank you
4:00 that ford is very known from gran turismo history!!!
@Δημήτρης Βασιλάκος that Ford is very well known from Le Mans History which is why its on the list... SMH 🤦🏼♂️
@@CH-pv2rz You don't get the joke.
Super collection
I can't wait to see what this era of racing has to offer. I hope is good.
@The Legend 27 Returns to UA-cam Bruh
Awesome video man
I love PD
🤗🤗
Спасибо , что дали окунуться в частичку этой истории ле-мана , Том легенда !
And now you can add Ferrari 499P
What a truly amazing engine the Ford-Cosworth DFV was. Not only did it win 155 Grand Prix races in it's incredible run but it also won Lemans twice.
It was definitely ahead of its time. Lovely engine.
@@jjnich4915 I wouldn't say the DFV was ahead of it's time. It was really what was needed for the new(2 years old when it debut)3-litre formula. The radical thing about it was making the engine a stressed member of the chassis and directly attaching the rear suspension to it.
It was the brilliant mind of Colin Chapman who created the modern F-1 car using Cosworth's equally brilliant engine design that is still to a certain degree done today, as a stressed part of the chassis. Not even Ferrari saw that one coming. Actually no one did. And thanks to Ford in sharing the engine with other teams and not letting Lotus have exclusive use of it is what made F-1 so competitive and fun to watch throughout the two decade run of the greatest racing engine ever made.
@@plantfeeder6677 I'd say an engine concept that still gets used after several decades and won in different categories and desired by multiple teams is an engine ahead of its time! Good times.
@@jjnich4915 only if you built your chassis to accept it. The IDEA of the engine as a stressed member of the chassis was the ahead of it's time part. The engine was already being built in 4-cylinder form and dominating F-2 and F-A(in America). Double overhead cam Four Valve engines(DFV) have been around since the 1920s. The reason for it's longevity can be put to lightweight and compact, a great powerband, could be adapted to any monocoque chassis and was resonably priced and reliable with the engine program in Cosworth's hands instead of the car constructors further cutting costs in a spiralingly expensive sport. But most of all, it won races.
Indeed Good Times and I'm glad to have witnessed it from the start.
Can't wait to see what LMH is going to be! LMP1 era was really exceptional.
Nice information
7:24 bro this car should've been in gt sport
the commentator didnt mention the Porsche 935 K3 from 1979 :(
Nice video anyway! Thank you!
The Ford GT is King imo
That's only because you watched the Hollywood movie and haven't the faintest clue about any other winner. So what do you have to compare it to? I'd say the Porsche 956/962 were the best ever. You know why? Because Porsche won 7 years straight in the mid 80's against some tough competition. And the 962 won in 1994 again - 12 years after it first raced, when a design rarely will stay competitive for 5 years.
Btw the Porsche 917 held the distance record from 1971 to 2010. Yes, it took 39 long years before it was finally improved upon. The 917 was voted the best endurance racing car ever by a team of journalists. The turbo-charged version cleaned up in Can-Am too and remains the most powerful circuit race car ever.
Btw, Ferrari won the 1967 World Sportscar Championship, Porsche were second and Ford were 3rd.
@@paulallen8109 Fun fact: I've actually never watched the movie. I like it because I have this little thing called an opinion I'm entitled to. I like the design and the story behind its conception. You shouldn't just randomly assume things before you comment, because like they say: assuming makes an ass out of you and me.
@@dtay8913 It's design was ok and it's story was that a guy was petty and wanted to beat a bankrupt small factory.
The GT40 was by no means anything special, it's not as legendary, not as important nor as memorable as the majority of Lemans cars.
So sorry, you must be a patriotic american or someone that watched the movie.
The car was simply not special nor important
@@dtay8913 TL:DR it isn't king in any aspect and your "opinion" is wrong
@@boltmix7294 im on t days side because i think it looks the coolest, expecially the 68 oarange and blue car
The audi r8 looks cool too
Loved the video but just wanted to say that’s not a picture of the Bentley speed 8, that’s the Peugeot 908 in a Bentley livery on gran turismo 😅
