The 2016 historics was all about BMW, so they were included in more races. An awesome benefit of that was parade laps by the BMW engine'd McLaren F1 GTR .
Same difference lol :)...Purist will gripe about it but they were almost identical. Main difference being the 787 had wider air intakes on the nose and the flat face front wheels.
just an fyi... This is not a 787 its a 767 it does NOT have a 26b it has a 13j which only put out 600hp while the 787 26b put out more than 700hp. So please stop complaining about how the car is driven if you cant tell the difference between the two.
I think that is whats most interesting and intriguing about some of these cars, I’d say some of those engineers, mechanics and even drivers were as close as we’ll get too mad scientists and some of us got to witness their creations in real time
pixelgaming460 they have that car stowed away in Germany. They pulled it out of the garage for the 100 year event but they like to keep it there for some reason
That GT-O RX-7 battling that Ford was awesome! It's like I'm actually watching an old race from the 1990s and seeing and hearing the Wankel rotaries scream again is making me want them to race in today's IMSA series, like back in the day
They ended with the wrong music - instead of an acoustic guitar, it should have been all synth music. Regardless, GODDAMN those IMSA GTO cars are the fucking best!
They are considered "historic" cars. You just can't go out and replace these older race cars. They are one of a kind. Rare.. You crash one, it's over. Forget the newer BMW. That's another story.

we need way more of this kind of vintage racing
Could someone explain the #56 BMW M3, it appears to be a late ,model. why is it running?
the sound of that 4 rotor
I was there and was very disappointed the 767b didn't Rev it out! The RX7 was louder!
That 962 Porsche however was driving that thing hard!
Yeah, canepa is a damn good driver, I think the 767b driver was probably (understandably) frightened to push it all the way
"1981-1991"
Yet there's an E36, an E46, and an E92 🤔

Love the rotary power!
Fuck the 767, that RX-7 is just dancing! Can't believe how competitive the rotors still are to this day.
I love the BMW E46 M3 GTR
It's like Gran Turismo in real life...
Mostly because it is gran turismo, right ? :P
i'm pretty sure that the Mazda 767b was the prettiest car on the track.
I'm pretty sure it's the best looking racecar ever.
couldnot agree more . they sound badass
3:30 BMW M3 GTR that everyone knows from Need for speed
Love the 787B
its a 767 not 787
+Samaia1992
Its 767, no 787
I thought it was a 787b at first.
Same difference lol :)...Purist will gripe about it but they were almost identical. Main difference being the 787 had wider air intakes on the nose and the flat face front wheels.
what about the telescoping fuel injection?
Just watched the video for the Mazdas, it's amazing that they are still racing them, beautiful machines!
So many of my favorite race cars, all in one video.
i always forget the E46 and E9X come from the 1981-1991 era. this take me way back!
16:18 That War!!!
thanks guys this is awesome love stepping back into the past
My diecast car collection come to life
just an fyi... This is not a 787 its a 767 it does NOT have a 26b it has a 13j which only put out 600hp while the 787 26b put out more than 700hp. So please stop complaining about how the car is driven if you cant tell the difference between the two.
it put out up to 850-900 in full form (787)
Joseph Elias yeah like i said more than 700hp but the horse power was capped at 700 to ensure it would be able to run the endurance races.
Samaia1992
Precisely
IMSA cars are beautiful
Best moment starts at 15:25 - RX-7 vs Mustang. Great driving from both of them!
I think that is whats most interesting and intriguing about some of these cars, I’d say some of those engineers, mechanics and even drivers were as close as we’ll get too mad scientists and some of us got to witness their creations in real time
I knew it. I watched this literally about a month ago, it was just 2 long videos. thanks Motor Trend for the replay of the replay of Monterey :/
Awesome to see the BMW M3 GTR, also why did the german 42 M3 GTR not compete?
pixelgaming460 they have that car stowed away in Germany. They pulled it out of the garage for the 100 year event but they like to keep it there for some reason
A Porsche 962 in Rothmans livery was my first plastic model car some 20 years ago. The memories.
The 3 rotary cars satisfied me.
Thanks for these awesome videos!
Those Fox Body racecars and that Celica just have a look to them that...I dunno, it just does it for me. Love the racing action, all in all.
Awesome, shame about the Eagle messing up.
Lovely Racecars - Thumps Up :D
That E46 M3 GTR tho.....
I saw the 787b on the thumbnail and clicked before I even read the title.
great video!

AWESOME! But I did miss the Audis in there =(
coolest cars ever
anyone have the full list of cars that were in this race? trying to find out if the fiero GTU car was there
Good race
What is that M3 doing out there,that model is after 2000.
Brap brap , love it!
If I don't see an Audi 90 IMSA GTO I'm fucking done
What a rip-off... no Audi...
wait... adam corolla? hes a comedian
Hoping iRacing adds some of these fine vehicles to go with the recently released Audi 90
26B
are Group C cars the thing as Camel light race cars
They ended with the wrong music - instead of an acoustic guitar, it should have been all synth music. Regardless, GODDAMN those IMSA GTO cars are the fucking best!
Are they allowed to push the Mazda 767b 100%?
What is the e46 BMW doing in there?
Wish I knew more about this stuff because the comment section is overwhelming
You can hear that F1 almost the whole time lol
I only saw a glimpse of it once and the results say that Auberlen had 0 laps.
Oh wait it's listed as J. Bell too but only has 4 laps on that one.
Yeah I'm not sure what happened to it. But you sure can hear it throughout the video.
Love the coverage, just don't like the way the commentators use "sure" makes it seem like they don't believe what the other commentators are saying.
I've never seen such fast cars be driven so slowly. Why the hell is the 792B and 787B behind an M3 and a Celica? Jesus sell them to me!
true
They are considered "historic" cars. You just can't go out and replace these older race cars. They are one of a kind. Rare.. You crash one, it's over.
Forget the newer BMW. That's another story.
you have to remember these are timeless, legendary cars. the guys are trying as hard to not crash them meanwhile pushing them a bit.
Probably afraid to wreck them.
I mean I wouldn't go full throttle but maybe just a little faster
Why's there much newer bmws than 91. The E92 is about 13 years too new.
Oh god the 787B is getting lapped! Who the hell is driving it? James May?
its a 767B NOT!! the 787B
It's a historic car, (7767 btw not 787) Crash and it's all over.
I was at the event and asked the driver the same question. he said the car was not behaving and kept under steering so he didn't push it.
shoot, what did i pay $80 bucks to see this in person for when i could have just watched it on here with commentary
You sir are an idiot.
+NismoGs +1
motor trend just spam my time line, with historic race cars? i ain't even mad
how come that modern bmw is in the race?
the 767B..... better than sex
Yuss
why only 50 comments
Why does that bmw have an American flag on it...
still no toyota 88c
Isn't that BMW too new?
2001 car and it competed in GT Class.
gran turismo 2
what means the blue flag?
it means give the way for faster car behind
wow
80
gran turismo 😂😂
so hot!
first
