Thank you so much for posting this video. Amazing, awesome, fantastic, terrific!!! I was just a kid back in '77, but was already a fan of Le Mans, playing with Le Mans toy cars, etc. I've seen videos, but this is breathtaking, considering the age. Did you notice that the cars being lapped usually keep to their racing line, and I can't see the driver of the 936 complaining...unlike today's spoint F1 drivers!
back in the days when racing cars were real racing cars, no computers onboard, just man and machine, an era lost forever that our kids will never experience, that speed scares me,he is an amazing driver,no doubt.
Thanks for putting this up - lovely wiggle on the exit of Arnage. The closing speed to the 911s looks scary - especially the two overtaking eachother on the approach to Indianapolis. I have took my midget round the Circuit on a parade lap and it seemed really narrow in places. Now the cars are even wider there can't be much room for three abreast if needed.
So it was.This noise recalls me of my 911/S and brings me back of years...of no speed limits times! 936 had basically a stock aircooled turbo 911 engine extr.uptuned and the"family sound "was clearly still there!
My favorite version of the Circuit de la Sarthe in terms of layout. Before the Dunlop curve, Tertre Rouge and Mulsanne corner were altered and chicanes installed on the exit of Dunlop curve and on Mulsanne straight, but after the Porsche curves were added. In terms of safety though, let's just say it was lacking...
Vive le Mans ! The old circuit was ridicoulously fast. I have a friend that told me that the hardest thing with those long straits is not to fall asleep !
@samiurrahmanshah In F1, I'm pretty sure they have launch control, plus they have that overtaking feature where they push a button on the steering wheel that gives the engine a bit more power and lowers the rear wing to creat less downforce. (i may be wrong about the launch control)
It's the german driver Jurgen Barth as mentioned in the video description commenting on his own lap. The last sentence spoken by a commentator is also in german. Greetings from Germany ;)
@terminator363GAMES The two chicanes at Hunaudieres were not the only changes, Maison Blanche and Porsche curves, Ford Chicane, and the section from Dunlop to the esses have changed too since 1967 and before ´32 the north of the track had a totally different layout.
Think you might find the 2.1 litre 936 here was based on the even older 908 chassis. These vehicles last one at Le Mans 1981 with a 2.65 litre (Updated from a shelved Indianapolis Project) engine.
@bere5de The 917 LH (langheck) was clocked doing 390km/h on LeMans in 1971. That one had a 650hp 4,9 litre flat 12 The Can-Am 917-30 had a turbo-charged engine and 1100hp in racetrim in 1973. For qualifying it reportedly had 1500hp. Unofficial reports claim that the 917-30 reached 409km/h in Le Castellet (Paul Ricard) in 1975.
@xrayracer1 I can't be too sure about launch control, the way rules are evolving, it's hard to follow. I do remember that they had a type of anti-stall control, which disengaged the clutch whenever the ECU sensed the engine was about to stall. As for these LMPs, I think the only electronic aids are the traction / launch control, oh and pit lane speed limiters. They all work by modulating engine power.
@samiurrahmanshah pit lane speed limiters are ok, here in australia the V8 supercar series, they have speed limiters for in the pit lanes, but i'm pretty sure they have no electronic driving aids. ( one thing is for sure, it will be interesting if the F1 cars switch to turboed 4cyl engines)
A lower quality version of this is on Porsche's official UA-cam channel. Why they don't have anything of the even more successful 917, 962, or even the 956 is beyond me.
What I found almost frightening was the closing speeds with the 911s down the Mulsanne. They might have been doing 160mph+ and he went past them liking they were doing half that
How fast did they go on the Mulsane straight then? I know the Group C cars in the 80s were doing over 250 mph!!! But I love this shot of how long the Mulsane was without the chicanes!
It's scary. You're getting bored and your alertness getting weak. Then you see Mulsanne too late and... BOOM! „Mulsanne” is the last corner on „Les Hunaudières” (wrong named „Mulsanne straight”).
@bere5de You're quite right, but really it does depend on the nature of the track. (The Porsche would have a much higher top speed, but the 21st Century F1 car would be far more agile.) Got to remember that tyre technology has improved quite a bit since 1971 (Porsche 917/30 era), and tyres can be worth many seconds per lap than horsepower and aerodynamics alone.
936 in long term engine trim had a 500/550 bhp output - no more - in practise trim they could obv.uptune the turbo engine but these were long term races= equally they had to choose an average aerod. downforce/speed ratio so to have performance on the straight and a still good cornering without excessively stressing the drivers in a 24 hours race= Still impressing 30 years later!
The 936 had a top speed of 217 MPH. And the way the lap was filmed (large POV crammed into a small one) which makes the viewsomewhat faster, only adds to the effect that it's at top speed on the Mulsanne. The 917 raced at the beginning of the '70s, so it can't be a 917.
They also brought in a rule that meant any FIA sanctioned event, the straight couldn't be more than something like 1.4 km long, not sure exactly how long it is though.
Shame, I was looking to go there this year. Btw, I think few people watch the race throughout. 1989 was the last year without the chicanes on the Mulsanne straight. Which meant the cars approached 400km/h. Pretty impressive considering it was almost a quarter of a century ago. Wish I had a time machine.
Yes that's right- but only just! The car was driven carefully to win the race by expert driver/mechanic Barth for the last 2 laps on 5 cylinders. Does anybody know who's narrating this clip? I guess that's Ickx driving...the blue helmut...
When you’re passing RSR’s like they’re standing still you know you’re moving quickly.
Outstanding thanks
ikr? and its the 70s, one wrong move, ur gone
It's so cute the way the Porsches stick to the "slow lane". Gotta love the snap oversteer and dabs of opposite lock. Nice rhythm.

This car now owned by Dave Morse in CA. It won overall in 1977 driven by Jackie Ixxs and Mass I believe. 1 of 4 cars built.
Classic stuff - I wanted to go to Le Mans since I was a kid in the 70s, finally made it to Le Mans in 2005

Passing Carreras like they were parked. Absolute animal.
My all-time favorite onboard...old LeMans.
One of the absolute best videos on you tube....
Wow,thats fast,listen to that sound!I collect all these models, the history and reminder of the sport.
So it was.This noise recalls me of my 911/S and brings me back of years...of no speed limits times!
936 had basically a stock aircooled turbo 911 engine extr.uptuned and the"family sound "was clearly still there!
@alphenchick Absolutely...and to keep 911s/930s that are going all out moving aside to let you go by at almost twice their speed, is pretty amazing.

What an amazing track the good old Le Mans!
Vive le Mans !

It's almost unbelievable how brave drivers were in the days before carbon safety cells etc

Greetings from Germany ;)
Nice, love the 936 - great car...
That's awesome!! I'd like to see Porsches again kicking some ass at LeMans!!
what a beautiful sound

some serious skills involved in this
I enjoy this hot lap a little too much!What a sweet engine sound. Martini and Rossi...yeah.
@poralentierno He was passing Porsche 911 Carrera RSRs. Basically 800-900 HP 936 vs. 300-400 HP 911 RSRs.
@GTXMAN
Yes, I am.
The Porsche 936 only had up to 620hp, but there were cars with over 1000hp (Porsche 917 for example) and top speeds up to 400 km/h
Mega. Brilliant, Fantastic. Three words that suit the video.
Listen to that engine, music to my ears!
God i love these porsche racing engines from the old days
How do you dislike this video ?
acelerate video... no it's original

absolute classic
@JUMPMAN23MCM He has passed also 934 RSR (~480 hp) and 935 turbo (~560-590hp) Porsches, while the lightweight 936 has "only" 540hp.
The great Jurgen Barth, Porsche legend tested every car from the 917 on-wards as well
And they did this at night to. Absolutely amazing!
The Mulsanne straight without chicanes they reached speeds over 400 km/h (250 mph). The chicanes were built in 1990.
I love the sound of this Porsche 936 and to see the differences in the 1977 track and now.Just to tell u im a ferrari guy
Jürgen Barth!... A living legend!
The LMP1 cars would be doing around 220-230. Group C cars were hitting nearly 250 in the late 1980s.
He is Johann Mass (if I spell it right). I still have the 8mm film(!)
The speed going down the Mulsanne is just epic.
Fun fact: modern cars are just as fast and they have to take the extra chicanes
Beautiful.
2:42 = amazing control. And balls.
All cars for the people !
@BaronBoy100 He actually mentions this himself in the video: "Oh, das war etwas weit..."="Oh, I am running a little wide..." at 2:44.
A lower quality version of this is on Porsche's official UA-cam channel. Why they don't have anything of the even more successful 917, 962, or even the 956 is beyond me.
jürgen barth won the race in 1977 with the porsche936 and when you see the clip you understand why !!! great driver
One minute and ten seconds at full throttle, God bless auto racing.

the monster of all cockpit open cars of porsche.
verry good video!! i like that car!
What a ride.WOOOOHOOOOO.
The Mulsanne w/o chicanes is almost boring because of its length. This is amazing footage.
Until you're the one behind the wheel that is...
It's scary. You're getting bored and your alertness getting weak. Then you see Mulsanne too late and... BOOM!
„Mulsanne” is the last corner on „Les Hunaudières” (wrong named „Mulsanne straight”).
amazing how fast these trees fly by.

Awesome dudes...Thanks. .
it looks like the video in the museum by main entrance of the track
very impressive how fast he overtakes the "normal" Porsches which actually are very fast too
wow very good quality

Still impressing 30 years later!
when were the two chicanes that broke up the muslan straight added?
Agreed. They need to enter the LM-P1 class (or whatever it'll be called next)
Old Hunaudières = 6 km or 3,7 miles...
Best Track of the world with the Nordschleife, but Le Mans' legend is still alive.
need for the speeeeeed...dammn..incredible..
Very awesome!
Awe inspiring video,thanks for posting.
A lap of that track in the rain or nightime or both?
No thanks!
like it was yesterday, awesome
at 0:48 he's breaking the sound barrier? hehehehehehe
I miss the old Le Mans circuit without the chincanes on the big straight...
GREAT VIDEO!
The 936 had a top speed of 217 MPH. And the way the lap was filmed (large POV crammed into a small one) which makes the viewsomewhat faster, only adds to the effect that it's at top speed on the Mulsanne.
The 917 raced at the beginning of the '70s, so it can't be a 917.
Amazing. Mulsanne straight without chicane !
to me these were the real race cars! no traction control, no abs, no stability control, no bullshit!!!
reliquia esse
Anybody know what year they added the chicanes to the Mulsanne straight and why?
@ :50, thats a nice straight line to do a little big of race! ;)
Great! Classic race car.
Martini!
@xrayracer1 Actually, in modern racers, I think there's only traction control that's allowed.
Steht doch alles in der Beschreibung! ;)
btw. klasse Video!
sehr geiles video!
super Video !
They also brought in a rule that meant any FIA sanctioned event, the straight couldn't be more than something like 1.4 km long, not sure exactly how long it is though.
recorded on film man pure retro
Shame, I was looking to go there this year.
Btw, I think few people watch the race throughout.
1989 was the last year without the chicanes on the Mulsanne straight. Which meant the cars approached 400km/h. Pretty impressive considering it was almost a quarter of a century ago. Wish I had a time machine.
@adyolive Bring it back.No chicane at mulsanne,FANTASTIC.
between the 1989 and the 1990 race if im not mistaken.
Weren't some of these cars capable of 230+mph on Mullsanne(sic) before the chicanes were put in?
thats why i watch GT500! JGTC fr life!
1. Source please for that 390 km/h 2. 917-30 never raced at Le Mans.
Yes that's right- but only just! The car was driven carefully to win the race by expert driver/mechanic Barth for the last 2 laps on 5 cylinders. Does anybody know who's narrating this clip? I guess that's Ickx driving...the blue helmut...
