The commentary was inaccurate though. If memory serves, at the time of the 92 Porsche incident, one of the corvettes was at the back of the field and the other was in 2nd as it had its own issues. Also, the Toyota REALLY lost time because they went into the pits, not just because of an on track stop. there was also a TON of other highlights like Fassbender's incident, the flurry of incidents during the morning, etc.

Respect to the gentleman driver for apologizing to Corvette Racing. Utter heartbreak, but that is Le Mans.

I was at Le Mans this weekend and the corvette was the loudest car, the sound of this car is phenomenal. Congratulations to all the drivers, especially Toyota and Jota Sport

2023 Le Mans is going to be EPIC af !

So much love for the fans mentioned by the commentators and announcers this year after a few without them. Some groups love to do it as a yearly trip like my dad and his old work friends who have done it since the late 80s and I also joined them this year with lots of "man, we've missed this" vibes.

Although a fast machines fan, I'm not a big race fan. But I can easily say that THIS race tops them all as my favorite in the car/pavement category. Same goes for the TT on motorcycle/pavement. The cars for this event have always been the most beautiful of all race cars to me.

Brilliant highlights 👏 great job WEC

Nice to see the winning drivers still maintaining the tradition of spraying Champaign, as it was started back in the 1967 race with Dan Gurney in the winning Ford GT40 Mk IV; along with iron-man co-driver AJ Foyt, as he had to do back-to-back driving stints, over four hours worth, of driving at night; with a stick shift no less; as Gurney had overslept.

Great video! Thx!

I've been out of the loop with endurance racing for decades, where I noticed the cars are now left-hand driver position. It used to be the driver's position on the right so it meant a shorter distance between driver and the pit wall; saved seconds for the driver changes; along with making it safer for the driver exchange with not being exposed to other passing vehicles along pit lane.

@erdbeerenrex

2 жыл бұрын

Interesting take on this. How far back have you been watching endurance racing? I guess the distance between the driver and pitwall doesn't matter that much these days as the time taken for drivers to switch themselves is often shorter than a full pitstop including tires and fuel.

Most circuits are clockwise, including le sarthe, and a rhd car gives better visibility for the right hand side in order to more accurately place the car at the apex. That's the theory anyway. I always think being on the left would mean you can have less fatigue from lateral g-force, as your corners are a slightly bigger radius. Best position has to surely be neutral, right in the middle, laterally and longitudinally.

@bloqk16

2 жыл бұрын

@@Tom_Hadler While I was out on an exercise walk, it struck me as one plausible reason the older race cars were right-hand drive: _Weight bias._ Back when suspensions were primitive, by current standards, putting the weight of the vehicle where it would be on the inside of a turn helped reduce the lateral g-force of the vehicle wanting to move left. In the US, with the left-hand turns circuits, especially at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the race car chassis would be biased towards the left. The 1965 Lotus 38 Indy car is an exaggerated example of a race chassis with a left bias, as the suspension pieces were of unequal lengths.

Fantastic highlight video, hope this is the same next year :)
