Nice switchback by the 963 at the end. The hybrid power and a shorter gearing helped a lot too.

Fun fact: The Porsche 962 never even got close to the 3:01 in Le Mans, even at a time when there weren't any chicanes in the Mulsanne Straight or even the Dunlop Chicane. It only ever got to the 3:15's. For comparison, the 963's time with the chicanes was in the 3:24 range.

Nope, they never got over 380 ish kph (240 mph) eventhough MAYBE in ideal conditions it could go faster. Also it was the C11, not the C9. And also they did not put turbo pressure too high coz it would damage the engine beyond qualifications. Finally if you think group C were monsters (and yes they were) they were kind of docile. True monsters were CanAm prototypes or end Group C GTP / IMSA cars. The only prototype that truly went over 400 kmh on Mulsanne straight was the WM P88. Guess what happened to the car ? Failed and gave up after a few laps

When Mazda Jaguar or sauber catch up with race wins over Porsche come back ... Smh

The 962's high straight line speed takes back almost all of the margin gained by the 963's strong downforce effect in the corner sections and the motor assist that works from low speeds.

The 962 was lethal down the straight but it was a lumbering brute in the corners. The 963 is more refined. That's why it wasnt sweating because the technical part of the track was where it made the gap up

Love this comparisons of cornering vs power

That has to be one of the most visceral experiences in simracing!

Fantastic demonstration of the attributes of the two cars. The 962 is an absolute monster down the Mulsanne. The 963's superior aerodynamics and downforce meant it was glorious through the Porsche Curves.

Would be interesting to see if the 963 had the proper gearing for the full Mulsane.

The Nissan R92 CP would ve been even more impressive i bet.

Looking at the fact that the 962 has a way better power to weight ratio, the main differences come down to aerodynamic efficiency (downforce/drag), tyres (I'd like to believe they are period correct), torque curve and the gearbox.

Look how small and cute the 962 is. Similar as to when you compared old snd new F1 cars. Thanks bud.

That's a close one!

This also shows that power to weight is far from everything

Porsche 962's in their last participations in Le Mans reached 370 km/h (1988), always with the "long tail" version, like this one in the video, but with the advertising of "Shell", the contract with "Rothmans" had ended.

How did you manage to reach 390kph in the 962 on Assetto Corsa? Normally, it tops out at 360 on straight line.

Downforce vs. Drag.

Pretty cool

To be fair, in a time attack without slipstream the 963 would have destroyed the 962. A good race and an interesting comparison either way!

I hated the 963 when I first saw it but it's really grown on me the more I've seen it. Caddy's still best sound and the Peugeot 9x8 best looking but the Porsche is great middle ground.

On the track from '85, without chicanes, I think the 962 could lap a second or 2 faster. That's on an empty track, in ideal dry conditions. Now add 30 ~ 50 other cars, of various classes. Add fog and intermittent rain at 2am. Add safety cars and pit-stops and mismanaged strategies. Throw some real world random 'noise' into the equation, and I think the modern car still has a pretty large advantage. Put the chicanes back, and it's game over. No contest ~ not even close. "Which one is the more beautiful car" is an entirely different question ~

@Starfire_Storm

Given the 962 in 1985 actually lapped in the 3:15's in qualifying and nowhere near close the 3:01 the video suggests, the 963 would still win, given it lapped Le Mans in 2023 in the 3:24's. I think 9 seconds is more than easy to erase without the chicanes on the Mulsanne or the Dunlop chicane.

The 963 would have won with a bigger margin, hadn't it been sandbagged at the end.

@@lancemurdoc6744 No, braking capability is directly related to downforce and the cars ability to directly translate it to the road. Yes, weight is going to be a factor but 40 years of aero, tyre and suspension development combined with carbon brakes over the old steel brakes means the modern LMH/Dh cars will vastly outperform the old Group C cars in performance just about everywhere (top speed comparison is largely irrelevant, no track in the WEC or IMSA has a 3.5 mile straight that you need really long gearing for). Also no, the 956/962 did not reach 400kph, the speed record at Le Mans is 405kph set by a WR Peugeot in 1988 with the boost turned right up and the cooling ducts blocked off (the engine blew at Indianapolis on the same lap but it was already on it's way out so the team thought sod it, lets go for it). Fastest speed achieved I've seen listed for a 962 is 375, which is still really fast.

It's physically impossible that a 650hp car could hit about 390km/h... not to mention that "your" 962 has unrealistic way higher cornering speed... no group C cars has ever clocked 3:01... and back to those year la sarthe track was even faster than now since, lack of the chicanes aside, between dunlop bridge and tetre rouge there was a long straight instead of mid-fast speed corners like today
