People just don’t know. Heck an IMSA 300zx did well at Le Mans vs group C cars.

@@andyeighttre Damn it did perform excellent. In the 1994 24 Hours Of Le Mans the Nissan 300ZX made 5th place and was the ninth fastest qualifier! That's very impressive considering it's competition.

Agreed great cars. Interesting The next year The MAZDA 787B 4 rotor would win Le-Mans When do you see a Ferrari F-40 Racing. Whenever I see the Nissan Color Racing Z I think of Paul Newman

Man I'm loving these commercials thanks for leaving them in 😆

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I love watching these old IMSA races. This is back when I was in my prime. I used to travel all over the country to watch the GTP and GTO series racing. Congrats, Mazda. ZOOM-ZOOM. /points left. Original owner here.

What a bunch of absolutely fantastic cars.

The cars and the commercials are so nostalgic. Great example of how things have changed so much. Kinda similar to how people try to compare Lebron to Jordan in the NBA. You can't, the rules, training, vitamins and nutrients for health and focus, all that stuff was way different than compared to today. So amazing to see how much things cost as well back then. Shows how much more limits we dealt with and the lack of safety compared to today as well. Love the F40 but it doesn't compare to today's Ferrari's ;).

Halsmer and that Rx7 is a freaking beast! I love 7s. Which is why/ how i found this video. What a great find! And some of these commercials are just pure nostalgia. Gas powered tools daaamn 😆

Holy crap I was at this race! Watched it with my Dad and his friend, I was five.

Man I’m glad this was posted. I’m here to see that F40 LM get slapped around the track. It sucks that this car was used very little because it had lots of potential.

This video is glorious! Thanks for posting! As an rx-7 guy, it's cool to see the rotary engine play to it's strengths and succeed. I wish there was a documentary about this series.

Love IMSA, Mid-Ohio, and Marshall Pruett, but here for the 1990 commercials.

Thank you for this Marshall This is Fantastic!

You're a legend for uploading this.

I miss these cars so much. Loved those RX-7s.

11:50 the porsche 😢 I absolutely love those.

Great upload! Thanks!

I was there, and when the F40 made the pass on the Nissan, it looked like it came from a mile back. I was watching from the side of the back straight. What a incredible move. Jean-Pierre Jabouille was awesome, and a great guy to meet. This was the only F40 to run Mid-Ohio. Thanks Marshall, my childhood returned.

I love it when a little rotor gets in the mix against the big boys.. great class of racing.

great upload here :) also that commercial at 11:39 I remember seeing that on an Oddity Archive episode.

Love these cars

I diddnt realize the Nissan 300zx was in the same class as the F40 (I love my Z32)

That guys mullet in the Ryobi ad 🤌🏻

So awesome.

Worth watching for the commerical nostalgia alone.

I own the Row 16 $39A Delvecchio/Thompson Beretta today in N. CA

Who would dislike this awesome race?

BTW, are you going to post more of these rare gems?

Great race... great commercials lol 90s 💪

Bro look at the pace car are you kidding me. This is sick.

Robby Gobby, Rordon Gordon.

It would have been amazing to be at this race. To hear a Mazda 4 rotor rip by followed by the roar or the Ferrari F40. Ear orgasims

Bro I want me some of those Tripleedge Wiper Blades

I was at this race and Robby Gordon was MAJIC! Bob Varsha's comment's where clueless then, during his time doing F1 and even now!

this is what the Mazda driver thought when he started gapping that Ferrari: IM FAST AS FUCK BOY

7:46 Robby Gordon doing what he does best !

The evolution of Godzilla

Who televised this? Looks like TBS, but I just want to make sure....

Where can I buy Triple Edge windshield (windscreen in the UK) wiper blades??

I was at this race.

Has anyone tried triple edge wipers? I googled them and their still around for sale lol.

This video was "Tahp Naaahtch"

I remember the Camel girls passing out cigarettes to anyone and everyone at Lime Rock.

gotta check me out one of these solo flex machines :)

Can I still get me one of those Ryobi saws???? Good price!

awd vs rwd comes down to an unfair advantage with the ability to put power down more effectually. Thats is why the car was banned. If it was rwd like the rest it wouldn't have dominated like it did

American made car drivers have always been sore loosers ,almost only imports were winning at the time ,they don't like it..(they hated the Audi quattro era) and that F4O GT team did a great race for a first one on this track.
