Le Mans 88 Mulsanne

Back in the days when the Mulsanne straight was straight,you could watch from beside the bar.It got a lot more crowded later in the day.The electronic signature of some of the cars seems to have been every bit as loud as their sound to judge from the way the videocamera of the day throws a wobbly when they pass.At 0:52 a car passes,14 seconds later you can still hear it when(@ 230mph)the car is 0.9 of a mile away.But as the sound takes 4 seconds to reach the camera from that distance, the car was only 0.64 of amile away when it went out of ear shot.(very roughly). • Le Mans 88 Mulsanne

    This video was filmed from the garden of Maurice Genissel’s restaurant "Chez Genissel", on the famous straight line of the hunaudières. My family used to have lunch on the Saturday of the race in the privatized room of "Les Tilleuls" 10 meters from the national road. I remember seeing cars over 370 kkm/h on bales of straw 10 metres from the track. That was absolutly crazy. The noise of the cars was absolute violence Thank you for this video

    I must have watched this at least a hundred times. One of the best Le Mans videos out there, back when the Mulsanne was still properly straight. My favorite part has to be at 4:22 - works 962C, chased by one of the Jag V12s, followed closely by a Mazda 767 and yet another Jag. All the variety that made 1980s endurance racing so special, concentrated into 30 seconds. Absolutely magnificent!

    TheThirdMan An unpopular opinion among viewers of this particular video, I would hazard to guess. Personally, my response is this: regardless of what can be specifically assessed as “better racing” (even though I may agree with you), there’s a certain romance associated with the old configuration. In much the same way contemporary prototypes are “better” racing cars, there’s a romance and appreciation for what came before. Arguing that things are “better” now, often feels irrelevant to those who feel nostalgic for the past. Despite being empirically and/or logically correct, I’d expect you’d be met with responses like, “yeah, but I don’t care”.

    @@happy_camper I can't argue with the romantic aspect you highlighted. But from what I have read, the vast majority of drivers were never very keen on it. It the Book "From Brands Hatch to Indianapolis" (ed. Tommaso Tommasi, 1974), François Cevert referred to it in somewhat contradictory terms as "the big bore" and "quite dangerous". While the terms might have been contradictory, the sentiment wasn't. In the end, it was pressure from the drivers, led by no less than Jean-Louis Schlesser, which led to the demise of the old straight. They'd had enough. The biggest problem was always the speed differential. Even Cevert pointed out that negotiating slower cars was like "weaving through a mobile chicane" and he was particularly concerned about how that played out at night. There had been two recent fatalities on the Mulsanne prior to the 1990 race: a collision between two Aston Martin Nimrods in 1984 killed a marshal. Then there was the possibility of high speed mechanical failure which claimed the life of Jo Gartner in a Porsche 962 in 1986. As for its contribution to racing itself, there are very few places along the straight which are available to spectators anyway. So in the end, all you get is numbers, somewhat nebulous and inevitably exaggerated on places like KZread. Again, I won't argue the romantic angle but I think a lot of people take it far too seriously.They seem to think that 330-350 km/h isn't fast enough. They seem to think that it takes greater bravery to drive at 400 km/h and that people doing 340 are somehow lesser racers for it. People question my sexuality for daring to question it. That doesn't bother me particularly but it gives you some idea how childish and far removed it is from reality. JMHO.

    I went to the 1972 race when I was only 17. I’ll never forget the sound of those cars building in the distance before you could even see them. Around 11pm, we walked halfway down the Mulsanne straight. There’s a house there and there was a party going on. We joined the party and asked them what they were celebrating. ‘Matra-Simca victory tomorrow!’ And you know, they were right! I’ve loved motorsport ever since and introduced ‘that sound’ to my sons when they were young. We used to go to Silverstone a lot for the sports cars, and cycle around the circuit on Saturday evenings, stopping at the pits and chatting to the mechanics. Wonderful inclusive sport, and very happy days.

    When the top speeds on the straight reached the magic nimbers of 400kmh / 250mph the governing body forced the organisers to take action.The 2 chicanes effectively split the straight in 3.The car designers were forced to abandon high speed aerodynamics for high downforce,slowing the cars even more.

    Not strictly true. The straight was truncated because the drivers, led by no less than Jean Louis Schlesser, wanted it changed. The long straight contributed nothing to the actual racing and even when split into three sections, still produced speeds in excess of 330 km/h. One of the legendary Nissans actually hit 366. So, in fact, the only difference was a number...But if 330 km/h isn’t fast enough for you, you might remember that even during the mid-late 1980s, that wasn’t exactly slow. In fact, the Nissan was faster on the truncated straight than say, a Porsche 917 ever was.

    TheThirdMan well all I was saying was in the 80s cars were speeding down the straight at almost 400kmh but now the cars are more focused on aero and only go about 330 to 340kmh because of hybrid. So I think these cars might be more focused on the speed cause of the long straight and they might even be going close to 500 if they were focused on top speed still if that makes any sense. Then again this is just a hypothetical situation so it’s hard to say if they would still be focused on speed or on aero and downforce.

    You'd need about 1,500 hp to do that sort of speed and I doubt it would do anything for the racing. What also needs to be considered is the benefit to lap times. On the surface, you'd think it would make lap times faster. But there's the rest of the lap to be considered. There are lots of third and fourth gear sections which are critical to a good lap time. But if you're doing 200 km/h through those sections, how are you going to gear for 500 on the straight? The spread is just too big. The next thing to consider is something most people give not thought to - the drivers. They made it clear 30 years ago that they didn't want to be travelling at those speeds. That's why chicanes were introduced. The FIA rule came later. One of the biggest issues is the speed differential between the classes. A car doing 250 km/h is traveling pretty fast but to have another go past at double that speed leaves no room for error.

    Late reply here, but they measured the GTP cars via trackside decibel meters. There's a story about James Weaver in a Dyson Porsche 962 which cracked its muffler and was going to be DQ'd because of excessive noise, so knowing where the little meter was he just went a bit off line and destroyed the device with his car :). I think that was at Del Mar...

    The closest I’ve experienced to this was at Daytona for the 500 from ‘06-‘11. Made damn sure to stand right next to the catch fencing when the pack passed at 200-205. All I can say was that was unreal, but compared to 250 mph, forget it. The Mulsanne Straight is something I would legally marry.

    10 years prior to this in 1978 I made an audio recording from this exact same spot. It is only recently that I re-discovered it in a box of old cassettes. It was still in quite good condition so I have now put it on a video. It was when the main battle was between the Porsche 936s & the Renault Alpine 442s. The famous "Moby Dick" long-tailed Porsche 935 was also there. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZOMusWJY668gKQ.html&ab_channel=coleorum

It's odd but much later the Rebellions in the 2000's had the same effect (not as severe) in the stand at Woodcote but it was more obvious as they were petrol engines amongst the diesels.

    Far out footage! I've forwarded this one to many allready. Soooo great ! One small 'but' though. You calculate a little about the travelled distance of the cars and the sound reaching the camera. The sound is irrelevant. At 230mp/h,the cars travel at little over 115 yards a second(!),so it IS indeed 0.9 mile away... Shortly after which the brakingzone for Mulsanne corner came.
