I really liked the music selection that you used. It takes me back to some racing games that I used to play.

Octavia is the best one to me,there will never be a car in WRC like that again.

Some of the most obscure and recent failed racers could easily be the Suzuki SX4 WRC, the Mini Countryman JCW WRC and the Proton Satria Neo S2000, don't you think so? 😮

@12:30 the old WCR tune..... NICE.

You need to add the RS200 Group B car to the list. The car had just one podium, compared with the outdated 2WD Lancia Rally 037, which achieved two podiums in the same season. Alfa Romeo also got a podium that year, and they didn't even have a group B car, it was their Group A GTV6. The RS200 was best known for running down some spectators in the 1986 Rally of Portugal. Not to mention they cancelled the Escort RS1700T Group B project to build the RS200 and achieved so little.

@carcrasher88YT

Throw on top of that when some of the Group B rally icons went endurance racing. An ex-Works 037 ran JGTC in 1994, performed miserably, and a converted RS200 road car ran in IMSA's GTO class in 1988, also performed miserably.

The Škoda looks like it's wearing one of those breathing apratuses extremely fat people wear. Very cool and very inclusive.

307 had poor results, but it was beautiful. Aesthetics: 10/10.

You know that the later Nissan GT-R LM Nismo became the great potential since Jann Mardenborough, the gamer-turned-pro-race-driver of Team Nissan took the victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 class.

I hope you can make a video on the Mitsubishi Lancer WRC that debuted in 2001 or 2004 one day. It is my favourite rally car ever since I saw it in the licensed PS2 WRC games.

i saw a LMP car somewhere. maybe it was nissan. it had strangely narrow front. it looked so strange. i would like to suggest that car too. and i dont know what clasifies as fail raced. is brawn gp's f1 car good suggestion? it was expected to fail. no sponsors wanted to touch it. but thanks to inovation they managed to win. and looks like you are a fan of Skoda. you may know Favorit was quite good so they tried with Felicia too. i love the design of felicia. sadly it wasn as good as favorit. so that car is a failed racer

I've got a couple of suggestions for future entries, a couple of them with American origins. - 1978 Dodge Magnum NASCAR Winston Cup car: It was Chrysler Corporation's last ditch effort to remain competitive in the series, but absolutely failed. Richard Petty (who was still a factory driver for them at the time) claimed the car was undrivable at 190 mph. By mid-season, the two top Mopar teams (Petty, and the team of Neil Bonnett) abandoned the car and switched to GM products, leaving lower-tier privateers running them. It's only bright spot was when Richard's son, Kyle, won the 1979 ARCA (at the time still an independent series, lower than NASCAR) opener at Daytona, but since that was a totally different series, not sure if that would count as much for 'Against The Odds' points. - 1997-98 Toyota Cavalier JGTC: Wait, what? Most folks who aren't diehard JDM fans or Chevrolet fans are likely not aware that Toyota sold a rebadged third-gen Chevrolet Cavalier in Japan. Even fewer are probably aware that a semi-factory backed Cavalier ran in the 1997 and 1998 JGTC seasons in the GT300 class. For the most part, the car was rather non-competitive, though it could get some 'Against The Odds' points, for scoring a 4th place finish at the no longer active Mine Circuit. Probably the biggest salt in the wound for the Cavalier's failure, though, was the fact that it was replaced in 1999 by a spaceframe car with the bodywork of the long-discontinued AE86 Corolla, while the Cavalier was still on the market in Japan at the time.

Never knew the Nissan LMP1 car was 20 seconds a lap slower per lap at Le Mans. That's huge. It must have been slower than LMP2. Yikes!

I always wonder, to this day, how much more Gronholm would have won with a Peugoet team that wasn't so damn incompetent. Basically, the 307 made him and Peugoet leave the sport.

might I suggest doing the Nissan Delta Wing?

I believe the nissan lmp1 car was supposed to have system that would have made it 4 wheel drive and in that case it might have been much faster thus having potential.

@FailedRacers

3 ай бұрын

Kinda, but I explained why that probably wouldn't have worked either on the full video on the GTR. Basically, it had very little rear grip, so the rear wouldn't actually be able to handle much power, and you'd also need driveshafts, which would cut through the aero tunnels reducing the aerodynamic benefits of Nissan's front engine front wheel drive concept

@HighFell

3 ай бұрын

It was intended to be a part-time 4WD system. The hybrid system would power the rear wheels only when needed, through corners (and regen braking before a corner) FWD the rest of the time. The lack of Hybrid was a critical failure as the entire dynamics of the car were ruined, it was hopelessly under braked without the regen and that was what made it so slow and difficult to drive, the Le Mans appearance was a lot of smoke and mirrors but it was eating brakes constantly. The physical size was a problem but needed to make the Venturi tunnel concept work, it had very poor chassis dynamics (more in common with a canal barge) The innovative aero package made it very fast in a straight line but it overwhelmed the suspension, it spent most of its time dragging its backside like a dog with worms. The US company behind the project bizarrely also failed to appreciate the bumpy nature of the Le Mans track too. It was a terrifying object to drive at speed and mildly worrying to drive slowly. Technically it didn’t qualify to start at Le Mans and Technically it didn’t qualify as a finisher but the large amount of Nissan Branding around the circuit at that year’s LM 24 did help the results look less embarrassing. Ben Bowlby was the wrong man for the job.

2/10 stylling for the 307 ? What? Are we looking at the same car ? More like 7 to 8 out of 10

@profemeritus534

3 ай бұрын

There are angles from which the 307 WRC looks convincing, but the spoiler placement is hideous. The early-2000s elongated Peugeot headlights are the worst of PSA - they looked interesting on the small 206, but ruined the aesthatics of bigger cars such as the 307, 407 and 607. Rear window is pretty weird too. The widened wheel arches and racing mods of course help the overall picture look more agressive, but I highly recommend looking at body-in-white version which exposes the overall ugliness of the design. 4/10 at most. That said - the 306 Maxi looked like it was made in a tuk-tuk workshop as well (2/10), and it still became one of the most famed Peugeot rally cars of all time. The 206 WRC was maybe 6/10, the 205 T16 is in the range of 8/10 and the 406 Coupe Silhouette is the true 10/10 racing car styling.

Not going to mention that the 307 took a life? RIP

I wouldn't really blame the 307 for that. It was built to the FIA's safety standards of the day, and it was in perfect mechanical condition. What happened with Michael Park was just unfortunate. There isn't really anything or anyone at fault for it.
