Le Mans 2005 Mulsanne at Night

[TPBX225]

I like the sound of the Porsche without the sequential gearbox

@joholj1204 In this case, the 'acid dude' was high on lemonade.

[seapeddler]

Did anyone see the guy being towed on a skateboard at 1:40 ?

[gillylaw]

does anybody know how to get to the carpark there

[NeeKroVal]

look itsa dead stig

[elequenne]

Thanks, you are absolutely right, nothing compares to Le Mans! Next time, I would suggest that you go enjoying the sounds in the nite at the Arnage corner, you will get the cold chills. Talking about haunting sounds...

[elequenne]

By the way, in all respect, this video is not accurately named, we are not talking about "Mulsanne" here, this is the entrance of the "Hunaudieres Straight" but more commonly named in the English terminology "The Mulsanne Straight". I don't know why but it is an important mistake that leads all international fans to confusion! In the Le Mans history, Mulsanne refers strictly to the "Mulsanne Corner" located at the very end of the true "Hunaudieres Straight".

The ultimate! The excitment of the first hours has calmed down, now the serious stuff is starting..We've got to survive the night. This is "the right stuff"! The sound of the machines carried by the cool wind into the nite! It's magic! It is like a reassuring company that we never want for it to stop... A Le Mans kid.

If the second last LMP was an AER motor, at this time in the race it would most likely have been one of the Paul Belmondo Courage, because they are the only ones that were still counting laps in at the 9 hour mark. Either that or the Intersport/Miracles Lolas on a charge before they fell out of the running 30 minutes later.

I love this place. Can't wait to be stood at Tetre Rouge again this June at some ungodly hour in the morning.

[arxcns]

that second last LMP car has a rather low-pitched engine sound... Audi R10?

[franciccio]

in 2005 there were only the "old" R8 V8 petrol engine

[seancarsonuk]

Its a 2ltr trubo I4. Most probably an AER motor if it is from 2005.

[rallymaniac92]

i wish my car sounded like the race cars when i shift through the gears....

[seancarsonuk]

That Judd GV4 from 0:20 to 0:40 sounds so sweet as does that GT3 at 0:55 and 1:01 - my two favourite engines from Le Mans of all time I think!

[elliot6040]

Couldn't agree more... awesome engine.

[c6rfan34]

i like at 1:57 when u the porsche shifts and u see the backfire then a second later u hear it.

[darrenpinarello]

there are another two of those at 0:44 and 0:55

[delphiracing8]

I have no idea but it looks pretty cool when the cars flash the headlights like at 1:46

[TheNewBob]

I really like the sounds when they are further down the Mulsanne straight. It's almost haunting, I stood on the banks of Terte Rouge on the inside last year and saw the headlights heading down the straight with the sound too... I won't forget that, ever! Nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to Le Mans.

[wpsracing108]

just that distant noise they make as they stream away is just amazing isnt it

[groenteeter]

yooo,

tyvm 4 post!!!!!! love it

indeed u have to be there to hear it properly..

thats why i go every year;)

[djchocice]

cool, i miss the sound of the judd 4.0 V10, sound's so much better than the new judd 5.5 V10

[TheNewBob]

Absolutely - the old screamers sound superb here!

[seancarsonuk]

agreed

[LolaJudd]

I wish the ACO would remove the first chicane on the Mulsanne Straight.

[drpellypo]

Totally fake!!!

[ToroQ3000]

no it's not. it's the 24 hours of le mans.

[drpellypo]

lol - I was joking mate. Martyn is a friend of mine. Private joke ;)

[ToroQ3000]

ohhh sorry

[slendo]

Viewing is difficult at the best of times, but some good sounds caught hear! Roll on 2007!
