24 Hours of Le Mans 2007 Start

[KA128183]

Of all the motorsports I watch and enjoy the LeMans 24 Hours is by far my favorite motorpsort event.

[ratzinator1]

Peugeot are serious rockets, but the only time they can beat Audi is when Audi's endurance is at its worse - i.e. '09 - that was some race of attrition. I loved the 2010 race. Kristensen is the man - loved to see him win another overall, but the French Lions blowing up 3 engines and a suspension mess up and Audi 1,2,3. Can't beat that with a stick. Love to see how these coupes are going to kick ass.

[gtone339]

This year will be amazing.

New Peugeot 908 vs New Audi R18 coupe :)

[thomasgrudnielsen]

I love the Audi Guys Tom, Allan McNish and Dindo Capello <3 <3 TK

[CobraMarty]

Love Le Mans, but personally there's way too much LMP1 coverage and too little GT coverage

[davidreit]

My carrera favorita....menudos coches

[JELB7]

3 best teams in le mans is audi peugeot and pescarolo expect them to be in the top positions

[omaisbarbudo]

Audi R10/R15 de cu é rola! Vencer com carro sem teto é fácil. Quero ver ganhar com um carro "normal" como o Peugeot 908.

[foca2002]

@omaisbarbudo

Ganhou em 2011.

Chore.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Will somebody teach this videographer how to use a tripod?

[Schumi1224]

How did all the Le Mans cars all of a sudden get so much faster in 2008 than they were in 2007?!

[A7V2]

It was a damp track in 07 & a dry track in 08

[nkyhn2]

So you dont look at the fact that Peugeot started 1-2-3 at Le Mans 2008 and this was just the second time with their new car? My favourites is Audi but i respect Peugeot very much.

[MattMatt2308]

Who are you to say this?

Who won Le Mans this year?!!!!! And first and second! so shut up please!

[spykerescuadron]

german rules in lemans

[spykerescuadron]

¡my favorite race!

[tiger260bhp]

RIP David Leslie,,,great guy...sorely missed.

[Maxilina]

i love 24h Le Mans!its the better endurance race in the world.i like Pedro Lamy(because he is portuguese like me),and i think he is going to win this year.or maaybe Tom K.

[F430corvettekiller]

im looking forward to the closed cockpit cars, but this is not the last year

[number1Schumacherfan]

Peugot can't beat Audi. I'm sorry but the French don't know how to make race cars. Ok, Renault F1, but they are headquartered in England. Besides they buy most of their components from German company Bosch. So it really isn't even a French car.

[adv20]

@number1Schumacherfan really...?

[Soussmeboules]

@number1Schumacherfan

Pfff The guy who knows nothing. Check a bit the palmares of Peugeot in racing history, and the one of Audi. You will be surprised how Peugeot outclass Audi. Plus French don't know how to make racecars. Bugatti the most successfull brand in racing history is french. Citroen dominate WRC (as Peugeot did before).

[titsxyxyxyxtits]

@Soussmeboules Bugatti was foundet in the German Empire and is now VW.

And today on 13. June 2010 the next 1-2-3 Audi Sucess happened.

[Soussmeboules]

@titsxyxyxyxtits

Nein, Bugatti lieferte schon Flugzeugmotoren für französische Armée während 1 Weltkrieg.

Bugatti haben in der Zeit von Ettore nie mit Deutschland zu tun, trotz sein Werk in Elsass lag. Bugatti Rennfarbe war "bleu de France", weder silber, noch weiss.

[titsxyxyxyxtits]

@Soussmeboules Ja, aber das ändert ja nix ,das es im Deutschen Kaiserreich gegründet wurde.

[Soussmeboules]

@titsxyxyxyxtits

Sag sowas an einen Elsässer und du kriegst ein Anschiss wenn er noch nett ist.

Bugatti ist dort gekommen dank Baron Eugène de Dietrich (franzose-elsässer). Danach in 1911 bauten sie auch Autos in Zusammenarbeit für Peugeot. Es ist reine Deutsche Wichserei zu denken dass Bugatti damals etwas mit Deutschland zu tun hatte. Rudolf Diesel, ist in Frankreich geboren, und gewachsen. Ist dafür der Dieselmotor ein französische Erfindung? Nein.

[titsxyxyxyxtits]

@Soussmeboules Rudolf Diesel hat keinen Französischen Namen, dreimal darfst du raten warum. Dummer Vergleich.

Bugatti wurde im Deutschen Kaiserreich gegründet, ob die nun was mit dem Deutschen Kaiserreich zu tun hatte oder nicht interessiert mich nicht. Letzten Endes interessiert mich Bugatti auch nicht, der Konzern spielt eh erst wieder eine größere Rolle seitdem er unter Deutscher Führung ist. :)

[Soussmeboules]

@titsxyxyxyxtits

Ob der Name Französisch, Deutsch, oder was anderes ist, spielt keine Rolle.

Ich habe einen Deutschen Familiennamen, lebe in Deutschland, und bin Franzose.

Guck mal die Champagner Marke: Mumm, Roederer, Piper Heidsieck, Möet, Bollinger. Sind es französischen Namen?

Porsche war Österreicher (Deutsche Marke), Citroen war Holländer (Fr. Marke), Chevrolet war Fr. und Schweizer (US Marke), Villeroy & Boch waren Franzosen und Luxemburger (Deutsche Marke). Es gibt viele Beispiele.

[titsxyxyxyxtits]

@Soussmeboules Ja, und Henry Nestle war Deutscher und hat das Unternehmen Nestle in der Schweiz gegründet, ich weiß.

Was ich damit sagen wollte ist, das Rudolf Diesel Deutsche Eltern hatte, und mit Ausbruch des Krieges 1870 aus Frankreich wie alle Nichtfranzosen ausgewiesen wurde. Frankreich hat ihn wohl auch nicht als Franzosen gesehen.

[titsxyxyxyxtits]

@Soussmeboules Porsche ist die mit abstand erfolgreichste Automarke im Motorsport.

[Soussmeboules]

@titsxyxyxyxtits

Ja Porsche ist fast der maß aller Dinge. In Le Mans Sportprototypen, oder GT, ja ohne Zweifel ist Porsche der beste, aber in Motorsport ich glaube nicht. Meine beliebte überhaupt sind der 917, 930, 964 und 935.

Mercedes und Peugeot (wegen auch Ihre Alter) haben mehr als Porsche gewonnen und in viel Klassen.

Allein der Bugatti Type 35 hat über 2000 Siege, mehr als der BMW M3 E30, und ist seitdem mit Abstand der erfolgreichste Auto aller Zeiten. Der kann nicht überholt werden.

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

@number1Schumacherfan Then why did the Peugeot 905s win Le Mans back to back in 1992 and 1993? They know what they're doing, it's just the diesel cars aren't like anything they've dealt with before.

[RobertLeDiptere]

@number1Schumacherfan

We're mainly talking about engineers and pilots there. It is a french team.

[lloydgarnett]

yeah i heard that this is the last year for open cockpit cars which in my opinion is stupid cause i find they look better hopefully some people agree with me

[sbursi]

Current rumors are hinting that the LMP classes will continue to allow open and closed cockpit cars

[Maroti]

Tom K is going to win this year!!!

[lloydgarnett]

if he runs

[mchamp3802]

Audi continues its 22 consecutive wins in Le Mans! Sebring hall of fame winner for the last 8 consecutive years!

[WheldenL]

that ended thanks to Porsche's P2 cars....lol

[Ssseptimiusss]

well they have the "legends" race evry year... however i haven't seen any of the porsche 956/962, sauber c9/c11/c291, peugeot 905 or nissan r90 cp/ck so far...:(

[TezzaMcJ]

they should introduce a vintage category, where all the classic cars from the 80s and early 90s can race, those were the best ones

[sholehan2]

Damn. I was there, just on the right hand side of the picture as they come through the start/finish straight.

I miss it so much... I might have to smuggle in with someone this year.

[IonicBullet]

Lol, "its not wet", "it is dan, it is"

[DieselBenz]

Comparing the R10 to most of the others... it power peaks at 4200 rpm, torque peaks around 2500... Not to mention it had 200+ more torque than everyone!!! This proved for a car that pulls VERY hard out of a curve and is able to put down more power sooner.

YEE HAW!!! NASCAR FAGGOT DRIVE FAST TURN LEFT!

[DieselBenz]

OOPS ALSO FORGOT... AUDI also built in emission controls that took away horsepower that were not required by regulations just to prove a point!!!

[blondboyharrison]

the peogeots look like the legendary toyota gt1`s

[vivaSchumi7]

2 words : Audi rules

[GTRboyx]

damn but de audi is much superior in racin

[zemurph]

can anyone advise me on the best area to camp for general madness during the weekend and the best place to be for the actual race. Will be my first year so am really clueless

[Porsche911GT1]

the Club Arnage guide would help, but theres only the 2006 and 2007 guide. don't know when they'll release the 2008 edition. maybe a month out from the race.

clubarnage . com / caguide/

just remove the spaces

[jixx69]

i wish they had this broadcasted on tv here in australia =[ but atleast i can watch a bit on here lol =]

[spartan1893]

i was wondering if its pouring and u got an open car wont ur whole ur car act like a bucket lol unless u have hoels under but itll still be anoying

[GTRboyx]

yea wad happens wen it rains

[Lego324]

Excellent video! Thanks a lot Porsche911GT1!!!

I can't wait for next year, it's going to be an exciting race.

[mrnoobJI]

whats the advantages/disadvantages of having an "open top" like the R10 or the "closed coupe" like the puegoet? ty in advance

[Porsche911GT1]

in terms of aerodynamics, the closed coupe would create less drag but also generate more lift, while the open top would have the opposite effect.

i think most teams use the open top design because its more simpler, in that you don't have to worry about the doors, windows fogging up, windscreen wipers etc. Its also easier to perform driver changes with the open top.

funny how Peugoet couldn't get their doors to close properly...

[GTRboyx]

wad happens wen it rains, would de open tops get flooded?

[Porsche911GT1]

they might have some holes for the water to drain out, i don't know.

[xist3nc3]

god that would be funny

[VonVoltage]

Oh my god what a rediculous question, I'm sorry but that really seemed funny to me. I'm sure they've planned for that.

[8vfury]

The open top cars are moving fast enough and have large enough aerodynamics packages that the rain is forced up and around the cockpit. On some of the very slowest corners they may get a little wet, but not much.

[LolaJudd]

diesels are allowed more power in p1. the closed cockpit Lola B08/10 is a return to form.

[ToroQ3000]

I've been looking for what the car was called, thank you. And Biodiesel loses power and torque but not economy; it would still tame the cars more for their petrol/ethonal friends.

[groenteeter]

STFU u know shit please just be quiet please

[ToroQ3000]

so polite!

[mauownage]

hopefully other teams can follow suit. Pescarolo Sport are developing a new car with Lister, But I still can't say if its diesel. The Peugeot is a nice car, it reminds me of the Group C racers, while the R10 is a forgettable design. Too workmanlike. But hell, it wins.

[ALCUS52]

Maybe it's the colour, but it looks fantastic when all three are formation flying. Go to 2:11 and put you hand over the Peugeots, and hopefully, you'll see what I mean. I will agree with you, I don't like the lights, and the Peugeot looks great..

[fogdentho]

diesels are the best end of (but if you run it on bioethanol E85 you get more horsepower and about 20 mpg more

[StillOnWin95]

Are you stupid??? You lose economy and horsepower with BE85

[ben1245689]

your going to expect another diesel at le mans next year and its involved with WR and their car because i hope its powerful and fast but i hope its a front running car

[jacobsoren]

The dieselracers just pulled away, how cool is that!

No more "diesel is slow". Diesel rocks, the end.

[lyrisabff]

haha vvvvv

[SonicXisnow2006]

Sebastien Bourdais won.

[langtall]

Sure, and pigs can fly.

[monkeypoo1]

hmmm.....

[bigstuff83]

Shame peugeot didnt come away with the win but they didnt seem to have the pace of the winning Audi. Bit more practice i reckon. Good for Aston Martin for finally beating the mighty corvettes though and getting the class win. I thought that race was better than Peugeot vs Audi one.

[smartalec247]

i was there. shitty weather.

[hondachickB18c1]

LUCKY!!

[toefting]

I´m from Oviedo, the city of Fernando Alonso and i think that if bourdais is in F1 he doesn´t have some much problems to win the championship. is one of the betters drivers in the world now. I think taht is better than most of the F1 drivers.

[bert1981]

well as fari as what i saw from the start straight it was not wet had not rained for quite some time and it was just driver error. great video really shows all the things i could not see

[eBassiste]

It was raining on pit lane when the race started

[TomTom150]

He missed his 1st turn because he drove on a wet part of the track with slick tires.

Briatore doesn't want Bourdais because he's not his manager. Briatore only puts his pilots on the team (Fisico, Alonso, Kovalainen, etc.). This man is a business man. He thinks money first but doesn't give a shit about the rest. He gets a percentage by hiring pilots like Kova or Fisico (don't tell me that Fisico is better than Bourdais, this man is a shit driver), but would get no money by hiring Bourdais.

[ArnaudShanghai]

Everyone is thinking Bourdais is a god in France, look at his brilliant start!!! LOL, the track is totally dry he is not able to go straight. I agree with Briatore, if Bourdais is not in F1, it's not because of bad luck, it is just because he is not good enough...Champ Car is a middle class serie, beeing champion of it does not make you a big champion

[robilove]

heyy porsche911, did you see the hole thing ?

[Porsche911GT1]

nah, i'm getting to it though.

[Johnny1lap]

great thanks for posting....and i was there

[RISCnothing42]

These races are awesome... the crowds and the audience it attracts are cooll... don't like nascar though.

[geauxtigers531]

Thanks a bunch for putting this up... I don't get speed and I was really wanting to see the race...

[fsice]

This Audi is briliant!

[jonnyspa27]

Thanks for the vid, this helps put together all that Radio Le Mans described this morning! Keep-em coming :-)
