Le Mans 1988 Part 2 of 5

[484berkshire]

5:40. NO SAFETY CAR?!

[Funkdogg]

what a ugly truck!

[chubbz5150ify]

I love those group c cars. Would love to see them back racing again.

[dallaw2]

did u know Jaguar paid a fashion designer to come to Le Mans and make sure the outfits and all other apparel match the car

[MagicGnyus]

I think the reason the #17 porsche wanted to get in front of the #18 porsche during the race is because... in case they came into the pits at the same time like that, at least the #17 could position himself in a way where the #18 could pull out easier. But since he came in second, and had his spot in front, he had no choice but to position himself the way he did. That was kinda stupid.

6:40 - the Marshalls were really brave helping Nielsen there with the cars in that area going 100+ miles/hr.

[ratzinator1]

@ratzinator1

not 6:40, my apologies 5:40

[bigcat178]

Nice to hear these two again Anthony Marsh and Neville Hay. Ref Jaguar ankles I have checked both my Jaguars and neither have ankles!

[DannyBoySmith1993]

is there any mention of the 251mph WM Peugeot??

[TheDanishHardstyle]

i cant find a video of the magical 407km/h straight

[frederikke100]

Excellent video!

Anyone seen any 1982 edition vid´s?? Or was it 1983 when Rothmans Porsche had a 1,2,3 finish?

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

@frederikke100 Well Rothmans Porsche won in 1982, 1983, 1986 and 1987

[PositiveCholosVibes]

one of the commentators sounds like Stewy from family guy

[cragmac1000]

That's Neville Hay and you're right he does have that jaunty british deep accent!

[fredsambo]

The British commentators are awesome!  :-)

I'm now downloading the full 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24h and I'm looking forward to have other editions (the Gt1 time was also good with 911 & CLK)

[mightycowhero]

i never got to watch one of these races :( back in the 80's when i was a little kid i would always see these cars on lunchboxes and wonder what they were.

i grew up in the bahamas. we didn't have cable then.

[TwistedArmco]

962C vs. XJR-9. Classic.

Shame the Sauber C9s withdrew. Would they have made it a three way battle?

[MJKDTJ]

Actually when mercedez won in 1989 with almost free trouble race the made 389 laps 5 laps less than the winning jaguar in 1988 and the second place porsche which they made 394 laps eve with a 30 minute rain. So Mercedez could not had won  in 1988. and probably they could not finish the race because body work defects for the mulssane straight

[marvinbenz]

nothing can keep up with those 962's when the blowers are fully turned up

[zid00001]

They could have given the Jag 1000bhp but the idea is to still be running after 24hrs !!

[cragmac1000]

They are actually suckers but I know what you mean

[caseykvt]

'Look at the fight for the lead'

'And meanwhile...I don't believe that...!'

xD

Great video

[szerdav]

Le Mans 4ever!

[FM77]

fantastic video...bravo...thank you..

[rb417]

Mustn't count our cats before they are hatched. The commentator is a fool - good vod thx.

[kxttxya]

at one point, the commentator reminded me of Stewie from Family Guy.... hah

[hurley911]

Yes, when he mentions Andretti comining in on his own-- so Stewie!

[blokjekaas]

great stuff...

I was looking for this for some time

thanx
