FIA GT - Hockenheim 1997

[EddieofSWE]

What an awesome field of race cars....

Let's hope that the new Viper (coming next year) will be racing in GT1 again...

[YTPAreTheBestVidzEvr]

Watching this makes me wanna pull out World Driver on my N64......epic game beyond its time.

[smasila]

damn that Panoz is loud!

[jclafi]

Lotus Elise GT1 and Viper GTS-R rules dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[QueenFanFoLife]

Panoz's are wanna-be porsch's

[Tiamat583]

the panoz GTR1 s the BEST!!1

[snayil]

I think Ferrari's took over the Mclarens position MAn is there alot of Mclarens in there. The whole field in general must be worth lIke 50 million.

[ricorenaultf1]

Verry Nice!

[MPZRACEVIDEO]

Oh Mann, ich war dort...in der Nordkurve.

Die Panoz hatten einen Sound wie von einem anderen Stern.

Und wieviel Zuschauer dort waren. Genial!!!

Was würde ich zahlen das Rennen nochmal live sehen zu können... :.-(

[LoZioFBV]

The good old GTS-R!!

Why the hell can't they bring it back!

The new Competition Coupe is hella weak compared to the original GTS-R!!

[speedf1league]

Excellent video! This was truly the golden age of sports car racing...

[Jexcee]

@speedf1league

And you KNOW this, MAN!

[LDis1]

Indeed...

Mid to Late 90s were the best.

[alexander1485]

I have a video walkaround (current) of that green/yellow and white lotus esprit gt1... you can see it at the 2:50ish mark pretty good...

[DVGTS1]

these were epic cars in the Fia GT,it's a pity there's only the MC12 and C6R fighting for victory now

[fearbeforefearbefore]

Amen.

[ChiZ712]

wow 1997 huh! thanks for the upload this is some great footage for a camera back then(not to mention audio). keep it coming if you have more

[jclafi]

I Like the Lotus  :D

[GegeGtHun]

Thank you for this great video!! The 1997 was the best FIA GT season, with awesome GT1 supercars (McLaren F1 GTR, Lotus Elise GT1, Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, Porsche 911 GT1, Panoz Esperante GTR-1), and with various GT2 sportscars (Porsche 911 GT2, Marcos LM 600, Dodge Viper)! Today FIA GT is less interesting I think...

[BrnoutJerzey]

I couldn't agree with you more :)

[geforce5700fx]

Man ! Porsche Lotus Mercedes and Mclaren in GT1 !

[hash626]

fia gt was awesome before it went all "GT cars" like gt1 and gt2. with le mans regs for 2010 requiring all closed tops, i wonder if the current fia gt may change?

[redriverman2006]

Don't think the closed tops are required, that was thrown around but defused about a year ago I think.

[hash626]

oh well im glad to hear that, i love the variety of both

[G4JMedia]

Not a chance, world FIA GT is for GT1s only.

[Plisken1986]

Wish the GT-1 class still existed. Those things were monsters.

[dreino23]

those were the greatest years of the gt race...All the most awsome cars there were:mercedes clk-gtr, mc laren f1 gtr, porsche 911 gt1, etc etc..

p.s. sorry for the bad english

[CrazAzn325iS]

Awesome video! Thanks for posting... the McLarens sound so great!

[hmg454]

Nice vid, nice to see the Panoz in action.

[DerChrisX]

schönes Video.

Wie heißt der Streckensprecher?

[DaSchraadz]

Das ist eine gute Frage!

Rainer Braun, Burkhardt Bechtel und der inzwischen verstorbene Kalli Hufstadt sind es meinem Gehör nach nicht. Vielleicht Peter Theissen?

[Marc24Karlsruhe]

Würde spontan auch auf Theissen tippen

[MPZRACEVIDEO]

Nice...the PANOZ is absolutely the best!!!

[ruudmobiel]

Thanks for posting this video! They should race those cars again.

[Speedblood]

Long tail mclaren = GT Racing Beauty! :)

[deathcoreFTW999]

@Speedblood i personaly like the lm-gtr more, its a beautiful car
