Le Mans 2010 onboard Audi R15

[raikkonen8]

I must've pressed the mute button.........cant hear anything!

[pollemar]

I mean the lap time...

[pollemar]

3:32... not bad with the traffic... It must be a honour to drive a car like this.

[hypernova8787]

Superb upload. Stripped of all "I this and that crap" and the ever-so-stupid music.

THANK YOU!!!

[TheQuickscoper1998]

this guys got skill! i would just wreck myself into that wall at 1:11

[fukt0p]

wow a really amazing car but that TDI engine sounds like shit :(

[jubudiba]

@fukt0p not like shit at all, more like it doesn't need to stretch itself to the limit at any point of the track.

[sixstringslinger85]

Amazing how low it revs, almost sounds like he's short shifting...

[lugope64]

Nice!!!

Audi Rules...

[Ornqiraj]

Let me explain this so even two years old can understand the point.

Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1) is endurance race cars, build to race in 6 - 24 Hours.

The ACO rules has forced the teams to downsize everything from engines to fuel tanks the last years.

Allowed brand new technoligy allowed, wich F1 dosnt, their still running with thier outdated petrol cars.

LMP1 cars is build to drive 6 - 24 hours race with huge speed and dont brake.

An F1 car would drive 2-3 hours and brake down..........

[defigi]

@Ornqiraj I like F1 racing but I love Le Mans racing. Easily the best race series in the world.

[MetaKnightsKirby]

@Ornqiraj Right, thats why each F1 engine does AT LEAST 2 races, full qualiyfinga and practice sessions, and make 40-50mpg without the aero.

[SieTeppischfresser]

@MetaKnightsKirby 40-50mpg? At Singapore they were burning about a gallon a lap. They were making 3.2mpg there. Now, you're right about the engines lasting two races. That's incredible considering they are running 18,000 rpm, which is something these LMP1 cars are not doing.

[bob333336]

@SieTeppischfresser "without the aero"

[proximer217]

@Ornqiraj LeMans cars would cover distance set by F1 cars slower.. Otherwords. F1 cars are way faster than LeMans.. I'm not against LeMans cars, but what you say is insane..

[Ornqiraj]

@proximer217

Not insane. The overall point is, an F1 car cant drive 24Hours non stop without breaking, thier engines are not build for a endurance challenge like that

[jdoggybizzle]

Damn shame they have the chicanes on the Mulsanne, would love to see what those diesel cars could do on a decent patch of straight

[pOpCoRn0531]

@jdoggybizzle That is to eliminate cars from flying off course.

[TheUPguy1]

Man i love the sound of that car.

[CaptainBig8IIIIIID]

do i hear a hint of Dodge Viper?

[tammelol]

@CaptainBig8IIIIIID I assume soundwise ? If that's the case then same here.

[sicksouthsider1]

Awesome video thanks!

[xKriZ765x]

What's faster lmp1 cars or f1 cars??

[DominarTyranT1]

@xKriZ765x Formula One dude, no doubt about this ^^

[kongbenne]

@DominarTyranT1 not in top speed.

[DominarTyranT1]

@kongbenne yeah because F1 gearboxes are setup for shorter race, a Le Mans circuit will kill a classic F1 engine but remember what Jenson Button did in Mojave desert few years ago: his Bar-Honda reached 415Kph in straight line, pretty good for a F1 and in dust conditions^^

[xKriZ765x]

@DominarTyranT1 but lmp1 can hit around 250mph. and f1 cars only hit 220mph on the straight at spa.

[AndrewKostenko]

@xKriZ765x so? you are comparing top speed of different cars on different tracks!

lmp cars are suited for Le mans track, it's oblivious. but guess, who's gonna be faster in monaco or in turkey? ))

[xKriZ765x]

@AndrewKostenko Red bull X2010 prototype

[AndrewKostenko]

@xKriZ765x lol

[superchiller123chill]

@xKriZ765x if they completely remove all the downforce a formula 1 car can go well beyond 270 mph, only problem is it will take off!

[kallo182]

@xKriZ765x

LMP1 Car = 900Kg / 600Hp

F1 Car = 605Kg / 765 Hp

Even DTM Cars got more Corner Speed and Corner G-Force than LMP1 Cars.

[TheDukeof91]

@kallo182 Have you ever thought about that G-Force isn´t better when it´s higher? The more g-force you have the more your tires get ripped off...so thats bad. And a LMP-1 kicks a F1 cars ass. Its on topspeed, nearly equally in acceleration and lasts way longer. And the corner speeds are nearly the same too. Dumbass

[kallo182]

@TheDukeof91

Sure its the same LoooL

An LMP1 Car needs nearly an half Day to reach 320 Kmh.

An F1 Car got 300Kmh after nearly 5-600 meter.

If someone think that an GT Prototyp is faster than F1 than its more than Funny xDDD

[LOLWUT612]

@kallo182 LOL sure

[kallo182]

@LOLWUT612

The Audi R15 LMP1 Car got on the end of the Concorde Strait, in this Video at 1:06 exact 322Kmh (201mph)

An F1 Car got 316Kmh on the Start and Finish Strait of Melbourne. The LMP1 Car would in Melbouren dont even came in the 6th Gear.

Guys you all play toooo much Gran Turismo : )

[LOLWUT612]

@kallo182 A R15 only has 5 Gears

LMP1 cars with 350 KM/H on the straight

[TheUPguy1]

@kallo182 qualifying speed on straights for that year was 223 mph

[OrnatosV]

@TheDukeof91 Bottom line is: F1 cars have faster corner speeds, top speeds, can make a lap way faster, but while an F1 car has to do 60 laps around a circuit, an LMP1 car could do 1000 with way less fuel spent.

[bandman232]

@xKriZ765x LMP1. More Aerodynamically stable, more powerful, and better endurance. I'd rather drive one of these than an F1 car. Corner speeds are a tad slower though.

[joyfulvulture]

@bandman232

"Corner speeds are a tad slower though"

a tad? you dont know shit about formula 1 do you?

[mrradiochicken]

This is one of those rare moments when a diesel is blowing by Ferraris and Porsches

[Leithyl]

Wait! Wrong video clip. it was the Peugeot one I was looking at with the paddles.

[Leithyl]

Yeah not sure! It looks like his fingers are flicking padels? I guess i'll have to watch it again.

[Leithyl]

What a car. I think it's fantastic you can run a diesel in this class, sounds good and soo much torque. Nice driving lines and smooth to.
