Is that a W140 S-Class at the beginning?

[X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

@victoirclochard

It is, as heavy as the whole 1st starting row xD ...

[victoirclochard]

@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X

just look at the cars there. That had to be one of the best fields ever in le mans. They are all fast as hell.

懐かしい。あのころはハタチだった。今はアラフォ～。 日本機械学会学生会のコネクションを使って貴島さんと船本さんに­インタビューに行きました。 その節はお世話になり，ありがとうございました。 マツダの皆様，16Xの開発を成功させ，妻に気兼ねなくREに乗­れるようにしてください。お願い致します。できればボディはFD­3Sのデザインをそのまま活かしてください。 デミオと同じ30km/Lなら妻は許してくれるかな。 貴社の技術力，山本健一大先輩の仰った (1)創造的であれ。 (2)挑戦的であれ。 (3)NEVER GIVE UP！ ⇒ROTARY SPIRITS！　⇒　飽くなき挑戦！ を持ってすれば，必ずできると信じて待っております。

[expresstoki181]

あれからもう20年なんですね。この時は24時間後を想像すら出­来なかったです。

[SuppahGranny]

i understood...EVERYTHING!

[TheItalianPerson]

how many turbos does the 787b have?

[Darkman2023]

@TheItalianPerson I think the LeMans winner had one...I'm not even sure of that.

[steveo2619]

@TheItalianPerson none it was actually a naturaly aspirated 4 rotor engine with around 650hp

[TheItalianPerson]

@steveo2619 wow thats impressive

[MattKpo]

@TheItalianPerson NONE its naturally aspirated

[Cora090500]

WTF was that shitty pace car..come on!!!!!

[TheValKBawz]

Why did they waste what feels like almost the entire first lap to show the faces of some meaningless commenters?

[ovalspecial]

@metalboy30111993 it was "too reliable" 

[SinHarvest64]

Tidbit on Mazda 787B. This car could have Revved up to 11500RPM making 900+HP. It's quite possible that this car could have revved pass 12000RPM making 1000+HP which would have made a huge difference in racing prowess. But the car was limited @9000RPM making approx. 690HP for this event because of fear for technical difficulties. Also Mazda said that after the race the 787B was good enough to run another 24hrs!!!...This car was truly a lion in the jungle.

[SinHarvest64]

@metalboy30111993 Mazda was not sure if the car would hold up in this endurance race so they limited the car @9000RPM, which puts out approx. 690HP. The car could have ran @11500RPM/900+HP, but Mazda was not sure if the engine would last at that high rev. Initially the 9000RPM/690HP limit made the car competitive but not faster than most cars. Because everyone else suffered technical difficulties, the limit to the 787B was what made this car win that race.

hahahahah who would say in that moment that mazda will be winner ? :)

[hornetclassic41]

私は、ジャガーもプジョーもメルセデスも愛してる！

でもマツダはもっと愛してる！

マツダ最高ッ！

[sargatanas88]

@metalboy30111993 no, it was not quicker than others. Mazda won because they were more reliable, others like Mercedes and Toyota had huge technical problems, Mazda rotary run like a swiss watch, that was the difference that day!

[madnessbrah]

fk the japs sound weird

[binokoda]

Whether its four strokes, two strokes or rotarys, fuck anyone who tries to kill ingenuity or ban what they don't understand.

If I had my way, F1 would allow a choice of three engines rotary, two stroke and turbo four stroke, then there might actually be some exciting racing.

[ritzwanna]

get fucked you gay cunt! like the old rx7s and skylines at bathurst they got banned because they were to fast and fia couldnt slow them down enough! go stick your fist up your arse you piece of shit

[stekhouse]

i just love the 905

[bidurvisu]

i hope everybody knows who had the fastest lap during the race :) (michael schumacher)

[MetaKnightsKirby]

The 787B started about 18th by the looks of it but by 2:13 it 'looks' like its up to third, though there may be cars ofscreen. Its not hard to spot in a crowd either.

[MetaKnightsKirby]

Oh no sorry, at about 2:38 its in 8th.

Fed up of japanese TV workers they show us during the race !

[Qffline]

The 787B got to be the most iconic LeMans entrant ever. LOVE it!

[QRXenomorphs]

The Mazda 787B's top speed might not be all that great (217mph) but don't let it get in front of you in a race with a lot of turns. It will leave you in the dust.

[APEZ94]

787b FTW first japenese to win a t le mans thats so awesome

[RX8SPYROS]

787B 4ROTOR -LEGEND-

[99oildrops]

one of my favorite racers EVER.*

[hletruck1245]

Sauber C9 is the best

[MOTORMOUTH2009]

I just wished all the old manufacturers would all get back into competing at Le Mans again.

It's somehow very hard to get excited over a Pescarolo or diesel Audi!

If Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, Jaguar etc. all entered together (not with these funny, un-sexy looking open top racers either) Le Mans would be immense again!

[smudgeandtaz]

go 787b

[Corvonix]

I wonder what happened in the qualify for mercedes, jaguars and mazdas get behind spices/ford cars in the start

[waterpolodan]

The rules in 1991 reserved the first 10 places on the grid for the new rules 3.5L cars, while the older regulation cars like the Merc C11 and XJR12 couldn't place higher than 11th no matter how quickly they lapped in qualifying. In fact, the fastest car that year forgetting the grid order was a C11, something like a 3:30, while the best of the 3.5L cars, the Peugeot 905, was around 5 seconds a lap slower.

[Corvonix]

thanks for the explanation ^^

[kossoff1]

just stupid,that's why there's C1 and C2,the french can't handle other countries winning their race,just like they changed the rules in '72 cos porsche were just too good with superior cars and engineers

[SpencerWhiteSTFC1]

Le Mans were totally against the 3.5 litre rules, and thats why Le Mans was not part of the World Championship in 1989 and 1990.

Eventually they backed down and accepted the FIA's 3.5 litre formula which proved a disaster for Sportscar racing.

[fighetto46]

0:39-0:42 were those the peugeot race cars?

[Slayer1989]

yes they are

[G4JMedia]

Interesting listening to commentray in such a different language.
