1992 Lime Rock IMSA Prototype Race Directors Cut

The cars seen in this amateur video I shot are the IMSA Prototypes from the 1992 Lime Rock Memorial Day Race. The last scene features the start of the Formula Mazda support race and all that that implies...

By popular demand (one person asked nicely) I have recut this clip and muted the music track so you can really hear the engines. I also changed the ending slightly and added two slow motion scenes.

This version is for all the motor-heads out there, myself included, who love the "music" that race cars make. Most "normal" people won't get it.

Hey, I was there as well! I used to go to all the IMSA races at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock Park. GTP and Camel Lights were a great era of sportscar racing that came a bit too late compared to Group C in Europe. Perhaps the reinvention of the Wold Sportscar Championship for 2012 will bring big grids and great designs.

It is great seeing the Lola Nissans, AAR Toyotas, Spice Chevy, Mazda RX7-92P ... thank you for bringing back the memories!

Back when prototype was truly epic.

No prob. Here's hoping they get their Le Mans invite for winning Petit. They weren't running the '09-spec rear wing, so the ACO might not give it to them.

sorry, I just misread the comment.

[DBoy02]

I said if the right team brought it over to LE MANS they could take an LMP2 victory. Not PETIT Le Mans.
