Jesus, that first corner speed is unbelievable
-
Car is so loud I can't hear the narrator...and I'm ok with it
-
I was there that day the noise of those cars was unbelievable , when they came past the grandstand the sound was insane
-
That V10! That sound! ...THAT sound!! I think my ear's just.. climaxed.

The TS010 is to this day the most aerodynamically efficient sports prototype ever designed. Period. Better L/D ratio out of the box than even the Porsche 919 and Audi R18. It was hobbled from the start by significantly lower power than the Peugeot 905, inferior tires and minimal aero development despite being 20% better than the 905 aerodynamically. Consider this: If it had used the available Renault RS5/6 engine and the active suspension/semi-auto gearbox from the Williams FW-15C it could have easily set a sub-3:10 at Le Mans in 1993, faster than the 2017 TS050 lap record. Long live Tony Southgate!

The drivers Wallace and Ogawa both broke ribs during this testing marathon because of the force through T1
-
Jesus christ that sound :O F***ing awesome!
-
It used to pull 4G's round that corner, and at least 2 of the drivers got rib stress fractures over the bump after 2 weeks there.

Having lived through Group C from start to finish the 3.5L version of the sport only gives me a cold feeling, even when you can see and hear how spectacular they were. For me it was the nail in the coffin of Group C, probably as intended, as it killed the sport. At its peak we had Mercedes, Jaguar, Lancia, Ford, Aston Martin, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan and of course Porsche all running works teams at some point in time and when the 3.5L it became Peugeot, Toyota, Mercedes and Jaguar/Mazda pretty much and none of the privateers could go buy a 962 and be competitive. The best era I have seen in my 52 years, but 3.5L ruined it.

Any car that can take Turn 1 at 300km/h without lifting is incredible...
-
compare this to the F1 of today...I know what i'd rather go and watch!
-
For 1992 footage, it actually isn't bad at all.
-
As I have said before, in many automotive related videos, 5 cylinder and V10s are the best sounding engines ever design!
-
i cant be the only one who got the chills @3:12, right? lol
-
amazing through Turn 1!
-
This brought smile to my face and filled me with joy.And speed,that incredible speed in corners and straights,along with that orgasmic soundtrack from the V10-what a gorgeous beast.Shame Group C died. In my opinion,best thing that ever happened to endurance racing.

Why do V10s sound better than anything else ever since the dawn of time?
-
Turni in on first corner is UNREAL
-
The lovely and angry sound of a naturally aspirated V10.
-
now that's a race car sound!
