I am in love with race cars since I was a small child. I recently started to film videos to capture my experiences. My channel should be a place where we can share this passion and conserve it with videos for the next generation. You can expect videos about historic racing eg. F1, GT1, Group C, DTM, LMP900/LMP1, LMP2 and so on. Also some endurance racing.
ironic how it "destroys" the competition since when it raced back in the day it didn't finish a single race in all seriousness though this thing looks and sounds amazing. Great video mate
Back then, when the cars looked good, were versatile and powerful, the tracks were challenging and integrated into nature, the grid girls were out in the pits and the drivers were personalities. From the first row to the last. Every driver was an ace! Not much left today. Respectivly nothing!
According to Sir Jackie, this was the most difficult car he has ever driven due to the very short chassis (and he has one of these chassis at his own home nowadays). But it was almost a sculpture anyway...
If this car had been run by Brabham or Williams it would have been a championship winning car. In 1980, Jacques Laffite ought to have finished second in Argentina, first in Brazil, first in France if his chassis hadn't sprung a fuel leak and first in Britain without the wheel problem. It was the fastest chassis in Belgium, Monaco, Spain, France, Britain and Canada, and was pretty good in South America, Holland, Germany and Austria. It's speed at Brands Hatch was unreal, and despite my deep reservations about Didier Pironi following Imola 1982, I wish I'd been at Brands Hatch in 1980 to see his performance in the JS11/15 when he set a lap record which stood for about 5 years. I had a good look at chassis O1 at Silverstone a few years ago. It's a gorgeous car, fantastic livery, a brilliant ground effect car. I still think Alain Prost should have replaced Patrick Depailler from the French Grand Prix onwards in 1979, and who knows what Alain might have achieved in this car in 1980? We'll never know! I'm very pleased to have seen a JS11/15 in the Historic Grand Prix series in the last few years.
Hoje em dia, parece que a inspiração para fazerem essas geringonças atuais em que se tornaram os F-1, F-2, etc., que se parecem com um misto de locomotiva e trator, foi aquele antigo desenho animado, os "Transformers"...
@@carcrave7 agreed, during the 1970's in the can am series with Mark Donohue and George follmer in the l&m cigarettes sponsored Porsche cars . I also remember viceroy sponsored Mario andretti in the Indy car series. Yet most auto racing series allows alcohol sponsorship. The only time I see the tobacco liveries is at road America in the July vintage racing weekend.🏁🏁
Estava em Interlagos na reta de um quilometro o famoso "retão" em 1980 quando pude ver Lafiite e Pironi pilotando o JS11 que não venceu aquela corrida mas havia feito primeiro e segundo um ano antes com Lafite e Depailler
It looks like it was designed by a human with only a surface-level understanding of aerodynamics... plus, I am certain that a Macintosh II computer would not be able to impress all that much more than a Lotus 78 does!
