Slowing down already past the bridge towards turn 5. Now, that's a fast car.

Back when Porsche succeeded both in looks AND performance Nowadays their cars are still good in performance but there's just no innovative unique design Of course GT1 also doesn't exist anymore, so this car just isn't raceable

not at this moment no, maybe a few times when they were qualifying on tracks with long straights. qualifying trim is the key word

thinking same.. & so nice to sear/hear it !! what a car..

Well it would make for a good video, not saying it is wise but neither am I.

this video has depressed me, for knowing that this car will never be ran the way its meant to be again. I want to see them beating the crap out of the car like it should, not prance around the track.

Well, to be accurate, they ran at about 100 BHP max, but you're right - they made 1500 at full boost and that's where they set the speed record in the US in 1975 after they were retired from racing.

Correction: *1500+* hp

To this day that is still the most powerful circuit car ever built.

1000+ Horsepowered beast.

fuck that sounds godly

that car leading le mans in 1997 in very first hour

This is such a great sound.

@PorscheBulgaria Yes, it is. (My point exactly.)

@Tj930 The engine of the GT1 is mid-mounted.

Very, very nice - ITBs and everything! Ignorant people seem to think all 911s are rear-engined and have their "engine in the wrong place" - the GT1 irrefutably disproves such a lame argument.

Now that's an interesting vieuw from this icon. Lucky you, for getting this close. Thanks for uploading! 5*
