@@shirleyboy8859 but I quench that thirst by playing GTR2 and downloading the Le Mans 1977-1985 track mod and some Group C cars. I’m also running the 24 hours of Le Mans 1978 with the 935/78 “Moby Dick” in GTR2.
“Now the boys all thought I’d lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence. They said ‘Slow down! I see spots! The lines on the road just look like dots.”
Very cool.. have been there many times, and it was incredible. But it changes over the years.. from a pretty rural area with little to none facilities and services, where people drove from far away themselves for great entertainment along the nearby roads.. to a multi-national company actually changing the street-planning to accommodate the track, where buses of more or less drunk come to party, and see the most racing on the big screen in ready-built luxury camps
0:33 I was there in '84 and watched that corner for a while, it was a tight corner like at the end of your street and I couldn't believe they were going through at 90 mph
This was a Dome RC83 using a 4.0 N/A Ford DFL. Qualified 21st @3:39. The pole which was a Lancia LC2 ran a 3:17, so yes, there are faster cars, this one was full bore for a 4.0 N/A.
The speed record with chicanes was set in the first year of their existence by a 1990 Nissan at 366 km/h. Unbeaten to this day. Says just enough about the monsters back in the day.
@@WymiataczPlays Yeah, I know the incident. It happened due to a malfunction of the turbo cut-off valve of the given car. I'm not sure about the year you refer, I'll be back with confirmation. Yes, it is true, and was set by a Nissan R90CK driven by Mark Blundell.
