As much as I loved IMSA GTP, I had always considered it the 'love child' of Group C and the constraints (SELL COMMERCIALS!!!, and KEEP IT SHORT) upon motor racing required by American television. Was home one night channel-surfing, saw this thing, and hit "record" on the VCR. Hey, at least they picked the right year to do it!
It's full of the usual MSM nonsense when non-racers talk about racing..but IMO quite a few bits of reality about our sport survived the process. And I could swear that whoever edited the video had seen Steve McQueen's movie.

I love the guy shoving the other guy out of the way in the first Jag pit stop...the old Le Mans pit lane was insanely narrow!

Can't believe this was on regular TV! I don't remember it being broadcast back then and I was following anything racing. I think it honestly does a pretty good job at showing the race too, for someone who doesn't know racing at all to even for die hards like us.

They showed the start on grandstand on BBC1, such was the interest in the jag, glory days for Le Mans

I remember this being broadcast. I want to say it was Sunday night. I had an RC12L road car with the xkr-9 body and silk cut decals that I raced. Thought I was Davy Jones.

Michael Andretti is the original Ricky Bobby: "2nd is first loser!" Wow, ahead of his time!!

R.I.P dear John, you was a bad ass driver, and a fighter, I hope God puts you in the place that you belong, with the greatest.

It was a privilege to be at this fabulous race even though I am not a Jaguar fan ;-)

I remember watching races like this many others back then in person. IMSA GTP and Group C is still by far the very best time to be a race fan. I'll pass on the modern era.

Classic '80 action, sights, cars, drivers, VHS, hair, fashion. Leslie Stahl's imitation of the actress Eva Marie Saint the American reporter in 1966 movie Grand Prix. Marvelous 🎙️📸🎬🎦🇺🇲✌️👍🏁

Very good! Thanks man!

@oldsccaguyyah9901 8 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I think the reason I kept it was that I actually work in TV, and how folks in MSM treat our sport kind of fascinates me. Even back then, there was an 'alternative media' for motorsport. Mostly cable TV coverage of the races, and magazines & 'newspapers like Autoweek, On Track, and National Speed Sport News.

@lracim1963 8 лет назад

oldSCCAguy yah Definetly it is. Im an old sportscars"geek" and i only regreat how hard it is to find more Le Mans racing videos, mainly from the 80s. The 962 series were kings of their time even in the US IMSA series.

@pascalfarful952 8 лет назад

Duke Video take a lot of Le Mans stuff down, often stuff they don't even own, like the ESPN broadcasts of the races. I had the 1991 ESPN coverage of Le Mans and Duke took it down even though they didn't even own ESPN...

@void308 8 лет назад

+Pascal Farful I presume this Duke video thing is a publisher of sorts, related to motorsport?

Thank You for this upload. I remember this race. You should change Your channel's name to ForeverYoungSCCAguy. Thank You so much.

wow - wonder if Leslie Stahl got an interview with James Weaver

@paxwallacejazz 6 лет назад

Michael Andretti for years wasn't respected the way his father was he was considered a dangerous irresponsible driver. I haven't kept up with his career but people who walk around with oppinions like that are nearly always Jackals of Mediocrity. Not wisened warriors .

@peterschoen7409 6 месяцев назад

Ssssssss according Derek Bell they nearly could have won in 1988 but slight fuel mileage problem. It had to do with the other driver can't remember his name Porsche not Jaguar.

@deggis4 9 лет назад

Thanks. I've been trying to find this for some time... This was upped here on RU-vid some years ago but it vanished. Is there something missing from the beginning? I remember there was a classic 80s music intro. :D And the original name was "48 Hours on the Fast Track"?

@oldsccaguyyah9901 9 лет назад

deggis4, Entirely possible that I missed the earlier versions before I posted it up. I was a young guy back then, and just stumbled across it while playing with the remote one night, and was surprised that a major network in my country was actually paying attention to my sport. This is another copy of the actual source vid, not something that a previous uploader had done with the old footage.

@deggis4 9 лет назад

oldSCCAguy yah I know/understand. But I'm sure the earlier different upload had an intro so at least that is missing from the beginning.
