An icon of Gran Turismo, a legend of endurance racing.
The Sauber Mercedes C9 is often remembered as a dominant force in the old WSC category, realm of the Group C prototypes, with many icons such as the Porsche 962C, Jaguar XJR-9, Toyota 88C, Nissan R90CK, Peugeot 905 and many more.
However the path for the success of Mercedes wasn't as easy as it seems.
The car spent his early stages of life as a backmarker, usually troubled by reliability problems that prevented the team to show his real potential.
How did this car go from being a backmarker to the beast that dominated Le Mans 1989?

Group C is one of the best racing cars ever seen and what not to love about these cars: Innovative engines which rainged from turbo-charged monsters to the high-revving F1 like v10 engines

@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA 2 года назад

Completely agree with you :)

@woffelled 9 месяцев назад

And Wankel rotary engines as well!

@HATECELL Год назад

Fun fact: They went directly from C9 to C11 because C and 10 sound too similar in German and especially Swiss German. And the C doesn't stand for the class, it stands for "Christiane", Peter Sauber's wife. All Sauber cars are named after her, including the current C42 F1 car

@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Год назад

Wow, didn't know such fact, really really interesting, thank you for sharing! :)

@burnerheinz Месяц назад

concidering C10 would be pronounced ZeZae in my accent I can see why it was skipped

I the background music! brings back some memories of R4: Ridge Racer.

Jochen Mass, what a driver and career, he raced the fastest most fragile chassis, also in the deadliest era of the sport, to victory and fame. Watching this I asked myself how Jackie Oliver drove his 917LH to 386 km/h on the Mulsanne Straight in 1971. Wild wild days. Thankyou.

My recollection is that Michael Schumacher raced this car but there's no mention of him in this video. I recall he disappered from the F3 scene and I wondered where he went because Sportscar category didn't get much TV coverage but then he turned up at Spa 1990 and the rest is history.

@spyglass9188 Год назад

I started watching your videos through today and I got to say I don't know how did I not find this channel before, the music used is awesome and fits perfectly most of the time, videos showed and editing are both in the point and it feels like if someone was telling you a story, I can see this channel popping up soon, keep it up!

@stevemcrichards8768 Год назад

I do like the R4-esque layout and the R4 music. A really good tribute video.

@overbuzzy Год назад

A wonderful video on a perfect group c car from the 80s, I like the Ridge racer vibes too

@rc-jatodaniel 6 месяцев назад

This is my favorite racing car class of all time. My personal favorite cars among them is the Sauber C9 and Mazda 787B. The most beautiful racing cars ever built. Their engine sound is the best and match each other perfect. The roaring V8 in the Sauber together with the screaming Vankel engine in Mazda, just wonderful, absolutely love it.

@AKlover Год назад

I remember these cars from the Gran Turismo series, even I was too young to appreciate them in the time it happened. I think A modern racing series that was as close to unrestricted as possible would be successful given how modern racing has 1000 page rules and regulations books.

@michaelmeier9085 Год назад

Cars would be insanely fast nowadays.

@anibalbabilonia1867 4 месяца назад

That’s definitely my all time favorite race car! I even have the 1/18 scale models of those cars!👌🥰👉♥️the sounds that came out of that engine were music to my ears!!🥰

@stevecleaver8933 Год назад

A fantastic video with some truly amazing & awesome video footage from the various races mentioned. I would so love this to be a "proper" video , ie 45 - 60 ( or even 90 ) minutes long, but even this "shortie" covers an amazing amount & gives a break breakdown of the subject matter. Well done folks, keep it up.

Hehehe thank you, i love that game, have been playing it for the past few weeks and i am slowly getting all the endings. Actually i only miss the two Ouroboros endings. My favourite ending at the moment, emotionally speaking, is the Neucom one. That final scenes literally devastated me

@Jonathan-nn8fe Год назад

I always wondered what that chicane situation at Circuit de la Sarthe was about..

@grandicellichannel Год назад

May I ask if maybe you are italian like me? I'm just curious as an endurance fanatic and I am in love with your channel quality content! ...and I ask this only because you shown the paper about the 400 kph on the Hunaudières which seems coming from the italian's best car racing magazine, AutoSprint (or so it seems), your english is of course impeccable, just a slight accent. Answer if you only wanna do. In any case, have a great day pal! ;)

@Christoffski Год назад

956/962 were the most dominant, this just became faster, but this is also a very good channel.

@JustSomeDinosaurPerson 11 месяцев назад

They were definitely the most dominant over a time period. The C9 is more of a most dominant in a single season type of car.

The most notable accident of this time was the airborne flip and crash both in practice and during the Le Mans 24 at the hump near the end of the Mulsane straight. Shades of 1955 tragedy. What if that flip had occurred along the pit grand stand straight 💥⚠️😢💥⚠️

'How did this car go from being a backmarker to the beast that dominated Le Mans 1989?' - it's called money! There was a rumoured quote from Werner Niefer that when asked whether Peter Sauber had been given a blank cheque by Mercedes, he responded "no, but we might have given him more money than he can spend"

@MCPunk55 Год назад

400km/h? Damn! I've seen the Mazda 787B reach 420km/h but only on Racedriver GRID... and the car has six gears in that game... so yeah. But Damn! Why can't we have more games with cars like this? Group C was the bee's knees!

@JustSomeDinosaurPerson 11 месяцев назад

The 787B reaching that speed is definitely a fantasy lmao That car was a tortoise.

@mxrz Год назад

The Gran Turismo footage would be historically incorrect, showing the C9 going through one of the the Mulsanne Straight chicanes... since they didn't exist in 1989.

@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Год назад

I know, but that was the only layout available in Gran Turismo :/

@togera77 Год назад

@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA Gran Turismo 4 was fitted with the 2003-2005 layout, but also the same layout without the chicanes. you could have used the latter. or, visual quality wise, GT6 had the same tracks alongside the more modern ones with and without the chicanes
