Le Mans 1988 highlights - Jaguar topples Porsche 

beautiful cars with beautiful engines

I absolutely adore the Jaguar XJR-9, one of the all time greats of endurance racing along with the Mazda 787B and the Peugeot 905.

I was there sitting above the Jaguar pit from 2am in the morning when I sneaked into the pits without a pass, till the end of the race. Fantastic memories.

5 Jaguars! I don't think anyone has the money for that in todays Le Mans.

Finally some content on WEC ! Please hit us with tons more in the future, the championship deserves it. Together with F1 and WRC the 3 crowns of motorsport. And F1 shadows everything else. Even the crappy rallycross or FE get lot more attention.

Man I WISH Group C was still around today....it was before my time, but I cannot get over how amazing these cars were.

Ah, 1988. The time when the WM88 broke the speed barrier at 400 km/h (248 mph) at La Sarthe famous Mulsanne straight

This is a video series I can get behind

Can you please do a highlight for the '70 , '91 , '89 and '66 24hr races ?

Those silk cuts cars were beautiful le man has had so many memorable cars, 917, 787b, gt40s not like the newer cars which all very similar

After watching this I feel so lucky to be good friends and neighbour to Andy Wallace, who drove with Dumfries in the No. 2 Silkcut.

Please 1968 Le Mans. When everybody said that those Fords GT-40´s were obsolete, The Magic of John Wyer and superb driving by Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi, proven otherwise against Porsche also.

Those pit box are so claustrophobic

Jan Lammers wins; one of his finest victories. He just wrote his autobiography, great reading!

The Silk Cut Jag is my favourite Le Mans car, after the Toyota GT One.

I understand they put in the chicanes on the Mulsanne straight but man was it epic to see these cars do more than 230mph on that piece of track

Brings back memories, as I was there. I have slides on Kodachrome 25 from the race.

Was there in my new Jag' Sovereign, 4 days old. Met another jag from Switzerland outside tete Rouge stopped traffic but no one complained as they studied the New Jags. Happy memories.

I remember watching this live. It was fantastic! Especially when Sarel van de Merwe overtook the Jaguar at the start of the Mulsanne straight and then the Jaguar slipstreamed past again!

Amazing cars. I was lucky enough to look inside an XJR-9 last year.

Jagwahhhhhhh 🤘🏻🇬🇧. Just bought another XJR6 ! Love it

Anos 80 e 90 melhores tempos do automobilismo.

This is really the only way for me to emjoy motorsport content. But I enjoy it a lot.

Must say the old headlights on TV feels like I am watching Cosmos again :)

Yes , I do remember this fine fight for victory ! This was a race I will always remember. The prototype cars of that time looked way better then today! And the prototypes had a real battle on the circuit, also way better than today. The last victory celebration of Toyota looked so silly without one, two or three equivalent competitors. From start to finish it was clear who will finish, also years before when Audi had no competitors with their diesels. The Le Mans Automobil Club should be careful by handling the prototype class. Otherwise the race would be uninteresting for a lot of TV viewers. But thank you for this video and I know the spell " in earlier times all things were better!" but in these two years 2018 and 2019 the old time was! Greetings!

That was a proper grid and race in the top class. Not like the one horse farce we have this year and last..

シルクカットジャガーはやっぱりかっこいいい

What a coincidence that i just drove the jaguar in gran turismo sport

Man so many great things happened when I was born.

Damn, THAT was pure endurance racing. No complex regulation, no penalties, no BOP, no double grids between the spectators and the track. The fans could feel the speed, smell the race !

Wish we could have this now

Quite a year for Jaguar, not only did they win in Le Mans, but several months earlier they upset Porsche at Daytona as well.

I loved the Jaguar XJR. The low style that is conscious of the highest speed is the coolest.

Special aero dynamics that set rear wings height lower than roof was one of impressives at the then Le Mans 24hours race before iconic long straight ruined 1990 by FIA.

What a fantastic race. I cried behind my Ray-Bans when Jaguar won. Will never forget that weekend!

So no one has a clip of the fastest car ? The Peugeot wm88 broke the speed record that year reaching 252mph on the long straight

Look at all the people in the pits, safety anyone...lol. How times have changed!

How the hell is there allowed to be some many people in the pitlane with refueling?!?!

What's the name of the song??? Just soo nice for racing videos.

5seconds penalty for not saluting your viewers :/ jk its cringey btw

Group B are beast in Off-Road Meanwhile Group C are beast in Track with top speed +300km/h and maybe even +400km/h Thanks for Gran Turismo 4 to introduce me XJR-9 & Sauber C9

And I was there !

2 Mazda 767s and one 757!!!😎😎😎

That start of lemans 88 seems like start of le mans on 2001 when the three audies were in first second and thrid position

Forza Jaguar!

😢🏁RIP Johnny.🏁😢

" Nunc est Bibendum " même sur les circuits inondés du Mans .

No mention of their gearbox problems at the end of the race?

RIP johnny.

jaguar special cars number one very very well olli mono mononen

Can you do an highlight of the 1999 le mans please.

Le Mans became a snoozefest today of Instagram influencers and other noobs driven the cars

This is lovely and I would like to see the Mazda one. However, the title spoils the thrills of the race a bit. Edit:. Johnny Dumfries leading is something I never thought I'd see.

wonder how fast these were compared to the later years cars?

How did they change lthe rear tyres if theyre covered??

Anybody know the soundtrack name?

Do the 1955 incident

Can you do 1991 please?

Grounds effects cars faster than an f1 car

Why the hell are all those damn people in the pits?!

race this cars on GT SPORT or asseto corsa with H shifter and clutch its fucking hard! respect to these mans

No Rothmans no win

Lewis Michelle Anderson Anthony Lewis Karen

When men were men. And pansies were a flower.

The Jaguar crossed the s/f 1 minute before the 24 hour mark and should have gone another lap. Being stuck in 4th gear that would have given the win to the Porsche. Rigged victory.

good good!
