LeMans at full speed NISSAN GTP in car cam 

It's dome rc83

I agree. Furthermore, Nissan didn't compete at Le Mans in the early 80's.

But over 405kmh later in Group C.

@@sometimesidreamaboutcheese only in qualifying. You don´t rev it that high in race

@@W4CHHUNDi yup, full race requires reliability. this is why mazda 787b won back then.

@@W4CHHUNDi The WM did hit 405 in the 1988 race (not qualifying) although it knew it would blow doing it given they taped up the vents, the Jags were quickest at 389 in the 1989 race in ordinary conditions. The Merc did over 400k in quali.

Not to mention the start/finish line veering to the right to create a new run off on the hill up to Dunlop, the new Dunlop chicane and curve to the Bugatti circuit entrance, the re-profiling of the forest S's with the enhanced spactator viewpoints, oh - and 2 huge chicanes on the Mulsanne straight. The pit entrance was moved from the end of the Ford chicanes to Maison Blanche, just before them.

Mazda brilliance on the chassis & suspension as well.

@@BrattyBiker You probably meant Nissan, except if memory serves Lola was responsible for the Chassis.

That car is generating almost 9000 Lbs of downforce at full chat.

Ground effects

Ok

What I found intersting is Dome was uncompetitive and later it became the Toyota Dome partnership and we know how toyota became quit good in Group C and it all started with Dome

This transmission setup was made it specifically for this road with no check an on the way to reach the maximum speed..

3 years later.... and some of the gearboxes only had 3 or 4 gears, 5 gears wasn't as common as now. A family car with a smaller engine didn't need 5, and certainly not the 6-7-8 as modern racing cars. On one hand you can tune the gears to suit the track more finely now and have more options and pretty much no bad tracks, but back then you had all the power you needed when you'd hit the gas. Skoda's first model with 5 speed standard gears, was the 1988 Favorit. You could still find a 1,6 Ford Sierra in 1991, only 4 gears. I think it's 8 gears, that Toyotas hybrid transmission has in the 1,5 yaris

@@mortenfrosthansen84 Gen 3 Hybrid Yaris has a 7 speed CVT gearbox :)

@@2090skid ahaa I see

That gear is SO TALL!!!

J'attends le retour du bon vieux Groupe C, les LMP sont certes rapides mais se ressemblent trop 😉

Very close. This is a Dome RC83 using a Cosworth 4.0 N/A DFL

Not realy

@@ALPHABYTE94 You must be deaf 😂

No traction control etc, when driver actually had to control car not a computer.

They still do😏🤓

this mindset maaaaaad stupid

@@black.pewdiepie415 many have paddle shift glorified auto. To me a manual has an actual gear shifter not a paddle

True tribute to driver skill and multitasking skill. They had to make 2000-3000 manual gearshifts a race and even one misshift could cause a cluth failure and you're out. You needed true skill to heel and toe and think about which gear you're taking each corner with

Nissan V6's not straight 6

No chance, it's either Eje Elgh or Stanley Dickens (both great drivers) driving as the car is the 1984 Dome RC83i, it was destroyed shortly after this practice footage when the throttle jammed open on the downhill run frum Dunlop approaching the Esses.

Yes, but this was not a flat out lap. Anyone know who the driver is?

​@@thethirdman225 Eje Elgh or Stanley Dickens.

@@marks7197 Thanks.

Yes it's the practice session, either Eje Elgh or Stanley Dickens were driving as the car is the 1984 Dome RC83i, the car was destroyed shortly after this practice footage when the throttle jammed open on the downhill run approaching the esses. Dickens knew the impact was coming and pulled his legs back as much as could, he climbed out unhurt but looked back at the car and the pedals were where his knees had been!

@@marks7197 Thanks for that info.

@@thethirdman225 You're welcome.

R92cp if ams not mistaken? Or just r92

It's a Dome not a Nissan, although Nissans first Le Mans entry was in 1986 with two March built Group C cars, the 85v and 86v.

Also known as R89C?

Do tell, I just got a massive interest in older leamns cars. Back then it was cars with actual drivers not a computer controlled rig on 4 wheels taking care of most of the handling

@@andrestrandby9513 It's either Eje Elgh or Stanley Dickens driving as the car is the 1984 Works entered Dome RC83i, it was destroyed shortly after this practice footage when the throttle jammed open on the downhill run approaching the esses. Dickens knew the impact was coming and pulled his legs back as much as could, he climbed out unhurt but looked back at the car and the pedals were where his knees had been! This car had a 3.95 Cosworth DFL engine. To answer your other questions it's nothing at all to do with Nissan, the R89 and R92 cars were from the late 80's early 90's.

1984.

The C1 Mazdas were entered as gtps

@@hexgraphica That was later. In 1984 they were in Group C2.

3.95 DFL

They didn’t have the chicane back then either.

I can't go over 190km/h in my beat up Nissan Sentra without shitting myself lol

Slow xd

It was as quick as any went until '84 onwards so for this period it was quick. This is a Dome rather than a Nissan too...

Im honestly surprised it managed to reach 350kmh, with the weight of that man's brass "charisma"

Too bad that they changed the circuit. Imagine what the top speed would be with the current cars on this track

@@donoz82Megalodon It’s doubtful it would contribute anything to the racing. The chicanes create two extra passing opportunities.

Engine cannot last if you push it more than that.. only in qualification and shakedown spec, with special expendable engine.

What? You think that's slow or something?

because the cosworth engine.

@@thethirdman225 yes that is slow because the Porsches, Jaguars, Mercedes, Peugeots were going 20 miles an hour faster or 35 km an hour faster at 385 km an hour or 240 miles an hour

@@claudiomarangone614 Don’t be silly. What exactly does the extra 35 km/h - 10% - contribute to racing?

Yeah I think so, a Nissan would be much faster.

this is dome rc83

Not at Aston. That had a cross plane crank. Sounded nothing like this.

@@projectilequestion Not necessarily.

just the mazdas pre 787B.

@@JuanCarlos-tv2hu and Jaguar, March, Lola and many others.

@Jason Walat Yes. Many IMSA GTP cars have raced against much faster Group C/C1/C2 cars throughout the entire era.

No it isn't, in the 1984 practice sessions the fastest car on the official speed trap was the WM @ 363 km/h (225mph). The Dome wasn't as quick as that.

@@marks7197 It wasn’t far off. The Dome’s biggest problem was that it was seriously overweight at 936 kilos. But this speed is about right.

@@thethirdman225 The Dome was one of the quicker cars that year, not the quickest but it could do 350 or so meaning that graphic in premise isn't wildly off the mark. It's also a practice session so probably wasn't going at full tilt either.

@@thethirdman225 The Dorset Racing RC82 car with the 3.3 that actually raced in 1984 was overweight at 960kg in scrutineering but not the car in the clip, the Factory 3.9 RC83 pictured here was only 850kg which was less than many of the private 956's.

@@marks7197 The Dome was only fast on the straight. It was otherwise not very competitive. But I agree, the graphic is probably quote close to the mark.

You come to this conclusion how? It's obvious the speed is coming from the car's telemetry.

So what's your version of events then?

And you know something everyone else doesn't?

@@thethirdman225 and you really don't have anything to do.. ha smarty-pants? 🤣

@@vonPelger Are you going to provide some proof of your claim or are you going to insist on making this personal? What do you know that we don't?

@@thethirdman225 @TheThirdMan you actually meant that serious? Sorry about that then. So the acceleration is way off if you compare on the start/finish straight and at 2:05 where it accelerates in 3rd until 280 but at 0:20 it goes in 4th only to 250, at 2:15 it goes at about the same rpm to over 320. The acceleration at 2:05 is imense with about 6 -7 sec from 200 to 300km/h but at 0:00 it takes forever to go to 250. And on mulsannes straight the acceleration is slow. Braking speed until apex is not right, even on some gear changes the speed drops off but then not. So one conclusion: the speed was manually inserted be someone after the lap

@@vonPelger *_"you actually meant that serious? "_* Of course I did. *_"So one conclusion: the speed was manually inserted be someone after the lap"_* Well, that's interesting conclusion. I see your point of view but I'm not sure I agree. There's a pretty significant difference between the acceleration on the Mulsanne and the front straight. The Dunlop Curve gets in the way and even with ground effect, I don't think that was taken flat.

*_"Is this suppose to be impressive?217mph,the 917 Porsche, would have left it in the dust,with no computor,or paddle shifter."_* Oh my God. First of all, this car doesn't have paddle shifters. This was 1984. Secondly, the Porsche would have been uncompetitive through pretty much any corner against a ground effect car, which this was. The lap times might have been the same but the track was quite different, especially with the addition of the Porsche Curves. Finally, while the fastest 917 in 1971 was 362 km/h, the rumours about how fast the 917 was are pretty easy to debunk. So, looked at objectively and with some good background information, this is actually quite an interesting video.

😆😆👏💪

The Dunlop Curve was cool.
