Qualifying Le Mans 1977 - on-board Porsche 936/77 Spyder 

This video gives the impression that the only cars racing at Le Mans in 1977 were Porsches, he didn't pass any other type of car!

Remember watching this over and over again at the 24h hours of Le Mans museum when I was a kid. My grandfather used to work there and bring me there every wednesday afternoon.

Even back then Porsche had the smoothest gear changes.

Beautiful sound and great onboard.. This car must have been a blast to drive around with all that oversteer. Really respect the old drivers to do this for 24 straight hours..

Le Mans with no chicanes ! ... Great !!!! Thank you for sharing this awesome video.

Uhhhhhhh..... From the fastest point on track, braking into the slowest 60km/h turn... I would like to see those brake discs in the turn - shinning like a sun.

Old but gold

A lot of 911's :)

2:43 truly skill

360km por hora...isso em 1977, incrível.

@clebercoxaroots : Well over 200 mph in those days. Le Mans has since added two chicanes to break up that long straight-away because otherwise the speeds would be insane.

Great footage! Passing 911's GT3 like they are standing still. This is how the A-holes in Los Angeles imagine themselves when they are speeding around in traffic driving their BMWs and Mercedes. Just my observations since I live there.

Very nice. He was really moving on those long straight stretches. Thanks

Porsche 936 the legend of the LMP class of all time ;)

on the hunaudieres i thought the speed was like 250km/h but then the porsche came/stand(by) by =b then after mulsanne, how quick he was when he overtook the 2nd porsche, having for sure like 30 or 40km/h more speed then the porsche. imagine the acceleration since he had the same speed as the porsche, but when the road was clear its just like a rocket thruster :o sick!

FANTASTIC porsche

Aww, that was lovely!

Great years...

Fucking beetles blocking the way...

Durch die Kurve mit 340

If only the track had the straight without chicanes still. would be epic!

Awesome !

I'm thinking this means use a new machine to perform faster among other Porsches, or just a pace car.

Peugeot 412 km/h

@S4T4NG0SS 380km/h in 1970 with the 917K or 917L

The 936! *****

What's the max speed? Over 300? The center line pimp in Straight 1:25

how the fuck is the mike hawthorne video better quality than this one? it was shot 20 years earlier whatever man i'ma watch this shit like it's 4k

the max speed of this 936? somebody knows?

ickx was fast

Like F1 engine sounds today but i more like Porsche 936/77

-eyes

em wow

that SOUND my hair are up

Note: "...an AVERAGE speed" of almost 195mph.....that's AVERAGE speed for 24 hours. Utterly amazing.

No telemetry... -_-

nach die porsche curve, alles in dritten gang........

@stekhouse Ickx wasn't human. I wish I knew the days when racing was real. And dangerous..and designed for young, stupid playboys with wavy hair and easy smiles who wanted to die just a little...*flips his wavy hair and smiles easily*

Not like forza 4.

OMG that car made the other cars look like they were stuck in first gear.

The top speed difference is huge on the straight! Amazing!

Others times... Miss them

its incredible how peaky those engines were ! Hard to drive

@OfficialNonsense No,and it's irrelevant to say such.

1:58

Langsam = slow

Porsche rules !

Die heutige Streckenführung verläuft anders oder?

I hope the 919 wins Le Mans this year

Now just another Volkswagen Property, depressing. No way Lamborghini and Porsche should be part of the same Company, no damned way 🙁

This is way too hot!
