On the 100th anniversary of the running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France, and the 75th anniversary of Porsche, Mobil 1 and Hagerty Media are proud to present a documentary on the intertwined, rich history of this storied race and the most-winning brand to ever cross its finish line.
Narrated by actor/racer and Le Mans podium-finisher Patrick Dempsey, this documentary features a mixture of archival footage with firsthand interviews of Le Mans winners Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell, Allan McNish, Nick Tandy and Patrick Long as well as with notable brand enthusiasts Rod Emory and Spike Feresten, plus future Le Mans hopeful Loni Unser.
This film also illustrates the strong and direct connection that the Porsche brand possesses when it comes to developing new technology on the track and translating that into the road cars that enthusiasts know and love.
-------
About the film: Racing with Giants: Porsche at Le Mans is a collaboration between Mobil 1 and Hagerty, who chose to partner with with two-time Primetime Emmy Award and Peabody Award winner Robert Dalrymple and his production company to produce a film that will connect the race cars to the road cars they inspired, showcasing Porsche’s engineering expertise and unprecedented history of dominance at the world’s most grueling endurance race.

• Nick Tandy: 2015 Porsche Le Mans winning driver and current Penske Porsche 963 driver
• Spike Feresten: Podcast host, television personality, comedy writer
• Rod Emory: Renowned restorer of Porsche
• Patrick Long: Former Porsche factory driver
• Derek Bell: Five-time Le Mans winning and Formula 1 winning driver
• Jacky Ickx: Six-time Le Mans winning and Formula 1 wining driver

It's a promotional video ... with due respect to their racing heritage but claiming that 911 Turbo has a linear delivery of power or that 959 was the world's *first* supercar should be a hint ... also part about people losing their mind over 959 is a blatant lie ... they COULD NOT sell them then ... F40 outsold it at leats 10 to 1 ... so next time please Hagerty don't pass it as a documentary - you should be better than that

@mjvdr 11 месяцев назад

*1996 911 GT1. They were not officially called 993's and the '97 and '98 ones were definitely not called 996's, as they were developments from the '96 GT1, just with different bodywork and lights. Sorry for the nerdy comment, but it's a very common misconception, so I'm trying to spread the word as much as possible. Oh and regardless of its name, its definitely an amazing car :)

Ever since I discovered Le Mans as a kid, I'm completely fascinated by it. Due to the nature of the track there's just nothing like with ridiculously long straights (especially before the chicanes on the Mulsanne straight) and it produced some very interesting cars that clearly had a lot more focus on top speed. Watching cars do 240+ mph in the 80's was absolutely wild, and to this day the race at Le Mans is an annual get together for me and my friends as we watch the race from start to end.

@lubricator 11 месяцев назад

Great video! When it came across my feed, I opened it with the intention of only watching a couple of minutes now, but I found it so interesting I couldn't stop watching and continued on to the end. Now, I look forward with great anticipation to this years Le Mans.

Racing in general Dakar, Le Mans, Daytona, Baja, F1, KTM, Porsche, Ferrari, NASCAR, GT, Indy, Cart, drift, flat track, dirt track, motocross, endro, adventure, this is one of the best documentaries Ive ever seen on racing and probably is the best Porsche documentary Ive ever seen. Good Job Hagerty Media and Mobil 1. So many little quotes and clips and supporting media, no British guys mispronouncing it.... its packed, the footage its awesome, really enjoyed it. Thanks. Really. This is everything thats good about human beings, Its the best of what we are made out of and what we can be and do, you literally have to leave the planet to up the game.

@jeff69cpl 8 месяцев назад

Probably the best mini-documentary about Porsche and Le Mans I've ever seen, glad that YT recommended it to me. I wish it was a little longer (60 minutes maybe) because I feel like the ending was rushed (the Porsche 919 part feels too short and too much information was missing about what happened at the time) but, despite of that, great production, great cast of Porsche legends and the info was amazing, I learned a lot seeing this. Really loved to see this as a Porsche fan, all the success that the brand have in Le Mans as (maybe) the most successful manufacturer in endurance racing, thanks for this Hagerty 💛💚

Favourite Porsche race cars for me is the 917s, short and long tails, followed by a very close second, the 935s...beasts of vehicles. What's so amazing is how Porsche won so many races, and classes, in the era, right up to the 956/962s...beautiful cars too, were powered by air cooled engines. You don't see that happen again in this day and age. Never be repeated again.

I am so glad either met these guys or know them because I see them two or three times out of the year and I’m talking about the ones that are in Los Angeles. If you ever meet Patrick along, he is a very nice guy if you ever meet him or maybe some of you guys have met him Bruce Myers very nice guy. I see him three or four times out of the year maybe sometimes more than that depending on what type of car event is going on and I want to say thank you to Pelican Parts for letting them use the garage the workshop thank you I always love looking at those cars in the garage and last release when I first saw the 959 when they were filming and I couldn’t believe who was driving the damn car Jackie Ickx! Because I don’t live too far from where they were filming up in Palos Verdes, California. Well, thank you for this video.
