The wacky world of twin-engine race cars
Просмотров 59 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Why have one engine when you can have two? That's what several people in the motorsport world have asked themselves yet few are brave enough to actually try it. And these are some of the wacky results, from cars with two tiny snowmobile engines to giant behemoths with two enormous turbodiesels. Not all of them proved to be that successful. But at least all of them were very, very cool. article/...
Porsche and Audi's Talladega speed records

The Talladega superspeedway is one of the fastest race tracks in the world. The track usually sees all sorts of NASCAR stock cars racing on it. But in the 70's and 80's both Mark Donohue in retired CAN-AM legend and Bobby Unser in a souped-up family 4 door saloon with Transam and IMSA ambitions went to the track to try and set some records. article/info source link pastebin.com/hhUiVNGF video s...

Porsche, together with Kremer, Joest and many others have made dozens of racing versions of the 930 generation Porsche 911. While they were all dubbed "935" almost all of them were unique.

The 1981 24h of Le Mans saw 10 different members of this diverse 935 family gather to duke it out for gt racing glory. S...

If you think Jimmie Johnson will be the first NASCAR champion to race at the 24h of Le Mans in a Camaro, then think again.

The American Renault that changed motorsport forever

It's a bold title but in my opinion, the little IMSA GTU class Renault 5 turbo from the early 80s has been the race car with the most significant influence on the motorsport world. It's not remembered for its racing pedigree but for what it set in motion. Without it, motorsport would have stayed too dangerous for too long, as the car led to the development of the HANS device. #renault #imsa #ha...

    Times have changed, now it's 2024, Lamborghini now have a factory backed motorsports division, "Squadra Corse". In this year's Le Mans, the two SC63s finished 10th and 13th overall in their first LM outing, with only a few minor incidents and no serious reliability issues. The two Huracans also finished, most notably the Iron Dames car in 4th position in LMGT3 after battling for the lead for the most of the race, but a few racing incidents cost them heavily. As a lifelong Lamborghini fan, I can proudly say that Lamborghini is now becoming a major player in GT and Prototype racing 🙂

FINALLY, THE UNLUCKY IS OVER A good 5 position in LMGT3 from Iron Dames and a very respectful good race on Hypercars (with the two cars finish, without any huge problems) Finally, after many years, Lamborghini finished Le Mans in a good position, hope for more progress and a better 24H of Le Mans in 2025.

Could you make several 2 hour episodes of the history of Lamborghini's attempt to enter the world of motorsports starting from the Islero up to their very successful Huracan that won its first ever 24 Hours Of Daytona and Sebring! Yes history of their failure of each car for each episode to their recent success in racing!

  • @awakenedsoul2638
    @awakenedsoul2638 3 месяца назад

    3 things held back Lamborghini from entering the expensive and extreme world of Motorsport the most expensive sport of all! The first thing you said was the founders interests, Ferruccio had this rule to never go racing! Lamborghini changed hands a few times from the 70's until the late 90's! From the Mimram Family, to Walter Wolf, to Chrysler, to Megatech Corporation the Prince of Suharto Indonesia owned Lamborghini for several years then finaly AUDI in 1998! This is because they lack money! And third LACK OF SPONSORS! Instead of Lamborghini to be supposedly the first one to be intersted to race, priveteers like the Japanese Lamborghini Owners Club (J-LOC) and a few more priveteers where the ones who had the balls to attempt to race their Lamborghini Supercar! Yes these are all a continuous string of BAD LUCK! But in anything you choose to do, you cannot just rely with your people, sponsors, money and skills, YOU ALSO NEED LUCK TO WIN!

    The craziest thing about the 07 is that technically, its built on the bones of the previous cost capped LMP2: The Oreca 05 (which itself was run by Rebellion in LMP1 as the R1). Any customer that ran this car and wanted the new car could simply have it upgraded to the new car since so many of the internals were relatively the same.

    4:03 "It's not clear what group was planning an attack" Actually we know exactly who was planning the attack, it was a breakaway faction of the GIA, an Islamic extremist group from Algeria. There was a report read out to the press during the 2000 Dakar airlift that explained the situation, the GIA had around 300 men over 40 armed vehicles ready to pounce on the rally as they passed through Niger. They were targeting Niger in retaliation for the Niger army's involvement in a 1998 campaign against the GIA in Algeria. The Niger government actually claimed to have over 2000 military personnel ready to protect the rally and were confident it could proceed as normal, but the organisers made the decision to bypass Niger completely. The Niger authorities actually saw the airlift as an insult to their country and claimed it tarnished their international image. There's a funny quote from rally organiser Roger Kalmanovitz about the situation; "I am not sure we will be welcome here next year" 😅
