I remember being at this race and the trance Scott was in when he got out of the car at the end of the race... He had the look of a man possessed and this video showing him beating up his dash and steering wheel at a couple of points early on in the race demonstrated his intensity and pure desire to win. Good times, great post! Joseph
yes ABS. On off switch in fact which is why he went off. Half the track was damp, half dry. He was trying to turn the ABS off but missed the switch and he missed his breaking point.
Update. And this from a reliable source in the race that day, that the reason Scott was at the back of the pack at the start of the race was because he blew the turbo waste gate, apparently the replacement that was found at the track from a civilians car and taken off and mounted on the race car, was found to be extremely modified after the race by tech officials. Many of the participants found the car to be extremely fast down the straight. This still remains a great drive! !
It was spitting on half the circuit. You'll also notice he would flip a switch on the dash during the lap to turn the ABS on and off depending on where the track was wet or dry. The reason he went off the track that one time was because he missed the switch and locked up the tires!
He is screaming at the fact that he missed the exit of the corner the way he wanted to, to get better acceleration specifically out of the s's were the track has a long portion of un interupted bends were he can make up on cars. That 2 miles an hour faster out of an important exit goes a long way at the end of that run. You will notice that when he gets the exit right he pumps his fist.
That year, I was there at every race but I never saw much racing... I was working on my car as I ran in the 1988 Honda/Michelin Series. It's great to see it 30 years later... LoL! THX!
Tremblant is my home track and I have run there several times on it. Richard Spenard who finished a head of Scott use to be my instructor, he was Gilles Villeneuves driving partner during the Formal Atlantic ( Direct Film) circa 1973 I think ) days before Villeneuve was noticed by James Hunt (F1) who got passed by Villeneuve in an Atlantic race ( @ Trios Rivieres) and gave Villeneuve an introduction to one of the F1 teams of the day the rest was history as he ascended into to F1.
i am here this race.... Jacques Villeneuve(sr(uncle) first race and drive first time Porsche 944 take the pole position and win the race that is amazing... And Scott Goodyear maybe is the best race ever or your life !! Villeneuve sr is phénoménal !!
Je me rappelle j y était, ,,superbe course de Scott,,,, et Jacques Villeneuve était en 1 ère place à des années lumières en avant......pôle position et victoire..30 seconde d avance.
Tricky Ricky was pretty good, and did finish 2nd in this race behind Jacques Villeneuve Sr., but Goodyear won 3 of the first 4 races in 1988 and won the championship ahead of Spenard.
@translogpk Only partly true. During tech, officials somehow broke some sort of valve inside the turbo plumbing by deciding to blow into it with a straw! Porsche nor any teams had any replacements on site so a donor part was found in a local car. I don't know of it's condition post race.
Forces his way past half the field early on only to an offtrack excursion by mid-race. Then, fights blurry vision with rain, oil and @26:30 a scorched oil cooler line in the third place car. Flames and all.. Never gives up, never backs down, curses and pounds fist every time he misses the short apex onto the long lefthand-downhiller.. and comes in 3rd. How would've Gilles finished from 24th with the extra boost? Any 944 owner must covet this as the best example of our car's racing potential.
Okay, so since everyone has brought up how fast this car was, were all these tuned to the same specs, but this one ended up faster because of the aforementioned broken valve? Or did this guy's team just excel at tuning cars?
@ffffaffff Actually that's his ABS light. Back then you could turn ABS on and off. And that's the reason he went off on that one lap as he missed the switch heading into the corners and he locked up.
No need for real-time commenting, this driver's reactions tell you everything! Just curious, was he disqualified for having an aftermarket part on his car, and what year was this?
Take a look at 26:30 mins. Guy goes off, high centers, ...OHHHH! Can you say "OIL PAN!" Surprised that Scott stayed behind him that much. I'd have been off line quickly.
Great race. How did you start so far back on the grid? You clearly out drove everyone up through second place. Another lap or two and you'd have had second.
Ahhh, I think you are the only one that knows that. From Wiki: "On February 16, 2013, having recovered and returned to racing, Villeneuve suffered another serious accident whilst competing in Valcourt, sustaining a leg injury. He left hospital ten days later."

no paddle shift, no ESC, no ABS. Real driving, PURE driving!

Pure determination. A hungry soul. If he would of started in the top 10, he would of had victory!! Great driving. Shocked the tires lasted.

In our province of Quebec we use to call Richard Spenard King Richard, on the track he was and still is that good.
In it to Win it! I can’t tell if he really knew how to drive a 944 or if he was really angry. Great driving
Scott semblait avoir 30-40 lb de torque de plus que toute les voitures en re-acceleration.... great drive !
Hey Stéphane!
Cé toute dans l'pied droit... tu'l sé... ;)
DawgPro pas dans ce vidéo....
Il appuyait plus fort que les autres sur la pédale grace au poid supplémentaire de ses énormes couilles d’acier.
Did he have cheat codes activated?
Thanks for posting this John. Absolutely riveting despite the old Handi-cam quality. That was THE golden era in Canadian Motorsports.

This reminds me of morning rush-hour traffic on the Palmetto here in Miami.
Great video... thanks... My Friend ownes this car now and I see why.. its fast

Simply raw racing at its best!
Scott drove the friggin wheels off that Turbo 👍💪🤘
Nuts these are sick track cars. Scott Goodyear has this one by the balls.

What a captivating race. Riveting
i am here this race.... Jacques Villeneuve(sr(uncle) first race and drive first time Porsche 944 take the pole position and win the race that is amazing... And Scott Goodyear maybe is the best race ever or your life !! Villeneuve sr is phénoménal !!
1988. It was not an aftermarket part, just part from a street car at the track. Series officials approved the move ahead of time.
awesome vid. ! uses nicely the whole track and quite much the car aswell. Nice to see that some can push so hard,
Real racing.
This really shows how physical racing is.
Drives just like the one in Raceroom!
Pain! Is what those tires is feeling.. the clutch must also have felt the strain
Great drive by Scott, thanks for posting!
Great Video, just shows you what can be done where you're fired up :)
what a great driver and great cars!
No, I mean Jacques Sr. It was Gilles that dies while driving for Ferrari in F1. Jacques Sr. was his brother. Jacques Jr. was Gilles son.

Lifeson Fan he would have won if he was driving a RED BARCHETTA 😀
Fearless...
Okay, so since everyone has brought up how fast this car was, were all these tuned to the same specs, but this one ended up faster because of the aforementioned broken valve? Or did this guy's team just excel at tuning cars?
He was gaining 100 feet on them under braking, so it wasn't the turbo valve.
@ffffaffff Actually that's his ABS light. Back then you could turn ABS on and off. And that's the reason he went off on that one lap as he missed the switch heading into the corners and he locked up.
Jacques Villeneuve Sr im assuming is the uncle right? Gilles brother?
yes is the brother not the son !! the son is shit !!:)
@@MrGILREED, The "son" is Formula 1 World Champion... You ?
Yes
@mrN3w7 not a 100% sure, but i think iwas because the wiper blade kept coming on

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Fun4Video2 ah yeah i figured the turbo part was a given :D
thanks!
Great race. How did you start so far back on the grid? You clearly out drove everyone up through second place. Another lap or two and you'd have had second.
who are you talking too lol
Ahhh, I think you are the only one that knows that. From Wiki: "On February 16, 2013, having recovered and returned to racing, Villeneuve suffered another serious accident whilst competing in Valcourt, sustaining a leg injury. He left hospital ten days later."
What steering wheel is that?
Scott liked a 3-spoke design as opposed to the standard Porsche wheel. Don't know the maker.
Momo
Are these cars 944's?
Power difference in the role
4:01 Need new pants.
What is he screaming at 3:00!?
These cars were faster than 911's. Some still consider NASCAR being racing. After watching this they might change their minds
PF Real Estate Group very good point! I love his passion behind the wheel
13:38 scary as fuck! Not a lot of run-off there
i think you mean Jaques Villeneuve JR, SR tragically died as we all know
A 944 with mechanical problems??? Say it isn't so !! 😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🍺🍺🏁
If he hadn't gone off he could have won maybe lol!!
@crash86ed 944 Turbo's
damn about to crash all your cars LOL
