Aston Martin, Chevy Vette and Ford:
*killing eachother*
Ferrari: i'mma take that GTE Pro victory, thanks
True
Ferrari, in the crossfire: it’s free real estate
@@alexandreantille8067 correct
Corvette has beaten ferrari in a lot of places too 😀
@@Knockthefout where? The 488 is gt3 is the most winning gt car ever.
I love close, packed GT racing like this. The battle is intense & high possibility of contact make everything possible.
Yeah I love f1 but this is amazing in love how the machines are not all to spec. Different bodies and so on. I hope this influences the way sports cars look and operate because these are all based in real super or sport cars
@@dominicviner6619
I love it how everyone agrees that the GT classes are the only reason why people are watching le mans.
Not surprised that the 1998 le mans race is widely regarded as the greatest race in the history of le mans.
Nothing but GT cars were on that grid
Bro que Opinas tu de la Nascar ?
@@FriendlyCroock 2023 24 hours of le mans:
@@Jesko. To be fair, they weren't wrong at the time. With Toyota basically running a one horse race in LMP1, GTE was hard carrying WEC for a couple years there. Glad to see the top class filled out again though.
What a race 💪
A V-12, A TwinT V6 and a V8 walk into a bar...
Which one is V12?
@@fajarastanaprima2771 The Aston Martin
@@user-bp2bf7tm3o err sorry brother, that Aston Martin now is V8 twin turbo sourced from Mercedes.
GT1 Version of Aston Martin was V12, thats true, but it has not been in Le Mans since 2010.
Aston Martin then switch to GTE / GT2 class with V8 Vantage from 2011 onwards
Then the new generation (as you seen here) since 2018 with new engine 4000cc V8 twin-turbo sourced from Mercedes-Benz.
@@fajarastanaprima2771 thanks for correcting me I didn’t know that
@@user-bp2bf7tm3o my pleasure, no problem brother
And I thought the race is at the end then “why are they all packed” and then I noticed it is at the beginning
I still thought it was funny. Aston qualified first, and as an award for getting 1st, they were given a 25kg weight ballast. Like wtf? why?
That's how le mans works these days
Because the ACO is sucking some FIA d!?k...!
@@StarChaser027 Why is giving Aston Martin additional weight considered as "sucking FIA's dick"? Is Aston Marting the enemy of the FIA or how does that work?
That's not even funny thats just stupid. Only devaluates the competition. And it's not like quali is a big deal in a 24h race anyway
They thought Ford still owned them.
2019 has such a sweet GTE line up. Sad that Aston has also left gte for 2021
Considering that the LMH/LMDh lineup is already absolutely killing it, we will also see an incredible GT3 lineup. Endurance racing is back at it's golden days.
@@afa1515 You have no idea what you're talking about.
The LMH and lmdh classes aren't even slightly related to GT1 if this is what you think.
GTE however was. And it's sad to see them throwing this class away.
@@FriendlyCroock I haven't even compared it to GT1...
And also DPis as well in IMSA 2019 🤤
Gt3
all the better for having radio-le-mans commentary
It is indeed the best hands down. I watched the nbc coverage of the daytona 24 this past weekend and i had to mute the tv and listen to radio lemans just cause it is so much better
@@alanluscombe8a553 Yes. Great race. I watched live via the video link on IMSAradio.com www.radiolemans.co/imsa-live-video-stream/ It has the full Radio Le Mans commentary. Don't know if it is blocked in the USA as NBC has the rights.
The number of manufacturers competing in GTE at Le Mans was halved in the space of one year.
2019: Ferrari, Porsche, ford, Chevy, BMW, Aston Martin
2021: Ferrari, Porsche
@@aydankhaliq2967 Corvette will be back unless something changes between now and then.
@@nathanstroud2223 they will 100%,with new c8.r
@@michaelgoldson8522 i will root for Chevy this year since I'm really tired of those old two
@@aydankhaliq2967 it’s Ford
If this clip was a few minutes longer the Corvette overtakes the Aston
Nascar came on the other day it was 80 degrees outside I went and cut the yard trimmed the hedges and line it up with the weed whacker...😁😁😁✌✌✌
Man I miss this boys now I am obsessed with LMDh and LMH it's been 4yrs this line up has been sunked 😭😭😭
Vivement le retour trop Wonderful
Oo waw todos los pilotos haciendo su mejor esfuerzo🏎️
las mejores 24 horas de le Mans de mi vida y espero que siga así
I'm gonna miss GTE a lot
Rest in piece, GTE Class
2011-2023
What is the difference between GTE and GT3?
@@CobraFerrariFth GTE cars are roided-up GT3 cars built for endurance races like Le Mans, while GT3 cars are built for customer teams in just about any series.
if u count the days when it was known as GT2 from 2005-2010, it was mind-boggling how many cars entered and manufacturers entered
Aston Martin
BMW
Chevrolet
Dodge (entered the Gen 5 Viper from 2012-2015, won the United Sportscar Championship's GT LM class in 2014)
Ford
Ferrari
Jaguar (entered a GT2-spec XKR in ALMS by RSR Racing with Jaguar, was forgettable)
Lamborghini (entered a GT2-spec Gallardo built by Reiter Engineering (not a factory effort) in ALMS, also forgettable)
Lotus (entered a GTE-spec Evora in the ILMC and ALMS from 2011-2012, was kinda forgettable)
Panoz (the Esperante GT LM won in class at the LM24 in 2006)
Porsche
Spyker (the factory team (Spyker Squadron), entered in the LM24 from 2002-2010, although the cars were also built by Reiter Engineering)
The golden era of the GTE class, i miss them a lot
GT racing is the best!
The GTE lineup is cool.
If you ain't first, you're last.
Just watching this cuz 2020 has been cancelled..... it always comes round my birthday at 17 june 😥
Well Le Mans isn't cancelled though, it just got postponed to September.
@@Maenfy Thank god
September is MY birthday, ha!
@@DrEnforcile You will have a nice birthday then it seems like ;D.
Pootis Man same
Cool
Le Mans 2019. I was there 🥲
Look at some of the new C8R Corvette races they are dominating now. Corvette number 1 !!
Man, without the B.O.P. Corvette is an absolute shit
@@adri593 Elaborate
Came second in their class this year and the first le mans for the c8r definitely has potential to kill ferrari and porsche
@@byrdland5790 57 you are absolutely correct. The C8R is going to dominate all of the future races which was Chevys goal since the 1960’s, with Zora Duntov. I wish he was alive to see this now. Personally I think the C8 Z06 R will kill Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, Jaguar ect. The European’s are running scared of the Corvette that costs half of what their top super cars cost.
@@craigthescott5074 just talk blah blah blah
🏁👌
👍👍👍
GT Pro ❤
Put wings on these machines n u r gud to go !!
gold era for GTE racing
now it's dead, ACO needs to let GT3 cars compete to see something in GTPro
they have
I have good news for you
Too bad the ACO screwed Aston martin. Aston got pole, and were then handed a smaller restrictor plus more ballast for the race. Had it not been for these penalties they would have been competitive in the race.
We have GT3 race on Le Man's in 2020?
There is the road to Le Mans event, there are no GT3 cars in the 24h race though.
the ford is SO good looking omg
Those Ford GT's are sooo restricted, its surprising that they can even compete.
There not restricted there 6 cylinders!! Ford made a huge mistake it should have been at minimum a V8. The new Corvette Z06 670 HP naturally aspirated is going to smoke the Ford GT for 1/6 the price.
@@craigthescott5074 lmao found the boomer. All jokes aside if I’m remembering correctly Ford got hit really harsh with BoP changes and had a really negative impact on the overall performance.
@@TNumbers the main problem is the cars over a million dollars and your not getting a million dollars of performance for that price. You should look at the numbers TNumbers.
@@craigthescott5074 But what is the point if bop is a thing?
@@TNumbers yea ok Chief the bottom line is the GT is way overpriced for the performance your getting. The C8 Z06 is a total game changer and the ZR1 isn’t even out yet. Ford totally dropped the ball on the new GT. If they were smart they would have built a car more people could afford like Corvette does. But instead they built a million dollar unicorn that performs like a $150K car.
Sdds dos lS2
Aston martin 👍
They probably spent 5 million in the development of that Aston just to get it to finish a lap. The Vette and Porsche were picked up from some roadside used car dealer, and the drivers were just like… yeah I can work with this.
all the cars were *based* off on road cars, however, they're not from the production line or dealer
the gt was always under bop to the rest of the field
The last ford gts at le mans weird thing to see
00:50
“ chap go take each other then I will take the lead” ?!!!!
1:22
“ no he didn’t he dropped so far of the track” !!!!!???
Please woman return the microphone to the man.
Am I wrong to get excited about Hypercars?
I miss when this wasn’t a dying class
Ikr? If this 2019 GTE Pro line up that could challenge with 2024 LMDh/LMH as well 👀
Corvette is the best love this car!
Where Im watching this races?
...are you...
Bruh the fords again running safe goddammit build a car that can go balls to the wall like that vette did
I just love the CR.7 Corvettes
they were actually pretty nice to look at
Corvette
Sucks how much Ford was screwed over by the BOP in the WEC over the years
If BOP wasn't a thing, these Fords would probably lap the entire field.
But in terms of BOP for this race, they were ok.
They deserved it tbh, that gt was basically a prototype racer anyway
@@zXPeterz14 you obviously don't know what a prototype is. There have been a few GTE cars developed the way the Ford was....smh
Each team gets reamed by the ACO's BOP...its actually killing the class.
@@corsamode not really hey, it would be a lot more exciting to watch. All the GT cars would be so much faster but each car brings unique strengths and weaknesses and that would make this class way more attractive to watch or participate in...BOP evens out performance to the cars similar
people who don't like Balance of Performance the types of people who play MW2 with an Akimo Model 1887
"People don't like balance of performance" Yeah because watching one team zip off and leave everyone for dead is really entertaining to watch -_- NOT!
Jules Porter It forces the other teams to better their cars. Which makes for very interesting and unpredictable racing. It was a feeling like no other when you were on the edge of your seat not knowing if Ford would win in 1966. It was actually a competition. With bop. WEC and IMSA just choose who they want to win and slow the other cars down. The races are artificial and very predictable and therefore boring as heck. Now you know who’s going to win based on who they didn’t slow down as much
@@evann5451 Yeah, but BOP allows closer racing. Most people don't like "dead" racing (ie: Formula 1). That is the reason why the 2021 regulation of spending was put in place.
@@evann5451 Le Mans back in the day would have cars win by like 8 laps. I get where you’re coming from, but I’d rather have close racing where the drivers and strategy plays a part, not just car performance. IDEALLY, BoP doesn’t change the order, it just compresses it closer together. If you bring the fastest car, you’re still likely to be the fastest. If you bring a slow car, BoP isn’t going to help you much. It’s not like you can just build a shit car and rely on BoP. That’s not always what happens, but it’s what they aim for.
Also, reliability can’t be BoP’d. You want to be fast but also not burn up your tires, handle well in wet conditions, and be reliable.
Plus it keeps it from becoming a spending competition and increases car counts.
People will always complain, whatever is done, but I feel like it’s more of a benefit than a hindrance when done properly and not too heavily.
Man, that Ford car looks hindered. Like it ain't got enough horsepower. I swear some of these races be having dirty officials.
BOP, so yea, kinda dirty officials
The ford is not powerful enough to fight with corvette or Austin Martin
More like Ford and Chevy embarrassing Europeans
i havent seen any of them on the podium?
@@stevexx2308 you obviously have not looked hard enough
@@raymondchapman5990 there was ferrari and 2x porsche on the podium.
@@stevexx2308 you said "I haven't seen any of them on the podium". You didn't specify one race, the way you said it means you never seen any on the podium. Haven't means something different than didn't....it's just common sense sentencing.
@@raymondchapman5990 Okay,stull less on the podium then other European cars
God that ford GT is trash in straights.
