This car was built in Valparaiso Indiana...I sat in it in 1988 at 8 years old at the popcorn festival. It started an obsession with sport cars and the color purple.
1:15 - MP-4/4!!!! Can't tell if it's Senna or Prost though - probably a test driver. This era of F1 and sports cars were incredible - personality and performance. Great vid!!!
When Sir Stewart made his comment about Apply Yourself, he became my new God. When he spoke about the silk cut carrying her weight out back, i bowed my head in accord. As HE explained how he wrecked the car in the corner....I was, DUDE! ME TOO! thank you Jaguar. Thank you Tom Walkinshaw, Thank you Polyphony Thank you Gran Turismo (4,5,6...)
I heard that one of the XJ's was almost totaled by jackie from the XJ's Le mans documentary. To be honest tho great man dont get me wrong but i mean back then there would have been a major difference between a single seater (F1 car) and the XJR-9 cause F1 car's where stupidly light with no safety features untill jackie put a stop to it, now the sprint XJR-9 I dont know much about but the endurance model i know, so if they had the same fuel tank which i dont know it would be how jackie describes.
Hmm, I know that they tried a double overhead cam on the sprint cars, but it lifted the cars centre of gravity and destroyed the handling, so they went back to a SOHC. I wonder if this was the DOHC version. Btw im not trying to give Jackie an excuse.
When he admits it was his own fault, the accident, he is just infinitely humble. Great man, great man indeed.
The 80s was a golden era for motorsports. Massive power, evolving aero and materials, legendary drivers and huge tobacco sponsors. And Dunlop tyres.
Jackie Stewart Crash Tests the Jaguar. To his credit, he accepts blame, admits to the error. Great driver and a true gentleman.

A very modest man not afraid to admit he made an error,a great ambassador for Scotland
JYS - what a legend and a gent. will there ever be another like him?
I wasn’t born before he retired but my word what a hero
I think that car that passed by at
Wonderful I formation
LOL - So articulate about the reasons why he smashed the car
In Gran Turismo 6 I have the same problem with the car. It slides a lot but if you counter steer the car follows the front wheels.
awesome car its the best!
the panels covering the rear wheels where designed to be easily removed. they were there for aerodynamic efficiency

That was the nicest way to say the car sucked.
