LeMans video

GT-One let's get your facts rights please:

Toyota #1 didn't spin after it blews its tire while in the lead. At that time, the BMW LMR of JJ Letho was leading, with Toyota #2 of McNish in 2nd place... In fact, by hour number two, that BMW got the lead (it had better fuel economy), while the Toyotas were having some problems getting away from the pits (the starter motor was too hot. Remember, this was a very hot 1999 race), as seen by Brundle loosing the lead at the first stop to the Mercedes CLR of Bernd Schneider.
In addition, the Toyota #2 accident occurred while it was still in 2nd place behind the BMW LMR of JJ lehto...
Furthermore, the "japanese" Toyota could only try and gain 2nd place from the BMW of Dalmas (the one that won in the end) after that long night, as the 1st BMW was too far in the lead (2 laps)
Finally, only after the accident of JJ lehto at the Porsche Curves was there hope to the #3 Toyota, as it was still in the same lap as the BMW of Dalmas. However, two hours to the end, that Toyota was still 1 minute and a half behind the leading BMW, so it could only win the race if that BMW would had a problem. History though meant that the Toyota would suffer that blow-up at the run to the indianapolis corner...

BTW, being quick in one lap in endurance racing is nothing, nill, nada, nichts... To win in endurance race you have to have a fast car yes, but also it should be reliable, soft on the tires (and drivers) and have good milleage (basically, BMW won in 99 because it could run a lap more per stint than the others)...
 
I remember that years race, He held it well Katayama after that blow out. 200mph down the mulsanne actually come to think of it, was it down the mulsanne? or was it out of Arnage leading to the Porsche curves? no it was on the mulsanne. anyone confirm this?

Edit: Don't worry just read the above post again :dunce:

anyone see the inboard camera as the tyre blew? Calm cool and collective.
 
Yeah lets forget the Toyota GT-One and whats happened in the Le Mans in 1999 but before that I want to say my own words too. Yeah Toyota GT-One was quicker than BMW in top speeds and would have catch it before the race end. If I remember right Brundle leaded the race in night but collided with Porsche 911 GT2 car and was out.Then the 2nd car of Toyota had some other problems and like we all know Katayamas tire blown of as Toyota taked a risk to catch BMW. Its sadly that them didnt entered to Le Mans anymore in 2000 like the other LM-GTP cars too. Mercedes reason was in ok as them car flied in the air even at Fridays practise(twice??) but them decided to continue but the worst happened in the race(I think all remember that one).

GT-one is my favourite car of the Le Mans cars,in 1999 version the critics even said it has the best steering ever done to Le Mans car and like all knows it was fast. But the fact is BMW won the race and its not going to change anywhere.

Now back to GT4 Le Sarthe track. I dont understand why them has skipped the corners in the straight,does someone knows?? Also when you watch the starting grid you can clearly see that there is the MotoGP kind of starting grid in the main straight. Still waiting to drive in that track so much!
 
Yeah, I believe those two shicanes before the Mulsanne are beautiful shicanes and it makes the track nicer to drive.


BTW:GT-ONE vid!!!!!!!!!!!!please!
 
can someone post a GT-One vid from GT4???...and perhaps at Le Mans???
plzzz that would be great!

and to all you guys:
the GT-One didn´t win perhaps but as you said it was the fastest car on earth in 1999 and it could beat the BMWs when it didn´t have that bad luck(all 3 cars had problems!)but n the endeffect you´re right: the BMW won, but that´s not that important cause BMW knew that they won bcause of the LUCK they had and Toyota didn´t have

and the Toyota would beat the BMW on every track and therefore should be faster than the V12LMR in GT4, too!!!

EDIT: hey guxs!!!there´s a NEW video on granturismo.de!!!!!!
it´s about a SAUBER-MERCEDES C9 AT NÜRBURGRING!!!!!it´s about 22MB and AMAZING!!!
---->just get registried at this site(if you aren´t) and then click to GTRP LINKS--->Downloads--->GT4 & GT4P Videos--->and then scroll down a bit and you´ll find it!! 👍
GET THIS VIDEO(C9 yeah!!!)
 
i have this sauber vid on nürb!!..man the guy drives a 5:34 lap and gold is about 5:47!!!
ok i want to host it as pin the floyd did with his clr-flip video but how???..i´m on yousendit.com and there it says "recipients email" and what should i fill in there???....and how can i host the link to the vid on this thread???'##HEEEELLLPPPP'##
 
Unfortunately havent seen a GT-One video. Also I afraid that GT-One is slower in GT4 than BMW as its slower than Nissan R390 GT1 what I dont understand. In 98 Le Mans GT-One was already quicker than 98 Nissan R390 GT1 what is in the game. Anyway its sure us the Toyota GT-One fans will carry the GT-One for win to next win. Also its now less than a year when I saw the real GT-One TS020 Le Mans car was in sell. The price was 1400000 €. It was buyed to racing museum what sold it to the owner. Dont know is it in sell anymore but that day I wished I could have had those moneys,driving could have been too expensive :D

Also at the moment I am building a site for GT4 rally championship+Le Mans race to old and new cars. I hope this dont broke the forum regulations. I will info to it at somewhere when page is ready if I cant do it in here.
 
First of all, I am a Lemans Illiterate... But I absolutely love the cars, as you might have observed. And am always interested in learning more about them. Its hard but, you dont get much info in Australia about them.

Now, to my point.

Quick question - Since the Audi R8 is a very dominant car in todays racing, do you think it will be equally as dominant against the likes of ----- Sauber C9, 88/89c-v (Still undecided?? ;) ), GT-one, R390, R 92 cp, Bentley Speed 8 (INcredible design) etc etc.??

I was massively dissapointed with the newer Lemans type car in GT3 (for the life of me, cant think of the name, American car, looks like the Batmobile - Always forget its name, cause its that sought of car). Because it had Donuts against the big guns like GTONE, even a bloody ZZII.

Cheers, any thoughts/opinions would be well received.
 
you mean PANOZ ESPERANTE GTR-1???..you´re right it´s not that fast(and it even ran 2004 in some races, even at LM 2004!!seen it?) well i think the audi isn´t faster it´s REALLY EQUAL cause the audis performance and "powerful side" is NOT the fast one, but the constant speed it brought in All races it raced in. so audi is not quicker than GT-One, C9, Speed 8 but it is perhaps the most constantly good lap times-driving and most efficient(V10 FSI engine--->very efficient!) Race Car on earth but because of its aerodynamical disadvantage(LMP cars have NO roof as the GT1 cars so that they have a rather "slow" topspeed)it´s not faster BUT IT IS THE PERFECT ENDURANCE RACING MACHINE IN THE WORLD(BENTLEY , too but bentley speed 8´03 is nearly the same cause it has the audis engine, team, drivers,.....!!!)

Also its now less than a year when I saw the real GT-One TS020 Le Mans car was in sell. The price was 1400000 €. It was buyed to racing museum what sold it to the owner.

did you saw the ROAD or the The Race Version???.....and to whom it was selled???---> a rich arabian petrol owner??...i hope NOT!!..i hope it´s rather a GT-One Lo9ver, like me(just with a bigger BUDGET;>)
 
GT-One Lover

The second?On the first you fill in www.gtplanet.net, as econd your own e-mailm address and then send it! 👍 :)


BTW: Downloading a video from the Bentley Speed 8!!!!Stay tuned!!
 
What comes to Panoz them are running ALMS with that LM-GTS Esperante. It was new and I am sure them will got better all the time. Yeah in last year Le Mans them was with Panoz Elan what looks exactly the same than Esperante GTR-1. I just dont remember is Elan newer or older model. In Le Mans Panoz was in their best at LMP class with roadster and them even won many races in ALMS serie and was the only team to challence Audi cars.

What comes to that GT-One like I said I dont know was it sell to anyone. It was a racing model.
 
The panoz was also at sebring this year, wasn't it? That was a good race.

What GT4 will need:
for the HDD, download different decales( Champion Audi R8, maybe team GOH..hehe)
 
Can't wait for Le Mans to come again!

As for the question by R8ado, the audi sould be as fast as the bently and gt-one. I wish they had made the Panoz LMP-1 in this game, it was sick. But until gt4 come out, im stuck playing Total Immersion Racing

LMP-1 is available in "Le Mans 24 Hours" which is a better game than "Total Immersion Racing" Although I do like Sebring on "TIR"
 
ya, sebring is cool there, and im trying to get that game, but since gt4s comin soon, (and i dont make much money) im thinking of just waiting for it.
 
maaan we have some real die hard GT-one fans in this thread I see now as I was looking through all the pages...thats good 👍 :sly: ..anywho...a vid with the GT-one would be nice yes..if one hasnt already been done?
 
yes we have GT-One fans in here a lot I think but I think its good. Yeah I would like to see a GT-One video too with driven by someone good driver and its could be for the race camera or behind to car as all the GT-One fans could see the car! I cant wait to get it to drive at myself!
 
well I think its good too! 👍 and also I cant wait myself to drive it..Im dissapointed at GT3 version since it had so many faults in it 👎 :grumpy: ..so my expectations for this one is very high!
but I still have to wait untill march :ouch:

Toyota GT-one TS020 :bowdown:
 
The vid is down again .. can someone rehost?
