F1 fan reacts to How Nascar was Faster than Ferrari at Le Mans!

V-8 - "Most euphoric sound ever."

3:28 Imagine that insane engine note, only forty of them are blasting past you in one huge pack, so fast and loud that the fluid in your eyeballs vibrates until your vision blurs. That is lap one of the Daytona 500, and then it happens 199 more times.

"And the standard engine restrictions in NASCAR came off" cackles in American

The G56 team also won the pitstop challenge outright without contention.

Fun fact about this in the piting tournament at leman the hendricks pit crew placed 1st in the tournament WITH A MANUEL JACK

Best part of the garage 56 car in that race was the amount of Euro fans that had to scramble for excuses when it absolutely smoked that many cars

I don’t understand why some people in the comments appear hurt by this car like it’s a threat to them. Good on this team for getting a rise out of so many fans! Obviously the car is a success

The Garage 56 Camero has to be one of my favorite race cars to ever grace a track. NASCAR is what got me into motorsport as a whole, so seeing a NASCAR stock car tear it up in the 24 Hours of Le Mans was amazing.

NASCAR stock cars have a unique exhaust called a boomtube, looks like a funnel that’s been flattened. It helps evacuate exhaust gases and keeps backfires while decelerating from splitting the exhaust open

That car's engine noise is absolutely glorious. It gives me goosebumps and sends shivers up my spine if I play it with my home theater speakers.

I loved the comparison of the engine sounds as they went by. There was definitely no mistaking that V-8 as it came through.

Retired guy here: I believe you. My wife and I only got into F1 3 years ago, so you're ahead of us by quite a margin.

F1 like everything else European, started out like a "gentleman's sport" you know? It's interesting and refined and - then you have Nascar,

Which Nascar's roots are straight up from the days of prohibition where small fast cars were used to transport illegal alcohol across the states. These guys would later race each other, see who had the best cars, and after Prohibition and the war was over, they needed something else to do and boom Nascar was born.

The fact that Duct Tape is a "surprise hail mary" kinda thing to the announcers in F1 - but a "standard move" by Nascar announcers also kinda goes a long way to show the difference between the 'culture' behind the two sports.

if you haven't already, you should definitely react to Ross Chastain's "Video Game Move" - not sure which video would do it justice, and a lot of people made videos on it - but it's definitely... an interesting maneuver. lol

The guy was wrong about one thing which is NASCAR has been racing at road courses since the 1960s. His comment made it seemed like they only started in the last 5 years or so.. They have had at least two races out of their full schedule at these type of tracks. Lately NASCAR has added more tracks (COTA, Chicago Street Course, and Charlotte Roval) to name a few.

i used to race at the amateur level in drag racing in the USA.
one of the fastest people i ran against ( and lost to) was a 20 something girl with a sleeper subaru wagon.
she was cute enough to fool people but you could always find her by herself tinkering with her car between heats.
racing and shooting are the two most genderless sports. youre good or youre not, based on your skill, your practice, and your dedication.
Cheers from the US.

That is the major difference between American cars and European cars. American go for power and Europeans can run at high speed for a long time. But that is the reason European cars are more expensive to own, you have to keep them tuned to run right where as our V8 can have a cylinder missing and still run.

That Chevrolet race V8 is not even making half the power its capable off, without forced induction. If you ever get an opportunity to buy a Chevrolet race V8, sell everything and buy. They are torque and horsepower kings.. The only problem why Chevrolet switched in Endurance IMSA and WEC is because they are also thirsty. Cadillac does not care. They took Chevrolet engineers and had them build a Cadillac Race V8 , its awesome!

I had a 429 in a 1955 ford truck. The sound of a v8 is heaven and how it shaked the truck was badass.

Also just putting this here the power in nascars engines have been lowered since the 90s and 2000s they used to run closer to 1000hp

This was impressive, even though they were running in the unregulated experimental class. If you haven't seen it, Ford v Ferrari is a good movie and based on a true story. Carol Shelby designed the GT40 so that Ford could beat Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966. His three Fords finished at the top in a dead heat. I'm a fan of Shelby for his aftermarket Mustangs, but this is a great movie. Matt Damon played Carol Shelby and Christian Bale played the English racing engineer and driver Ken Miles.
