If anyone struggles to understand what Group C was all about, why it was so special from 1:59 minutes forwards. That shot from 1989 (I was there and in 1990 too) the last time the full Mulsane was used is all you need to see. That's it, summed up.

Such a waste. If these chicanes have been added it's primarily because the FIA has decreed it will no longer approve a circuit with a straight line of more than 2 km. Despite this, Mark Blundell reached 366 km/h in qualifying for the 1990 24 Hours.

Yes, it's about the same distance on the SS113 (6 km). The only difference, the road is perfectly flat and straight, along the railway line, with no safety rails (or very few, at the time). You still had to have "big balls" to drive at more than 300 km/h on this straight line. My thoughts to Nino Vaccarella.

I understand why he might of thought of that, but he wasn't driving a fast car, else he would have thought of it differently. He was heavily influenced by Jackie Stewart, who was not a long distance driver, don't forget. Vic Elford spoke of how he was the first driver who ever took the kink at 245 mph...in the long-tail 917...in the wet...at night. It took him a long time to build up the courage to try it. When you see the same kink here, you can't really understand it.

Fast is relative and Cevert called it dangerous and he was right. I don't know in what reality 320+ km/h is not fast. *_"He was heavily influenced by Jackie Stewart, who was not a long distance driver, don't forget."_* Cevert was a man with his own mind. In any case, it's been proven absolutely that Stewart was right on every point: seat belts, guardrails, fire marshals.... *_"Vic Elford spoke of how he was the first driver who ever took the kink at 245 mph...in the long-tail 917...in the wet...at night."_* I've never heard Vic Elford say anything about taking the kink at "245 mph". The highest speed ever reached by a 917 long tail was 362 km/h ((224.4 mph) in 1971. The error is that the drivers and mechanics calculated it from gearing and revs, which is not accurate. Here is Cevert's exact description: _"Then comes the big bore. Third gear, fourth gear and we're into fifth about one-third of the way along the straight. Then there is something like 1 1/2 minutes at full speed, full throttle, weaving-through-the-mobile-chicane motoring, and it is quite dangerous."_ Okay, it probably wasn't 1 1/2 minutes but you get the idea. As one who drives racing sims on a regular basis, I don't know what the fear must have been like but as a driver, you just sit there, not doing much. I can see why he called it a bore. It doesn't test you and it doesn't make for good racing.

I'm just missing the part where Francois drove a car at Le Mans motoring around the circuit that fast, and how he was, therefore qualified to make that statement. Qualified as a fast driver? Certainly. That said, I mean not a whiff of disparagement to Francois. I think he was brilliant, and probably would have been World Champion at some point, but for his fatal accident at Watkins Glen.

Right. I doubt even that other group C cars attained 400 as the WM made its setup in function of breaking the 400 barrier, and succeeded. Never was mentionned at the time (I was 23 then) that other cars broke that barrier too. Probably they did get to 395, so OK for it being rounded up in this vid :-)
