Zakspeeds V8 Viper that refused to be bannedStijn Paspont2023-02-05 | Many race cars have been banned or slowed down by officials for having an unfair advantage. This applies to the dominant Vipers at the Nurburgring 24 hours. Except Zakspeed used every trick in the book to keep their Viper as competitive as possible for as long as possible. So let's find out just how fast this stubborn snake was

So what happens when we just completely get rid of them? no discussions anymore right? Free practice and qualifying sessions at the 2020 edition of the 24H of Spa Francorchamps prove otherwise...

That's what several people in the motorsport world have asked themselves yet few are brave enough to actually try it. And these are some of the wacky results, from cars with two tiny snowmobile engines to giant behemoths with two enormous turbodiesels. Not all of them proved to be that successful. But at least all of them were very, very cool.

The track usually sees all sorts of NASCAR stock cars racing on it. But in the 70's and 80's both Mark Donohue in retired CAN-AM legend and Bobby Unser in a souped-up family 4 door saloon with Transam and IMSA ambitions went to the track to try and set some records.

But how do they get made? And how come movies about the 24h of Le Mans always end up going just that little bit further to be able to capture the real deal on the big screen?

While they were all dubbed "935" almost all of them were unique. And while some had a few similarities here and there. Others had very little in common. The 1981 24h of Le Mans saw 10 different members of this diverse 935 family gather to duke it out for gt racing glory. So let's find out what exactly set these cars apart from each other, and which one was the best.

In 1981 the all-American Stratagraph racing team brought with them a highly unusual Camaro with dirt tracking roots and 3x Nascar champion Cale Yarborough to race it. So let's take a look at the team's performance in the '81 and '82 races and find out what the '23 Garage 56 Nascar effort has to live up to.

But while some of these cars are worthy of praise due to their ingenuity, others barely fit the bill. And operate within one of motorsports' biggest grey areas.
#racecar #motorsport #racing #rally #lemans #wec #imsa #supercarsThe American Renault that changed motorsport foreverStijn Paspont2023-01-30 | It's a bold title but in my opinion, the little IMSA GTU class Renault 5 turbo from the early 80s has been the race car with the most significant influence on the motorsport world. It's not remembered for its racing pedigree but for what it set in motion. Without it, motorsport would have stayed too dangerous for too long, as the car led to the development of the HANS device.

Back in the 80s, there was an ambitious plan to radically modify a Holden Commodore and to race it at the 24H of Le Mans. So join me as I take a look at this forgotten racing prototype and find out just how special it is, and why it was never completed.

It's without a doubt one of the most popular race cars in the world but that does mean its relatives have fallen into obscurity. They too were Le Mans victors and built the foundation the 787B now lives on. So let's leave the 787B for what it is and talk about every other rotary to win at Le Mans.

So what was it like? Why did an American series race on the other side of the world? And why did we never see an event like this in Australia ever again?
