TOP 5 - BEST SOUNDS OF GROUP-C

The second video in my TOP 5 series.
I would've put the Mazda 787b as number 1, but I just don't have the best footage of it yet. Only some slow and quiet demo laps at Le Mans and Goodwood.

Filmed with
Canon Legria HF G40 + DM-100 microphone

Big thanks to "Official motions" for the Top 5 countdown.

I think that's the best thing I loved about the Group C era: no 2 cars were same. There was so much diversity, from the Angel-like song of the Jag's V12, to the beastly roar of the Merc V8, to the banshee-like scream of Mazda's rotary. This was racing. No endless pages of rule books. No nannies to save your ass. Just you, and the car. As one.

The Mercedes V8 was a pleasant surprise. I thought it would sound exotic, but it sounded like the gnarly V8's I grew up with. The Mazda 787 never disappoints.

[liverydesign]

it is insane, the moment at 2:51, when both sounds of the C11 Mercedes and the Mazda merge together, creating an unique sound.

I remember standing at the Mulsanne kink about 2am back in 1991 and hearing the fantastic Group C cars howling down the straight during the night. They all sounded so different to one another. From the low bassy C11's, to the V12 7 litre Jags, then the flat 6 962's, and finally the ear-splitting quad rotor 787B - my absolute favorite, and it won!

I love how you can hear the 767b Scream even when its everybody else's time to shine

2:50 Incredible. The last time those two engine notes were heard roaring together was in 1991.

My alltime Favourite Sauber C9-C11.
Glad that i had the chance to watch and hear them alive...

[Faan-ivli]

Among the group c monsters, my fav is 787b. The unique engine design with orgasmic sound.

They say it can rev up to 11k rpm boasting 900+ 🐴 power but capped at 9k rpm with 700hp. The best part is, after finished the race in 1991(they won) the scrutineer found that the engine was still in perfect condition and ready to go another 24 hours.

787b lacked in pace especially down the mulsanne straight compared to the mighty sauber c11, but due to reliability they managed to grab the trophy and became the first japanese team to won le mans.

2:46 is just a glorious moment, the mix of between that brutally savage V8 screaming alongside the banshee like 4 rotor is just one of the best bits in this video for me personally

[detzuh]

Sauber and 787b running by each other was possibly the greatest sound I've ever heard.

[sillykanji]

I can't get enough of the 767-787-787B cars. They're just legendary. Japan killed it in the 90s.

[paulcaswell]

787B. The greatest-sounding competition car of all - whatever the discipline. Pure magic and always will be 🙂

[Hollandda]

Mazda 787 merece muito essa primeira posição. Esse ronco é inigualável.

[Cardey]

787B is one of the greatest sounding cars of all time, I'd have been upset if it came anywhere other than first (if you had the footage to go with it.)

[henningpieterjordan]

The crancest one is the mazda 787...for ever❤😊

[whiskeyactual.]

The Sauber Mercedes were my absolute favorite Group C machines, but these things are all phenomenal. We will never see racing like this again sadly. What an era this was.

[Jan-wzdq]

The upshift of the Peugeot at 4:07 was just heavenly 😫

[デンデン-ej]

やっぱロータリーが一番だよね😄👍
あの独特の音、間近で聞くと感動すらするよ😃

[kamikazezen]

全部いい音なんだけど、4ローターは別格やwwww
何回聞いても鳥肌立つわー
