Generic WHL 166. Who are you?

Welcome to the thread for the Weekly Hotlap Challenge 1'66 - Who are you?



This week's challenge is inspired by the film called "Ford vs Ferrari" or "Le Mans '66"

Challenge
Hotlap:
Cars : Ford GT40 & Ferrari 330 P4
Track: Highlands Long


I like films. The cinematic experience on a big screen is a great way to be told a story.

Motorsport and movies have gone hand in hand for decades. Paul Newman was a top Hollywood star but also a very accomplished racer. Shooting for the film "Winning" he caught the racing bug. He placed second overall at Le Mans in 1979, winning in class. He also won in class at Daytona in 1995. At the age of 70.

There have been other famous films too but the latest one came out last year, just before Christmas. It's named Ford vs Ferrari in North America & Le Mans '66 over here.

It could easily have been called "Miles & Shelby". Ultimately that's what it's really about.

I guess most people here will have seen it. Lots of folks who are into cars & racing history will know what happened even if they haven't seen the film.

I enjoyed it immensely and even my Mrs. was entranced at the end, despite having been dragged there with low expectations initially.

Anyway, if you've seen it, you'll have your own opinion. If you haven't, it's well worth watching.

On to this week's challenge.



We don't have Le Mans on console. For these cars I prefer a road course with a very long straight. It is an easy decision.

This gives a dilemma the WHL has never faced before. This challenge has already been (half) done. Hugo posted the GT40 on Highlands Long way back at #42. I decided to go with it though. These cars thrive here. We also have a ready made leaderboard of our own, never mind RSR.

Ferrari biased video.

 

Perfect! I actually watched this yesterday, best film I have seen for ages.
Apart from the laughable English accent Bale is again annoyingly very good despite being a complete ***t

First attempt crashed at the end of the big straight, obviously I am blaming the legendary brake fade
Then got 2 clean ones in, first one a 59 then this 55.

Crashed first go, then put in a 56, then crashed, then this 54, then crashed,... you get the idea. Think I prefer the Ford

 

Damn you guys are good!

I'd give my left herniated nut just to break 4 minutes!

Couple of restarts due to braking issues, then got this one, then was nearly a second up by a third of the way around but spanked it again. Dangerous track!

In this case, @LeiF and I completely disagree. I find this car is turn... and catch it! Hang on for dear life at every corner.
Finally made it round, nerves are shredded!
Set up is stock apart from engine limiter, tyre pressures and shorter transmission.

Was trying to get exactly the same time for both cars. Ahem.
This car is much easier, got this on first "hot lap" with totally stock set up apart from pressures.

The sound reminds me of one the best eleven minutes of film ever made, "C'etait un Rendezvous"

I'm sure, being car inclined, everyone here has seen it, but it's worth a refresh, and it features cobbles:


Count the gears and guess the revs for an idea of speed... it brings the beautifully coiffed hairs up on the back of my neck!

 

I remember this. I always thought the sound didn't match the visual.

It looks slow.

Ponderously slow. Watch it with the sound off. It's Grandma driving to mass.

I find the Ferrari easier but it haemorrhages time on Cabhag to the GT40. My Italian is topping out at 185 but Detroits finest is kissing 200.

Yep I had almost exactly those speeds too, the Ferrari makes up for it in the corners I think, feels like you can throw it in a bit better whereas you have to be more measured in the Ford.

I would say on a track without a big straight the ford would struggle to keep up but here I think the GT40 has a slight edge.

 

Guys,regarding the film C'était un Rendezvous @moodyryder is correct.My father was french from Paris and grew up in those areas shown in the film.He watched it and straight away knew it was fake.He knew the streets like the back of his hand.He worked out some timings from various start and end points and there is absolutely no way that that Ferrari was being driven that hard,the maths did not add up.If I remember rightly,i'll need to look at again but i'm sure my father pointed out the reflection of blue lights in a shop window as the "Ferrari" goes by.
When I first watched it I was blown away until I watched it a second time and then rang my father who was watching at the same time and as they say rest is history.

 

@Totall Wrytoff -Hope i haven't upset you my friend

 

I'm Irish Canadian (Kelly), My wife is French Canadian (LeBlanc). Neither of us could give a rats ***!
It's just a movie for Gods sake!

So, I forgot to screenshot my 3.55.910. Either way, not very good laps to my standards. Still not sure about the tune ive got on it right now. I definitely am leaving time on the table at multiple corners not rotating enough to get back to throttle quicker. Also need to work on not letting the car get too loose on entry and over rotating (backing it in with too much rotation, catching and then going). Its definitely been fun relearning this track though. Very tricky to go really fast.

Think I will skip this week. I watched the film 2 weeks ago and tried the gt40 round norforshlife, even though I don’t know the circuit. It really is undrivable for me. After half hour I can’t get a clean lap here it’s just tooo long for me and the vintage tyres are not helping
Good luck everyone!
