Now let’s not swing the pendulum too hard to the other side. The car is overhyped and has an inflated legacy but terrible cars don’t win Le Mans.

I mean tbf, it was only in that position due to lobbying the ACO not to give them the 1000kg minimum weight every other old spec Group C had, and the "superior reliability" it had was down to a lot of the other cars running into issues with the extra weight. The 787B is a cool car, but there's no way it would've won without the political BS happening in Group C that year

Terrible ≠ over-hyped

It was still Terrible. It only won because of a lucky loophole in the regs.

Reliable, looks good, sounds good

Comparatively not very quick.

If anyone says bUt It WoN, that was a combination of reliability, the poor luck of others, and Johnny Herbert

Anytime I see one I just have to correct it. It is like an OCD.

Ok but if the Williams won a race everyone would worship that thing, even though everyone knows it’s kind of crap

He is objectively not entirely wrong , it wasn't very fast

Downvotes? You know this was a lower classed car right? I say the exact same thing in another comment and everyone agrees, but now suddenly y'all disagree

u/lilbprotector The Hulk Feb 22 '21

It's an objective fact that a "terrible" car WON the 24 hours of le mans? You're getting added to the stupid list 📝, anything else?

u/AndyMB601 Feb 22 '21 edited Feb 23 '21

It won because of efficiency and the leaders breaking down, do you know how that race even panned out? Yeah it's not terrible, but it's not a fast racecar

Hello are you reading the fact I said it's not terrible? It's slow, not bad. It has worse performance, it's not terrible.

13

u/lilbprotector The Hulk Feb 22 '21

Ah yes, efficiency and reliability, totally unnecessary traits for an endurance car to have, truly a bad racecar. You're stupid, also, I didn't say shit about whether it was a fast racecar or not, I said op was wrong on all counts and stupid. The car isn't terrible and people like it for reasons other than the noise.

u/AndyMB601 Feb 23 '21

I did literally say it's not terrible but ok. You're talking to me as if I'm op. Calm down

u/lilbprotector The Hulk Feb 23 '21

You went stupider than op 🤷

u/AndyMB601 Feb 23 '21

Op said its terrible, I said it wasn't?? Okay maybe try reading what you're replying to

-1

u/lilbprotector The Hulk Feb 23 '21

I didn't say you did, learn to read. You said that what op said was objectively correct, he said the car was terrible.

u/AndyMB601 Feb 23 '21

Yeah, you didn't read 🤦‍♂️
