As a native Michigander the Michigan M should be actually dubbed the the Mejier M as that is a Famously Michigan company that was founded in Grand Rapids. Also I am shocked at myself for living in Grand Rapids at that time and not knowing that this event ever happened.

I had no idea this existed

I always wondered why they put Vautier in the Huertas car instead of just putting Davidson in it. Since Davidson didn't qualify either car, he was going to have to go to the back anyway. Since Vautier qualified the 19 car, I think he could have kept the position he qualified for.

Can we talk about that move at 2:01, my god haha

Now that area looks so different. I hope they bring a race back to Houston one day

Born and raised in Niagara Falls. A few years ago I found a framed Niagara Falls Grand Prix poster on Marketplace with an original ticket. I have it hanging on the wall in my office now. Such a unique piece that will be forgotten with time.

I grew up in Niagara Falls, and was born in 1988. Had zero clue this ever happened there. Never seen an old newspaper clipping, sign, or any sort of memorabilia from these races. I'd love to know what streets and parking lots were used for the circuit, knowing the area quite well spending 35 or so years there.

you can still buy a brand new Formula for today .... see Ray Race Cars.

Dale Coyne's current season also deserves a similar video in the future. They already had 8 drivers in the two cars in 10 races and bottom 2 in entrants standings.

I mean it’s cool and interesting to see all these street courses that have run with some form of motorsports whether it’d be something everyone has heard or known about or ones nobody’s ever seen or heard aside from those who’ve been there or have watched said race and why they all stopped racing there. Especially in a time with a ton of street courses being run at some point whether they’re good or bad from F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, IMSA, etc. and ya occasionally get that one person when a former street circuit is mentioned and they’re like “ha street circuit closed down cause all street races r bad lmao” when there’s more to it and after some has brought around 100,000 fans. Which honestly a comment like that I feel like is more from angy Facebook boomer NASCAR “fans” just being salty that the Cup Series doesn’t race at (insert random asphalt or dirt short track in the middle of nowhere that people barely know about and can’t hold more than 8,000 people) and just use any excuse why the Chicago Street Course shouldn’t exist.

Sörnäisten Rantatie = Sir-Nay-Sten Ran(d)-ta(r)-di-a Not perfect, but it's a start. letter with ( ) <-- these is meant to be silent. "Nay" isn't really pronounced like such, it's vocalisation is more like æ than just a.

ByKolles, the worst* underdog of Le Mans. But i can't help but having respect for them trying still years after years despite so much humiliating setbacks.

how about a circuit in the Caribbean with the curaçao Grand Prix

Great team, great story, great video. Thank you.

Thank you for making a video of this team. Might not be the best, but they always kept trying, despite all the setbacks.

Lmp2 king

Made it till the end, this was painful. At what point does one say enough is enough? Also how did they make the money to keep running again and again? I'm guessing there wasn't some big queue of sponsors waiting outside their door.

Maybe they can use the top 10 US Drivers from Nascar to PAIR with the top 10 AUST Drivers in a 60 LAP RACE with Changes to Drivers and all that stuff.????

I think they ran an old Audi Diesel LMP1 car for a season or two you didnt mention

As a romanian idk if i should be proud that we did have an lmp1 team at some point or ashamed that it was a glorified lmp2.

I'm still baffled at the fact that they still somehow managed to find sponsors for YEARS despite the fact that their money would often go up in smoke (sometimes literally).

I appreciate the Veggietales DTM car to a high degree.

I swear to god Isottabros gave me serious ByKolles vibes and I don't know why.

I had a strange issue watching this video. I made it about half way through, but then my phone had a small fire. After putting it out I was able to continue watching, but had to retire my phone shortly after with a power issue.

Some people suspect that racing teams that always get bad results yet still keep racing for a long time are using motorsports for money laundering purposes

I just realized days later the videos are an hour long lmao

So couple things about early Kolles. Kolles had a major legal fight with Praga-Kodewa over the the original "Lotus" - I've a sheet of notes saved somewhere, but basically a magazine found a chassis plate which the team was hiding. And Kolles ran Audi R10's at LM, and didn't get a chance to again... Because he reportedly never paid Audi for the engines...

Ah yes, ByKolles. One of the team to exist. With one of the racecar to move.

Fantastic video. It is well beyond the level of a small UA-camr you are.

If an ARCA race is still green, it wont be green for long...

An hour long vid dog we eating good tonight

>new tyedye video >it's on my favourite lmp1 bbq >hell yeah

"...they would score... a ninety-degree, left-hander."

With how bad everything seems to go for them it really shows their passion and dedication since they still put in the effort. (Or its money laundering but idc)

although it was pointless i did cheer on the bykolles team, just a shame nothing ever come their way

I personally attended the track each year And I loved it each time

Fantastic video as usual. Loved it. ByKolles made good looking cars. Pity the operated like matchsticks on wheels. Look forward to more content!

I have to say that I admire the resiliance of the ByKholles team. They arrived with an home made chassis unlike their rival Rebellion, and tried as much as they could to make it work. They probably spent too much money on that looking at the results, by still, they tried until the end. They still benefited from the fact the WEC was lacking competitors in LMP1 class, but still, I love the privater efforts like this year Isotta Fraschini or the old Glickenhaus project. I really like this kind of story, for cars and teams that have been most of their time in the shadow. Very good video, keep it on!

Those aerokit cars are disgusting

Dillmann!

For years my favorite underdog. I never gave up on believing they could be competitive at one point. They never were unfortunately haha

After witnessing this year's Le Mans, I initially had no idea how the hell Isotta Fraschini able to finish Le Mans in their first attempt with ZERO reliability issues while having a less than ideal driver lineup than ByKolles/Vanwall ever did in all their attempts. Now I understand why.

I have always felt that this operation was probably some sort of money-laundering scheme. They were always slow, and they were always unreliable. The drivers had a habit of hitting walls, and the car had a habit of catching fire. They never had any notable sponsorship, and they never had backing from a major manufacturer (unless you count the trademark-lawsuit shitshow that was early-2010s Lotus). And yet, they kepts making major updates to the car, and they repeatedly made high-profile driver hires. They never found success and continually dumped money into the program, yet they never had any backing from which to draw these funds or made any improvements from these updates. The whole thing seems awfully fishy.

NIAGRA FALLS! Slooooooowly I turned. . . .

Ah ByKolles... The Silliest Racing Team on Earth™

I would have bought an LMP2 chassis and and modified it to get to LMP1 spec, but I'm not Colin Kolles, kudos to these absolute madlads and great video!

About time someone did a documentary on the ByKholles!!

They beat Rebellion fair and square - by being so slow that Rebellion eventually changed to LMP2.

We need a street track failures episode on the Birmingham Superprix track
