Courage C60 LMP900 & Courage C60 'Hybrid' LMP1: OnBoard, Fly Bys & Judd GV4 V10 Engine Sound!

This video is fully focused on the two beautiful Courage C60s I saw at Circuit Paul Ricard during the 2022 Dix Mille Tours by ‪@peterautoracing‬, fielded in the Endurance Racing Legends series. The cars are managed by the guys of ‪@pastorelliclassiccars3922‬ who have recently fully restored them after years without being used on track.

The Courage C60 was built by Courage Compétition in 2000 for the LMP900 class, powered by a 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated Judd GV4 V10 engine linked to a X-Trac 6-speed manual-sequential gearbox. The dark blue (number 13) C60 in this video is in LMP900 trim.

In 2001 Pescarolo Sport began using a 3.2-litre twin-turbocharged Sodemo-Peugeot A32 V6 engined version of the car, a version that would prove to be the most successful. In 2004 Pescarolo further developed their C60s, opting for a 5.0-litre Judd GV5 V10 engine instead of the Peugeot unit. Their cars were renamed as just 'Pescarolo C60', removing the 'Courage' name.

For 2005 Courage and Pescarolo both released redeveloped versions of the C60 LMP900 for the new LMP1 'Hybrid' regulations, where the term 'Hybrid' only refers to the fact that the chassis of these cars could and was still based on the older LMP900 regulations, but the aerodynamics package was fully up to date with the upcoming LMP1 regulations. In fact in anticipation of the completely new class for the 2007 season, the ACO offered the teams a three year transition period during which old and upgraded LMP900 cars could still be fielded. These 'hybrid' cars were a relatively cheap and easy option to still used the old LMP900 cars without suffering the performance penalties.

Both versions (Pescarolo and Courage) were designated as C60 Hybrids and used Judd engines. The Pescarolo version retained its Judd GV5 engine, with a claimed power output of 630 hp, whilst the Courage version used the smaller 600 hp Judd GV4 engine, and featured a noticeably different rear wing. Two factory chassis were built by Courage and the full black (number 34) C60 in this video is one of the two. Before the restoration the car was fitted with the beautiful black and red Yokohama Advan livery used by Shinji Nakano, Bruce Jouanny and Jonathan Cochet during the 2005 Le Mans 24h.

I have to hugely thank the kind guys of Pastorelli Classic Cars and the driver of the C60 'Hybrid', David Hart, for allowing me to put a GoPro on the car during its first rollout after the restoration. Hope you like it!
