Become A Racecar Driver with US Legend Cars

One of the best ever

Dwarf car?

At $20k I'm still too poor to live the dream lmao.

I know Jay is always positive but these cars are NOT cheap racing. The cheap racing is LuckyDog, Lemons, Champcar Endurance racing. However, if you want to "win" you can spend more. There is also spec miata racing. It is important to note these Legend cars are "open wheel" although they look like full body, notice the wheels stick out, so there is no 'rubbing is racing' because rubbing will cause spinouts/accidents. These races are always very exciting to watch because the cars are way overpowered and traction limited, so they are always on the edge if you want to win, and there is always lead changes and passing going on.

Me and Jay both had the same reaction when he said street legal , and then followed up with the same question 💀💀

How different are dwarf cars from these?

Look like hilarious fun

As aerodynamic as a wardrobe

I thought they ran Yamaha FJ1200 engines in those for a while.

Do these turn right and left?

You look great Jay. Glad to see you're keeping busy. Great car.

why cant these be street legal? that would be a blast on public roads

Wow that was cool

They shut down parts of my countrys capital (europe) for a grand prix with many different kinds of cars, and they had races with these things too. They were easily the most exciting races out of everything, they were intense, fast paced and could actually overtake anywhere on the track basically. Super cool little kit cars.

car looked interesting so i clicked. but the 4cyl thing is a turn off for me. some car 4cyl are alright i guess but the bike motors just dont make the same kinds of power and im not a huge fan of the sound.
one of these with a v6 could be a blast and still really be a hot rod.
but then again a little supercharger on one of these would add some torque to that bike motor and pry make it an absolute blast to drive.

I love this category.
Above all the models that I like the most, are the 37' coupes, because they were the ones that competed in the Turismo Carretera, the most popular category in Argentina, for many years from 1937, until 3 decades later, the entry of compact cars like the Ford Falcon, the Chevrolet Nova II (nicknamed the "Chevitu") driven by Jorge Cupeiro, and the Argentinean national icon, the Ika Torino (Ika: Industrias Kaiser Argentina or Argentinian Kaiser Industry in english).
The most memorable race was the legendary Buenos Aires-Caracas, also known as the Grand Prix of South America. It was held in November 1948 and consisted of 14 stages. The winner of the race, Domingo Marimon, aboard a Chevrolet Coupe.
The old Coupe cars, which we call Cupecitas, are very fondly remembered in my country, so I think a legend car would be great here in Argentina. Especially if they could paint them the same as the old TC coupes.

Me encanta esta categoria.
Sobre todo los modelos que me gustan mas, son los coupes del 37', proque fueron los que compitieron en el Turismo Carretera, la categoria mas popular de Argentina, por muchos años desde 1937, hasta que 3 decadas despues, sucedio la entrada de los autos compactos como el Ford Falcon, el Chevrolet Nova II (Apodado el "Chevitu") piloteado por Jorge Cupeiro, y el icono nacional Argentino, el Ika Torino (Ika: Industrias Kaiser Argentina o Argentinian Kaiser Industry in english).
La carrera mas recordada, fue la legendaria Buenos Aires-Caracas, conocida tambien como el Gran Premio de la America del Sur. Disputada en Noviembre de 1948, y estuvo compuesta por 14 etapas. El vencedor de la prueba, Domingo Marimon, a bordo de una Coupe Chevrolet.
Los autos Coupe antiguos, a los que les llamamos Cupecitas, son autos muy recordados con mucho amor en mi pais, por lo que yo creo que una legend car estaria genial aca en Argentina. Sobre todo si las llegan a pintar iguales a las antiguas cupecitas del TC.

On the iracing is fun to drive I bet in real life it's a joy to race

As someone from the northeast it was cheaper for me to by a late model

can it have an automatic or all the legend cars have to be 4 speed?

It doesn't have to have been a car to vin it...come on Jay, you're better than that! Especially when they are a vehicle manufacturer. They're really no different than Panoz

There's one of these by my house I always wondered what it raced I want it so bad much much more now especially with Yamaha an my favorite driver jolo (joeylagano) the best products kome from Ford Mercedes and Yamaha

He had me at ten then says it’s price was 18 all of a sudden he lost me 😂. Still cool car thou. Thanks jay

Can't drive it on the street... Later drives tank car on the street.

Good to see you doing well Jay. Hopefully you'll get in one of those midget Yamaha racers and take a few laps soon.

Jay could handle it! No "RED RED RED"! That announcer has the right NASCAR twang yelling "RED RED RED!". Looks like fun. Maybe I'd want a kevlar bubble wrap suit. 2 layers of bubbles.

John Leguizamo was a great host on The Daily Show. Hopefully in between racing he fills in for whoever gets the gig. 900cc is same sized motor as Fiat 850 Spider. I think these are quite a lot faster (wink wink). I believe that Fiat was 72 horsepower (hopped up!)

Just went to the website I'm buying one in a couple months they look and sound amazing

This is a amazing idea so original and unique great concept 👍

JG IM THE RACER WHO RACES THAT SAME CAR 50YR AGO

Absolutely.

Legend Cars are so fun to watch

Great spokesperson. His grandfather would/must be proud

The racing video was stupid, made it look like a demo derby. In reality the races are very competitive but usually clean, significant contact is rare...

the best to watch in person

more women, cool.

Hey Jay they also do what they call a baby grand real similar to the lettuce but it looks more like a NASCAR car it's called a baby green you got to do a segment on them

They reminded me of the Nasa NP01 prototype models

You can actually get these registered to be street legal and it would be so damn fun

Watched from Jamaica. Fell in love with them the first time I reed aout them in auto magazines bac in the days. They even came to Jamaica and raced but I don't know why the sport never catch up in my country. Motor racing is a rich man sport in this island and I'm not rich..

I like thankcar

Thank car

Jay lay no

ชอบตั้งแต่แกรนด์ทัวริสโม

Are there any street-legal versions? Or is that possible?

Hey Jay
Are you asking everybody to contact you by "Whatspp me" ? And saying, "I'll coach you on somewhat strateg!es"

Sounds like a bunch of mad bees!!!!

I’ve been looking at buying a supercharged jet skis and Polaris ace buddies for a while. This is good way to get into racing. I wonder if they have a league in New Hampshire.

What a great video Jay. I also grew up going to oval dirt track races (with full size cars) with my dad, but this is sooo cool! It makes me want to race in a Legend, but at 73 I'm still more of a motorcycle guy and I think I'd rather go 115 on a cross country road trip than trading rubber and paint with some kid who wants to be a pro some day. And who am I to stand in his way anyway? 😂
