A lap of Le Mans in an old Ferrari. Anyone seen this one yet?

Thanks Joe! Way cool. Clips like this are why I am glad I dumped dial-up to get a cable modem.

One thing tho: if the camera height is basically driver eye height, then the top of the windshield is really distracting to me - not to mention the
hood scoop juts up way high too.

There's another video clip out there on the Internet that shows a modern BMW racer doing a lap of the 'Ring... what is interesting is that with this old Ferrari you hear marvelous engine noise, whereas on the modern car all you can hear is gearbox whine.

Gerard, the BMW clip is Hans Stuck's lap of the ring. Best I've seen by far. And that guy wins my vote for the best driver on the planet, hands down...

Hey TVST*R,

Love the look baby, but now that we can all see just how handsome you truly are would it too much of an imposition to ask you to size down the image? Thanks.

Cheers

Joe

This is a pretty cool video. Any links on the BMW one? These are always exciting!

Joe, tell you what man, I laugh every time I see your avatar.

Tommy Ray, I took the liberty of sizing down your avatar, if you'd like, you can find it here: http://static.flickr.com/74/196234384_955ba2f6fd_m.jpg

Humour is a good thing. I'm glad it makes you laugh Jon.
BTW, no offense intended there Tom.

Try the following link to Hans Stuck. Anyone who thinks they're a good driver should have a good look at this:

Yup ! One of my sons showed me this one a couple of months ago, great video. Reminds me of the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca. If you haven't gone to that once --you must ! I took the wife 2 years ago and spent 4 days. Something you just have to see -- awesome to say the least !!

It's of no interest to anyone but on my first two laps of the Nurburgring back in 1958 I missed the Karusel and drove aroung the top. I managed to hit it on the third lap. The ditch came up on you VERY quickly.

Way cool video
