A rather special 10 minutes

Post by Stuart »

I know we get a lot of Ring videos on here, not that it's a bad thing, but this clip really is special.

It features a wonderful Gardner Douglas T70, a Cobra replica to some, packed with enormous grunt, big top speeds (GPS 177mph at the Ring) and a cracking soundtrack; not to mention a driver absolutely in tune with the cars balance and grip.

Pay special attention to the speed difference between the camera car and other 'quick' cars like GT3RS's and the like. The car's speed up Kesselchen has to be seen to be believed.

Great video of some cracking driving.
What impressed me was the way he read the road ahead, and never let things get on top, always keeping the speed and the balance matched. Admirable stuff.

What everyone else said and then some!!

The handling looked a bit lively and he was passing cars like they were stationary. The driver's certainly got some big cojones :eek:

Brilliant find!! :thumbs:
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:
