Nice to see he used the first lap to settle in and get a feel for things........


Here's more of the "downhill bit".




I post (and like) that video so much I should put it in my sig.

It's a great run up through The Cutting , across the top to Skyline and Down to (Jack) Forrest's Elbow. (especially riding a sidecar)

[Stiletto]

I enjoyed those! thanks.

That TWR Jag looks impossibly fast for that model car.

Speaking of Lotus' (Loti?) - here is a (unfortunately long) video about a highly modified Lotus. Worth it, though, just to see the lengths which somebody will go in order to be faster:

Frank Profera has spent six years making his Lotus go faster, stop shorter, and corner harder. Though it only has to move around 2,150 lbs, Frank's Lotus makes 680 wheel horsepower with a twin-charged 1.8L engine; giving it a better power-to-weight ratio than Mario Andretti's Formula One Lotus. It's an ongoing project that may never be finished, because of Frank's never-ending obsession with speed
