Wonderful... Wonderful... Wonderful... Over 175mph / 280kmh on the straight... And that engine sound... Died and gone to Heaven. Thank you

Man the sound is just unbelievable, also great driving!

Wide open carbs, easy on the steering, smooth on the break pedal, you are driving a Rolex 👍

[velocityjet]

That was amazing, fantastic gear shifting, and magnificent ability control, really enjoyed myself watching your clip

Just completed a race weekend where we had a field of 50 E-30 BMW’s in close competition, but one of my dreams would be a chance taking part in a classic race at Le Mans. Great driving, great car and thanks for sharing!

GT 40 for ever, sheer brute force! Child hood dream to drive one & feel all that power!! 👍🏎🏎👍

Gee! Seeing the way the driver is wrestling the steering wheel . . . To think that back in 1967 that AJ Foyt, driving the Mk IV version of the GT40, had to do back-to-back driving stints at night because co-driver Dan Gurney overslept.

Thankyou for Sharing. So wonderful to watch the angles, and throttle control. 280+ down Mulsanne too. Magnificent

Back in 1965/66 I was driving on the M6 here in England, about 80 mph when a GT40 passed me. I thought I had stopped!

Thank u that was very relaxing..hah hah....no serious nice driving thanks for really relaxed going around le mans at 120 mph every where u didnt have to much traffic to deal with clear track mostly

Love the instruments in the left corner of the screen.

[kelliebrooks]

U see that steering wheel shaking thats what it was like before radials came to be....those bias ply tires had a lot more feel to the road..imagine doing that for 45 minute flat out an 24hours...

[OrangeApocalypse]

It'll be a sad day when these gorgeous sounds are replaced by those whiny-ass electric motors 😞

[HEKTIC]

Christ these things move along! Imagine doing these speeds on 1960s tyre technology!

[Quadrant]

amazing constant steering wheel inputs in this beast, and sound amazing too

[kelliebrooks]

My favorite part of driving le mans is at 200 mph i use a two story house for my brake marker going into the famous chicane...yes a 2 story house for a brake marker...that is so cool...i never thought i would watch something so big to brake off of....

Not a US-made Holman-Moody 427R 550hp 1966 GT40Mk2 this, just a 289/302ciu Mk1 but still a nice classic. The 427R had shiftpoints at 7400rpm btw

[edwardclark]

Great driving and tape! I am surprised that on some unobstructed curves, the driver drops below the engine power band.

[SMSinger]

You really need a camera for the footwork and shifting here, hell of a drive 💪
