AC Cobra Daytona Coupé OnBoard at Circuit Paul Ricard - Ford 289 V8 Engine Sound!

I've always been fascinated by those numerous Cobra Daytona' you can see racing at Peter Auto's events, Masters Historic or at other historic racing weekends, but I never asked any owners/drivers to put an action camera inside the cockpit of one of them. Until last month...
I still don't know exactly the history of these cars, if they are all recent recreations built from scratch or, for example, rebodied AC Cobra (Roadster) chassis. What I know for sure is that they're not the six original Shelby Daytona, but they are formidable track monsters with FIA HTP (Historic Technical Passport) which allows them to be raced in any FIA approved historic series.
In this video you can enjoy some laps around Circuit Paul Ricard in a beautiful grey-blue Cobra Daytona Coupé, managed by W.R.S. Wassermann Racing Service, during the qualifying session of the Sixties' Endurance Series!

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@dreyn7780 Sorry, but the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line - desirable. Taking a corner following the center curve is not the shortest distance - undesirable. That's why the quickest drivers in a race have learned how to approach, set up for, and cut the apex perfectly. If there is a sports car track anywhere near you, just ask people there who either teach road racing courses or are drivers, they will confirm just what I have said. Good luck!

And unfortunately the driver can't stay in the middle of a race track. He's constantly risking smashing it at every turn. Those 100 drives towards the edges add up to SLOW AND LOOSER

[@dreyn7780]

@BR-P-2001 // you are. Going close to the edges of the track, is a risk and that always causes crashes and loss of time. 1 mistake at the edge of the race track cause a big time loss which results in slower lap times than if you just slow down and drive in the middle of the road. You match yourself to what the race track designer has built for you to experience. You don’t fight the track design. You perfectly match the track. Your tyres are cold. You have 1 tyre really cold and 1 tyre really hot. Too hot. All 4 of my tyres are the same heat temperature.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@William best - There were no "road going" Daytonas. Shelby American built 6 pure racing Daytonas, all accounted for today. The replicas that are available today weren't made until well after the 70s. By road going version, possibly you mean the Cobra roadster?

[@bogthing1]

@@Loulovesspeed Yes, different top.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@bogthing1 OK - That was one of the cobra roadsters with the removable hardtop - totally different body than the Daytona Coupe. It didn't work as it still could do no better than 150 mph. That speed was not going to beat, or even keep up with the Ferrari GTO - its main rival. That's why Peter Brock designed the coupe version shown here. The chassis and drive line was essentially the same as the roadster, but the new body style was much more efficient in cutting through the wind and could reach in excess of 195 mph.

The 8 carburetors contribute to the sound. The side pipes may not even have glass packs. The side pipe exits are pointed outward, sometimes they are turned down to the ground to help eliminate some noise. Mine sets off car alarms at idle.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@BradThePitts The Daytona had 4 carburetors, 4 twin choke Weber downdrafts to be specific.

[@BradThePitts]

@@Loulovesspeed Thanks for that fact, I didn't know that specific. Mine had (8) fuel-injected "Webers". It was a bear to tune, and not worth it for street use.

@@BradThePitts No problem, for that matter, the 4 Weber carbs were not the easiest to synchronize either. But once they were right, they produced more power than say two 4Bl. carbs and with much better throttle response too.
