Nice driving. You respected the race coarse and most importantly the car.

Balls of steel to drive that brick as fast as you did. Wow I am impressed. That V8 sounds amazing. You have to be so careful rolling onto the throttle on those Cobras. Too much gas and whoosh you are heading backwards into oblivion.

Very nice lap! About 8/10th of the car’s performance, but fast and steady. There’s an old video from a guy driving a GD Lola T70 on Nurburgring that is mesmerizing! It overtakes Porsches 997 GT3 of that era like they were parked.

Not bad. It makes a change from the usual 'US' cobra kit cars driving really fast but in straight lines! God knows how they used to race these things back in the day!

Blue BMW driver: "How's that old AC Ace keeping up with me? C'mon man, you're making me nervous..." *You guys passing him* BROP "Now this is a car, mate." BMW driver: "Wut..."

Very nicely driven.

I guess that's pretty scary in a Cobra. In Assetto Corsa she oversteers immediately when I hit the throttle a bit too far 😳

[@dillv8]

I thought it would be scary ( I was the passenger ) but I think the car was so well set up it just felt fast and composed everywhere .. I loved it

[@superjody56]

Sounds like an original 289 cubic inch engine. Nice!

Did the camera person forget to clean the lens ? It is incredibly blurry.

[@dillv8]

It was the bloody iPhone , I think it was trying to focus on the actual windscreen , if you persist it comes into focus after about a minute ..

[@hanshoogendyk5783]

You live near the track this is your morning coffee break

[@dillv8]

Unfortunately not .. 😢 .. I wish I did though ..

[@MrSaemichlaus]

The sound gets better when he starts going *Well yes, but actually no*

[@tinnedanger]

Where did that Zed go ! ???

[@EugVR6]

There are some videos from inside the Zed, basically a race car with a 330hp HR engine fitted.
