The savagery of the motor. And the sound is so unique. Only a GT40 makes the sweet music.

Awesome stuff... More please... 3.5 second gain in a few hours. That`s a huge gain. Good teaching and good listening I would think.

This is a great video, thank you :) I wonder if there are different compounds for such low temperatures, for such cars, or classic cars use single type of tire rubber compound for all occasions ? I suppose 2-3 degs are bellow glass transition temperature, well I think it is for usual passenger car summer tire. Having said that, car looks very alive, twitchy load sensitive, I suppose cold ambient temperatures taken out plenty of elasticity away from rubber, but it still looks very controllable and exciting from video, great driving really looks like on the limit, great fun this is real driving for sure.

Thanks for your kind comment Mantas. I'm grateful that you enjoyed the video. There may be other compounds in existence but they're not typically available to historic racers because generally people are competing purely for fun, and not taking it so seriously that they would bother buying multiple compounds for different condtions. The tyre we use are quite versatile and have to work well in wet/dry, hot/cold, over long/short races. It's actually quite impressive when I think about it!!

Thank you for the reply, thats indeed very impressive. But there must be trade-offs for that, car handling is probably never "optimal", but I think that it is great because it makes cars more natural and alive, and also many compounds is less practical more detached away from how cars are treated in everyday use. I'm also happy that such racing exist and that it is more for fun, it is fun to spectate too. Cars move a lot - very lively, speed is easy to perceive, very eventful and the atmosphere is cozy. By the way, very impressive GT40 Goodwood laptime, I did not know before that there is a GT40 Goodwood laptime under 1'21, and in a race !

Fabulous video sam, taking delivery of a superformance next year so very excited. Can i ask what rev limit was used in the video ? Im guessing 6500 rpm ?

Great! Lucky you!! My Dad used to have one and although I never got to drive it, he raved about it. Rev limit.. we typically have a soft cut around 6,800 and hard cut at 7,000. I often find I don't need to use all those revs though.

I wonder if the Superformance GT40 would preform any better.

No reason it shouldn't be on the same level if it's set up well enough, but I have to compliment the Lanzante guys on the prep of this car because you'd never know it was truly original from the way it feels... it's absolutely exceptional and certainly the best GT40 I've ever driven (both old and 'new').

Yep, very much so - I'd say heel n toe is almost essential in these cars at full racing speeds (also, sounds so bloody nice too!)
