"time lost out of some corners due to having a heavy foot"

You could be right in some instances but he has to take the wrong line quite often due to other traffic around him. We can't see what he can see in his rear view mirror. I'd prefer to acknowledge his obvious driving ability and suggest that any apparent errors are due to issues that we don't have the opportunity to see.

I'm worn out after watching that... great video.

So....did he beat the Porsche in the end?

its not really fair is it? racing against anglias and fiat abarths and minis-in a pure bred sportscar-come on-good video though-and good driving.

@panzerrat That's it! Thanks!

@pgrens I believe that the blue car he passes is a Renault Alpine A110.

Stunning footage! Thanks so much for posting this - I can't stop watching it! Can anyone tell me the make of the blue car he passes at 3:15?

[panzerrat]

I've got time driving an 1959 Austin Healey 100-6, and it was flat-out not capable of this. You sure this is a Healey?

[TheGreatDimebag]

Very good, but! I know given the cars layout and therefore cog there is an awful lot of time lost out of some corners due to having a heavy foot!! Clean and precise, especially when coming through the field.
