Laguna Seca Foundation Vintage Enduro - Clip 1 of 3

Watch in HD! Gary Sheehan's opening stint in the ex-Bonier '68 McLaren M6B Can-Am car during the Laguna Seca Foundation Fundraiser Enduro. Starting from the back of the grid, watch the amazing machinery out on track as Sheehan moves from last to first. Awesome cars and incredible sounds from these vintage cars. Listen for missed upshifts as Sheehan deals with a balky gearbox and rear wheel lock-up from too much rear brake bias. Combined with mid-corner understeer and significant corner-exit oversteer, this car was a handful!

A glorious machine and props to you for driving it.

The car (and the driver) seems a little nervous during braking, was that a fault because of 60s/70s braking technology or because of a bad brake balance?

Too much rear brake bias. In several places you can hear the engine revs dropping revs as the rear tires were rotating slower than road speed.

Magnificent sound... Let down only by the wimp that was driving it…. Van would have made it sound better than Buddy holly…
