Two laps after the start we fight the Aston Martin DB4 (no14) Driven by M. Taylor, M. Vergers or P. Bennett. I'm curious who started the race in the Aston. I could not hold him in the end. My tyres got too hot and he got faster.

Car: Austin Healey Racer 1961
Driver: Jaap Sinke

Healey Qualified 29th 3:05.582
Aston Qualified 24th 3:02.625

  • Does he come back and get you at Les Combes? Nice work all round.

  • Later we suffered electrical problems. So not at Les Combes in the same lap but some laps later at Pouhon.

  • check the final results the aston finished 1st in class, 5th overall.

  • Shame we had the electrical problem later. Two years ago we finished 6th overall.

  • This is realy Big Healey racing!

  • Lovely battle. Very good

  • Wish you'll be there again in two weeks!

  • Love the crazy slip angles in the corners. Classics for the win!!

    

  • It makes me glad the Healey passed the AM. I was around when that Healey was produced and I was always a fan of the Healey Jag owners derided it because it was cheaper & not as sophisticated as the twin cam Jags. At the end of the day the Healey looked good from every angle which is something you couldn't say about the XK120 &140. It was always able to give the Jags a run for their money despite having push rod motor. Best value for money sports car of its era. TR3/4 was OK but ugly TF was cute

  • You have the skills over the AM driver just not the grunt!!! Great video!!!

  • Great video. It actually "sucked me in." I genuinely got anxious wanting you to pass the damned Aston. The video is good quality too, especially the sound which is really a plus considering you're driving Healey. You seem to be a pretty solid driver in my opinion too. Top drawer mate!

  • Great Video man thanks for letting us listen to the engine and not putting any dumb music over it

  • how do you drive like that for 6 hours?? must be knackering

  • ...oh, and the little driver notes were nice! :)

    Great vid, saved to my favorites. Great driving by both drivers. Fun watching the Mustang pull away with the help of that 289 V8.
