Damn!!! It's frightening how fast those F1 cars are in this context.

I've seen quite a few vids recently where they have 2 or 3 cars, ranging from econobox to DTM racer, next to an F1 car at Silverstone. They each take off in succession, the F1 car goes last (naturally), and beat them all to the finish. Great vids! However, they pale in comparison to this mash-up.

Thanks!

You know, I'm not under any illusion that I have the ability to even develop those skills.

Ronan posted the two separate vids (see below). Also fun to watch one, then the other.

Cool vid but I'm not buying it either (no offense to MJ). At the very least, the overlay doesn't seem quite accurate and the F1 may be sped up. The F1 cars look like they're going 2x the speed. They couldn't possibly be. That has to be a 120-130mph section in a GT3.

I counted it off, too, and it seemed twice as fast where as the laps times indicate only a 50% bump. They're fast no doubt, but that seems warp speed!
