I like how he sticks his hand out because the green car in front of him didn't just evaporate.

The sound of that engine is magical. Not sure if it would make Lime Rock sound restrictions!

The old Arrows is before the invention of the dual clutch gearbox, coupled with him not wearing a HANS, he's got a lot of 'snap" in that neck

Good lord, seems downright dangerous. Guess I don't feel as bad now when a GT3 sneaks up on my tail...

I'm thinking about trading my Cayman for an F1 car.
I think this might help me win my DE.
Thoughts?

my thoughts exactly. Speed diff is shocking, shouldn’t be allowed on track at same time as Minis! At my local track we run separate groups if open wheelers show up.

According our chair, National PCA rules prohibit open wheel cars and exoskeleton cars at any track or autocross event.

The whole time I'm watching it I'm thinking two things:
1) Awesome engine sound, I miss that in F1
2) I'd hate to be paying the maintenance cost on that car. Per lap, per mile, per minute, $$$$

I don't think the green car even knew he was there at 1:30

Yup, been on track at The Glen with them a few times and the 962. Fun to watch them blast by out there.

Talk about bringing a gun to a knife fight Looks like a lot of fun to drive. I love the sound of F1 cars from the era.

Ok my favorite scene was at the very end when he pulled back in the pits:
You show up on you track day with a Ferrari Scuderia and feel pretty good about yourself, and just when you want to start showing off, a guy in a F1 car pulls in the pits
