You ain't hiding anything with a car that sounds like that.

This from my mate at Drivedata who shot the video:

"The car is owned and driven by Sean & Michael McInerney. I put one of the Sony MC1 HD cameras in it when they were out testing one day to see how it performed.

They race it in the historic Le Mans Series in Europe and despite some of the [You Tube yobbo] comments, Sean is a very good driver! The car is quite difficult to drive...

It sure didn't sound like it was a turbo...so my guess is its an NA engine..but still probably 400hp+

This is the series the car races - http://www.classicenduranceracing.com/uk/index.asp

Drool!

There are 5 races in the series, and McInerney's M1 has won three of them. The competition in GT2 includes tow other BMW M1 examples and a real Porsche 935.

More drool!

For those who need to see more, take a look at the cars running in the P1 & P2 classes!

Sounds great. I wonder what the cost per lap of that thing is.

Forget the car...I'd be happy driving anything around Silverstone.
