Default Mastering an old school GT40 in the rain

Kenny Bräck raced an old GT40 in somewhat wild manners at a rainy Goodwood.

That's some serious car control skills. Lap after lap.

And afterwards and interview about driving in those conditions.

Incredible car control skills and I agree with his point in the interview about being scared in the rain. If that's how you feel about it, you will never enjoy driving in the rain. I had a pivotal session with a local wet hotshoe that completely changed my attitude in the wet and I now enjoy it.

I'm certainly no Kenny Brack, not even close, but I can manage to drive through my DE run group in the rain and have a ball doing it .

1 - Priceless car
2 - Somebody else's priceless car
3 - somebody else's priceless car in the rain
4 - somebody else's priceless car in the rain and 3ft from a wall...

That's a serious pair...

Great videos, particularly the interview. Shows how racing is as much a mental as a physical game.
Fantastic.

Unreal. I think if you added up the times he had complete traction from all 4 wheels during that video, it would be less than the time he didn't. That's crazy.
