Wow.
Thanks for sharing.
That shows the difference between a professional like you, dancing with the car vs a hack like me getting agitated the wheel.

Thanks for that great video, controlling that car looks more like when we rally drive on gravel.

I saw some places I think you were leaving some tenths on the table, Leh. I'll pm you some pointers.




Kidding! Very cool stuff. I can't imagine a real 74 RSR. Just awesome.

Nice drive!
I'm embedding your video here to make it easier for people to watch.

Thanks for posting that, Leh. Great fun.

Two questions for you... I've read that Eau Rouge is a scary fast corner sequence. How did you find it?

And related, what are the most challenging corners for you on the various tracks where you race?

Very interested in your perspective. Thanks...

Awesome stuff and thanks for posting!
Going back to that gearbox must be akin to breaking out an old manual typewriter.
Was this your video equipment? Interested to know make/model. Was very clear and had decent audio.

Be curious what arrangements you come to with the owners of these cars that you 'guest' drive. In terms of what would happen if there was an incident?

Spectacular driving on a gorgeous circuit! The cockpit cracked me up... the cars used to be so small.

Thanks for sharing, Leh!
