What fantastic machinery!!

So funny seeing group C cars holding you up in every turn.
You trust those drivers a lot more than I would.
Your car is so floaty and loose in the 4th gear turns, scary!

I cringe looking at your knees and that knee breaker bar, I would have passed on that ride if I were as tall as you.

Thanks for posting!

Pass on a original 74 rsr at lemans?!! No way!

Yea my knees would be toast in a hard front impact. Racing is dangerous tho. I will take the modern cage with the knee busters over the original roll bar that was in it before!

Looked like a lot of faster cars, but not a lot of faster drivers. Thanks for posting Leh, really enjoy the in car views from the older cars.

Super coolness!

By the way, just bought some WeatherTech mud flaps for my new truck and a WeatherTech rear mat for the wife's SUV

Thanks for supporting our sport WeatherTech!

Ahhhhhh the awfulness of some of the other drivers.

I'd be more worried about your big ***** on the knee bar. Nice hand work in the fast sweepers.

Right on, if I were you I would feel exactly the same.

But things change a bit when you get older and have family and employees that you support.

Enjoy living the dream!
