- Gentlemens Drivers cup at the Historic Grand Prix 2016.
Almost in the evening, Jan Lammers '88 Le Mans winner takes the wheel of a Ferrari 250 GTO '64 build by Roelofs Engineering. He takes on the Shelby Cobra's and Shelby Daytona coupe's, the main rival of Ferrari back in the sixties. Jan starts as 2nd but finished at 7th.
I believe the GTO is a recreation build on a 1963 250 GT chassis, there are only 3 of the real '64 model. But nonetheless, you can see this 250 GTO as the real thing only it is build by Roelofs Engineering in The Netherlands instead of Ferrari. Maybe it's even better made with modern tools.
Roelofs Engineering prepare and restore Italian cars, mainly Ferrari's from all over the world and are one of the best. At the Goodwood revival 2016 for example, Tom Kristensen won in a 250 GT SWB prepared by Roelofs Engineering.

What topped off that day of exquisite machinery was the fact it was sunny there at Zandvoort!
I came here for the Shelby Daytona Coupes, but I love every one of these cars. Magnificent video!!
rocketman63 you nailed it,there all the coolest,60's and 70's cars are the best, they have more soul and emotion than anything new.
I saw this act played out for real in 1964, at Nürburgring; the year the Cobras first visited Europe. We were in the grandstands across from the pits, and I got an education about how fast the Ferrari GTOs were compared to the Cobras. There was a moment when we saw one of the Cobras come out of the pits, with one of the factory GTOs right behind him. They both went into the hairpin at the end of the pit straight side-by-side, with Cobra on the outside. I heard them both accelerating up the rise behind the pit grandstands, and then I could just get a quick glimpse of the Cobra well ahead of the GTO going into the left-hand curve, before going out of sight. As they came around on the next lap, the Cobra was well ahead of the GTO, by about 200-250 yards. As an 18 year old American boy, I was excited at that sight! Alas, it was not to be! The Ferraris finished the race and the Cobras, for the most part, didn't. It was a race I'll never forget!
Best part of the video is the Cobra high speed slide at 4:38. Great stuff.
The BEST era for sports car racing....... amazing.
The Golden Era of road racing. That GTO is breath taking!
I built a FFR replica Daytona Coupe. Took 6 years and $40k. Which is cheap since brakes, motor, trans and diff are all Mustang sourced. I built the motor using the best Parts I could find for cheap, makes 353 hp at the crank and cost $2k. Brakes are SVT Mustang cobra 94-04 vintage. Weighs 2300 lbs and is like you can imagine a road going vintage race car. Frame is stronger than original and uses Koni coilovers.
What does it drive like? I'm thinking of building one of those with my dad from the same manufacturer.
The Daytona's, and Shelby's were beasts. And the Corvette. But that Ferrari, wow. Couldn't be touched.
different classes and this was just practice laps... not a real race. GT40 would kill all of them
Honestly, how can anybody dislike this video?
Maybe because there was ferrar mixed to group of real cars.
Maybe the green Daytona? What was up with that? I can spell!
they could use their big boy word to explain a little about where they are, what they are doing and seeing.
They are professionals. That is to say professional complainers. Who scour the internet 24/7 looking for something to complain about or dislike. Ignore them if their brains were dynamite it wouldn’t blow their caps off
Greta fanboys
Great sound from that Ferrari sweet music just the right amount of gurgle...
Loved seeing the XKE, Healeys, and even the Vette but loved the sound of those good ol; 289's in the Shelbys !
That 250 GTO is like a work of art, magnificent. The yellow Vette and the red and gray Daytona Coupes were really nice too, I would have loved to be there
That Ferrari 250 gto is one of the most beautiful car in the world!🥰👍
Love, love, love watching and listening to these sports car wonders! The little XKE drift, the rasp of the Ferrari and the Cobra laying down the hammer, unequaled today!
Great audio, and gorgeous cars, they are all wonderful examples of automotive joy.
thank you one and all involved with this race and production. it's great seeing these gorgeous cars being raced like the builders envisioned them to be driven.
Thank you and you're right about that!
It's historically significant sweet old race car overload. It's hard to top that 250 GTO in looks or sound.
But personaly the cobra did bouth
Zandvoort is a very beautiful circuit.
all the cars are beautiful...but the Ferrari is work of art. have mercy
freeyourmind88 its also worth over $30 million
If it's an original one that number would be closer to $50 million if not more. Some of the above comments suggest that this particular '64 is a recreation. If that's true, then it's just another wannabe to the Real Deal and worth nowhere close to bringing serious collector status money.
I thought the '63 250GTO was prettier than the '64. The notchback of the '64 just seemed to break up the flow of the design.
freeyourmind88 it's a piece of shit!!!!!
Superb video. Excellent!
Volante79, thank you for the great video. These cars are rolling masterpieces, all of them, including the tribute (replica) cars. It truly brings joy to my life to see the owners of such valuable machines as the originals willing to share them with us in a manner so similar to their original purpose. I give the same respect to the replicas, which in this case are certainly built to a high standard to be allowed to participate. They give the event a feel closer to what it was like back then, and allow those of us of more modest means to be a part of the sport we love. The haters who call the tributes "fake" or "junk" are elitist assholes who give the sport a bad name. Granted, there ARE crappy replicas out there (maybe more than good ones), but those shown in this video ain't them!!
1966 on up to 1968 the daytonas was unstoppable 💡
Oh my gosh! Theyʻre really running hard! I love it!
The good old era of racing :D
Wish i was born in that time..but well, atleast we can still see them racing nowdays
#76 Cobra really taking those turns faster than the rest it seems, great driving.
Thanks great echo around all those dirt hills...I the SIM I was wondering if the place was a sand pit or just brought the dirt in to deflect the noise a little should work....
This is another track I enjoyed on the SIM in an F1 car...a lot like Sebring a lot of direction changes and sweepers changing radius turns to keep u awake
I love the turns coming back to the start one of the fastest turns ever equal to spa or le Mon...
That was fun! A lot of money and time represented on that track!
@WarriorCrimson Not my 50 million if I ever have that much. Too many great cars to buy for way less. Quantity is best to me.
great car's,
I just simply love this chassis type of sports cars.
I love your video
Thanks!
I'm impressed how the drivers are pushing the performance envelope with their cars. I get the impression that a similar event in the US, the machinery is driven more sedately.
The owners of these ‘60s GT sportscars must be born with their heart in their mouths. I wouldn’t have the balls to race these rare priceless masterpieces.
I hope there was some gentlemanly driving.
I like that very bright turquoise E-type.
They drove hard but fair and that driver of the E-type had a lot of fun sliding!

Great cars. Great video. The XKE Jag is impressive. Is it just me or do the 911’s seem.... well just neh?
I find it funny how every European car is vroom and raspy then ‘Murica like “rooOOAAAAAAAARRRRR” LOL
Europe's bee buzz vs American V8 Lion's roar.
American thunder and European mad hornets!
Holy shee-it! Those little bastards are fast! And good around corners too!
Man, those Daytonas looking good, sounding good. And the 250GT... Where the fuck was i at, why didn't anybody tell me.
The GTO from Roelofs Engineering raced at the Goodwood 75th Member meeting 2017, starting from 15th on the grid and finished 4th! th-cam.com/video/nAsf2wUrdAc/w-d-xo.html Onboard: th-cam.com/video/07tl0LdN6uM/w-d-xo.html
TVRs & Healeys! Woo Hoo!
The most beautiful GTO of them all s/n #5573!
Whatcha doin
IT APPEARS THAT THE GTO TAKES THE TIGHT TURNS CLEANER
250GTO Le Mans hell of a car
TVR TVR TVR 😍
A rich sport but great to see them out on the track
guysmalley Yes but a lot of cars are replica’s or recreations. Still you pay a big amount of money for these cars and to run them.
Unfortunately not a real GTO'64 but a 330GT with GTO bodywork. Still a great video...I saw these cars in the paddock but was unable to see them racing as I had to go back to Almere in the afternoon.
Not a real GTO I know, but not a "simple" 330 GT conversion either. I believe it's a 250 GT from 1963 (kentekencheck) build from the ground up to be as close as it can get to the real thing. It's like a technical statement from Roelofs Engineering to show what they can do. Next time I will ask one of the mechanics.
6:25
What is that car at 2:39?
12:33 you never showed the 250 and the Daytona neck and neck at the corner and the accelerate out of it. Who won? American iron? Scared to show.
Mamma mia, tutti in derapata che emozione.
Hard to choose a favorite?
Quanto será, que custa um carro desses?? Alguém sabe?
are these cars built to original specifications because of course they are not original. I am not complaining the video is excellent
These cars are going around this track like they’re stuck to it ha ha ha lol 😂
My only suggestion is to hold the camera up a little higher!
All the "action" in in the top half of the screen! (-;
So many millions I can't even count
There was one car that i did not recognize. Dark green number 29, I think. Was that a Scarab? It looked a lot like an Alfa Romero.
It's a 1964 Morgan Plus 4 SLR, one of 3 made, plus a Triumph version. I've been lucky to have seen them all.
What was that green #76?
@New England Views - That was a repro Shelby Daytona Coupe - all 3 Daytonas in this vid are recreations, but still look and sound great!
Loulovesspeed Mouthwatering! 🤤
What car is the turquoise one at 8:16 ?
Jaguar E-type
Are any of these cars original or are they all ((save the TVR) replicas?
The Daytonas are replicas. The Cobras are real.
This vid is sexier than a victoria,s secret show!
99%.9 agree.
It's like they took a bunch of cars out of a museum and then said let's race
that red daytona sounds exactly like a gt40

Number 166,run your race alone?At the last position?
Uups...!Cars surrounding that 166 marvel!(At what lap number?)
The engine in the GTO would probably cost $800K to replace...whereas a blue printed real K code 289 with the Shelby mods can be had for about $15K...JS (a guy who owns a 2019 Porsche GT2 RS and has owned a couple different '65/'66 GT-350's when I was younger.
YES!!! 👍👍🏁🏁💖💖😎
Who won?
What engine is in that Ferrari? Sounds great, I know it’s a rebuild.
3 litre V12
Pas besoin d'avoir l'original si tu as les chevaux qu'il faut la où il faut ! Et surtout le différentiel qui va bien avec ....
The sound of Ferrari's V12 is magic, but, the rumble of an American V8 ain't bad either!
Have you noticed, when Ford decides to stomp Ferrari's ass at Le Mans, Ford stomps Ferrari's ass!
Yeah, in the '60s, with 70millions budget for a race vs. 3 millions for an entire season. Try it now. F1 entrance is free.
@@neutronalchemist3241 Too bad the F1 cars of today are boring compared to the variety of great sounding F1 cars in the 60s-80s!
These boys show more restraint that I am capable of. How you go out there in a Daytona coupe and not stomp that GTO into the ground is beyond me.....
Because to be honest, the GTO is not an easy nut to crack anyway. And on a twisty track like Zandvoort, they had to drive extra if they want to stay ahead of that GTO...
Datsun 240 got inspired by the ferrari.
In defense of these very well done replicas, it's a lot less disastrous if you wad one of them up on a racetrack. I'd hate to be the guy who destroyed a real one.
Yeah, look at goodwood revival 2016 and it happened with the real GTO '64: th-cam.com/video/YWaxyrjhATA/w-d-xo.html
But the damage will always be fixed.
Oh, noes!
The Roelofs GTO nearly crashed yesterday with an E-type on Goodwood 75th Members meeting in qualifying. Whoops. But it will race today. th-cam.com/video/nAsf2wUrdAc/w-d-xo.html
I have watched racing with actual GTO’s at around 40-50 million a piece,and racing a real one is like playing hand toss with a Faberche” Egg.
The turquoise 68 car , I think it’s a Jag ... is rad.
I doubt very much that the red Cobra coupe is the original CSX 2602. Looks like the other two Polish-made coupes. Alan Mann Racing ran 2602 at 1965 Le Mans with Peter Sutcliffe and Peter Harper. Mann prepared the car (under contract with Shelby) and acquired a Fillipinetti entry on the condition that he repaint the car Fillipinetti Swiss red and white. Mann had previously entered 2602 at Spa with John Whitmore in the normal Shelby blue and white. See the book The Cobra Ferrari Wars 1963-1965.
I think all the 3 Cobra coupes are replicas. See the comments below starting from Harald Heilman.
It's crazy, To actually race a 250gto. It's no reproduction, Because Ferrari doesn't allow repops. If you try and reproduce anything related to Ferrari your going to end up in court.
Title: There are no apostrophes in plurals = Cobras, Coupes,
So many million in one place ,,,,,
The XKE is one of the best looking cars...ever.
Shelby Cobra-$1.5 million, Daytona coupe-$7.5 million, 250 GTO-$45 million and rising.
This GTO is beautiful and very cost (above 30 million € ?)
Yes but, who won!? (That Ferrari was a beautiful sight!)
The series one body gto looks way sexier
Thats the Ferrari 250 LM, not the GTO
Isn’t that version of the GTO known as an LM?
No the roof is inspired by the LM. But The LM is a mid engined prototype.
Probably Enzos personal Hell right here.
What is the little look alike cobra car is that a TVR was that there birth era too or was more mid 70s to 80s ??? Not quite as ugly as the Daytona coupe I remember as a kid the Daytona coupe being so cool looking now I've research it and gotten better and longer looks it neat but unique odd...I love the line if this was a beauty contest we just lost....Ferrari...an GT 40...the Ford GT 40 I never thought was ugly
The Jaguar is definately the drift king....hah hah
I would be far too afraid of scratching it. Just put around the track, no need for flame retardant suits. Things aren't getting that hairy.
Watch the Ferrari Cobra Wars.
That's a lot of paychecks
Actually, 2 conras with tops, the cobra with the actual roof is a daytona....the predecessor to the daytona coupe... shelby needed some roofed cars for certain races so they quickly fabbed roofs to a few cobras.....hence thereforth the daytona, then the follwing year or later that year built the daytona coupe...... the daytona coups dominated the circuit and was probably the only car that could have beaten the gt40s. Believe it or not.
@this guy's name is Matt - I never heard any Cobra referred to as a Daytona except the 6 Pete Brock designed Cobra Daytona Coupes. The first attempt to make the Cobra roadster faster was to add on a fiberglass roof in hopes of improving the aerodynamics of the car, since the roadster wasn't good for much over 150 mph. That was the plan - it didn't work on the long Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. That is when Brock designed and built the 6 Daytona Cobra Coupes. Those worked well enough to cruise by the Ferrari 250 GTO which was out of breath at about 185 mph. Bob Bondurant hit 197 on the Mulsanne, which he said was the fastest he had ever gone at the time. Yes, the Daytona Coupe was faster than the early GT40s, as they were still being developed. By 1965 though, the GT 40 was faster.
A lot of slipping and sliding fun...
thank you for the video.. If you want to see some on-board footage of the GTO th-cam.com/video/piaQm9cId2M/w-d-xo.html there you go.. Next time we will come back stronger, we had some problems with the tires.
I wonder why you where dropping back after a good qualifying. But what a machine, can you tell us more about the GTO and the build? I know it's not a real GTO, but is it build like a brand new GTO? (zoveel vragen :P )
If it would be original it would break down in first lap.
If shredded wheat flour milk toast and cereal
The Cobra hardtops look....agricultural compared to the Shelby Daytona.
Any idea who built the Daytona Cobras?
Sorry, I want to know as well. As these are replicas.
The real ones were made hey someguy named Peter and some hotrodders
William Donnelly I'm wondering if they are some of the Mike McCluskey cars. He built 10 exact replica Daytonas on original Cobra chassis. They have CSX numbers and are in the registry.
@William Donnelly - The first Daytona Coupe, designed by Peter Brock, was completely built in the Shelby American, Venice, California shop. Quite ironically, the last 5 bodies were made by an Italian company, Carrozzeria Gransport, right in Modena! All of the chassis for the cars were modified Cobra roadster ones.
