Oooof, when that engine started up a little shiver went down my spine. Closest I'll get to driving one of these mighty beasts so thank you Mr Brundle for the amazing footage!
Did I ever enjoy this, yes I did. Love these older race cars. What a rare privilege to be able to see it turn laps, more so to drive it and race it hard like it was built to do. So happy you posted the video. Best of luck to you at the races.
I LOVE this channel: no battery operated cars, no kids quoting dead Brazilian drivers out of context, just passion and a lot of knowledge about motorsport! Thanks
What track is this? I know it says sliverstone, but doesnt look llike it? Amazing...... having driven a paddle which do you prefer? Including authenticity vs technology??
Fantastic stuff. Do you left foot brake in the corners where you're not downshifting? And does a desire to left foot brake sometimes mean you might hold a slightly higher gear than is ideal in order to facilitate it?
I do not; the pedals are not positioned so you can in this one. Long gears are because of the torque, which is massive from a V12 and the fact it’s just a shakedown so we are not pushing super hard
Awesome fascinating insight into an awesome machine. I know you would have been rev and tyre limited but how did those lap times compare to 2023 BTCC times...Just curious. Ace video
I recall a comparison test ( Motor Sport ? ) between a T70 , a 917 and a 512 . The 512 was criticised as being simply too noisy for its driver over long periods.
Last night I watched an incar video of someone else driving a 512M in Italy and they too were having very "jerky" movements with the wheel. Is this simply from lack of front end grip?
@@landiahillfarm6590 it’s mostly because the rack is very stiff, here. This is a shakedown we had several issues. Rack, gearbox gates not exactly aligned pedal position not exactly correct etc
@@BrundleBTW Very interesting! THank you. I wonder if the other fellow had the same issue. Sadly after some very spirited laps [I think it was Mugello] his engine completely died on track so hopefully it was not catastrophic. I was a mere 12 year old lad when I heard my first boxer engine, it was 1975 at Watkins Glen. Been hooked ever since ;)
This is Real Ferrari. The Ferrari that we know, not those high tech cars of today!, No hate to the present cars, but ya this is true, they are nothing compared to these❤
I do'nt quite understand right hand drive cars with the gear change... on the right. Why do you want to be reaching into the door pocket to shift gears?
@@BrundleBTW That seems like something Italians would do in the 60s and 70s. Design a beautiful car, an amazing engine, and at the last moment realize they forgot the transmission.

That sound is unreal! Cheers for sharing that special POV!
Yes, but I think the sound of Matra V12 is better (Stradivarius)
My god THAT SOUND. 3:36
Ferrari V12 is the best sounding engine ever made. Absolutely glorious.
A real race car not like today's
thats just the most savage engine note ever. Wonderful !
Imagine this beast in the middle of the night at full throttle down the Mulsanne straight. Epic sounds, much better than F1 cars of today.
My hairdryer sounds better than todays f1 car
Imagine This Car Scares Any anime Character
Oooof, when that engine started up a little shiver went down my spine. Closest I'll get to driving one of these mighty beasts so thank you Mr Brundle for the amazing footage!
Ah yes, the Ferrari flat-12. One of the best creations ever made!
Great video, such a raw and vivid expression of a pure NA V12 in this car.
Glad you liked it!

Epic. Thanks mr. Brundle!
My ears thank you! Love that sound. Looks like a fabulous car to drive too.
Thanks Martin (finest F-1 commentator by far and away), I needed that. and congrats on your win at Silverstone.
This is Alex his son driving
I LOVE this channel: no battery operated cars, no kids quoting dead Brazilian drivers out of context, just passion and a lot of knowledge about motorsport! Thanks
Thank you we do our best (Alex)
"kids quoting dead brazilian drivers" 😄
@@rideroundandstuff They don't know the truth
@@redsidebiker he neither
Glorious sound and fantastic skill from a great driver, he still has it. Thanks for sharing
I don’t think the good ones ever lose it. IMHO, it’s a middle ear and seat-of-the-pants thing.
Wow, absolutely amazing footage!
Merci pour ce tour avec ta belle Ferrari avec un son de V12 que j’adore
What track is this? I know it says sliverstone, but doesnt look llike it? Amazing...... having driven a paddle which do you prefer?
Including authenticity vs technology??
The car won at Silverstone classic… this is the shakedown at Donington
The best sounding Ferrari of all time!!! Sounds so unreal when you hear it irl!!!
@@duchenne_md6736 one of the reasons it was discontinued was because it was too loud to drive for more than an hour or so
A beautiful point of view and a wonderful car. Thank you
Absolutely BRUTAL
Dear God ,what an eargasm
Insane!!! One of the best videos ever!
Martin can still hussle a car. Nothing like a race transmission shift of those days.
If brundle senior (Martin) was driving this, the heel and toe would be much smoother.
To whomever preset the cameras Audio levels,... You Are A God.
Amazing! Thanks for the video!
WOW! Great way to start the day, that noise is something else
What is this sound...OMG!!! Perfect! :-)
The noise, the glorious noise! (I'm not talking about the engine, I'm talking about the "grunt" you made trying to turn the wheel at the start)🤣😂
Great video! What is the the red marker line at 3k? Is that the idle rpms?
Probably, otherwise she quits!
Pitlane speed limit
Awesome video, thanks!!!
Brilliant mate!

read brundle....most race car drivers are left foot only clutch, right foot toe on brake and right foot heel on gas, right foot is tilted at an angle
Awesome fascinating insight into an awesome machine. I know you would have been rev and tyre limited but how did those lap times compare to 2023 BTCC times...Just curious. Ace video
It’s miles quicker than a BTCC car
I recall a comparison test ( Motor Sport ? ) between a T70 , a 917 and a 512 .
The 512 was criticised as being simply too noisy for its driver over long periods.
It’s fine with earplugs
Should've been praised not criticised......😂
Great sound and drive Martin,i almost got the impression Donington Park is not big enough for such a monster engine tho'
This is why I will never go electric. Long live noise!
At the track.
@@artysanmobileso your the one who orders pumpkin spice frap with whip
That's got some thunder. Nice.
Ferocious! 👍
Jetzt weiß ich wie sich Siegfried Rauch gefühlt hat im Rennen gegen Steve McQueen...danke für den Clip.
There's no sound like a Ferrari the legendary Ferrari 512 M is a beast, Scuderia Ferrari.
Needs a much better circuit than Donnington.
Still good to see though !
Last night I watched an incar video of someone else driving a 512M in Italy and they too were having very "jerky" movements with the wheel. Is this simply from lack of front end grip?

@ These are actually a V12, it’s a common misconception that it’s a flat 12!
@@BrundleBTW OY! How embarrassing for me! LOL - I need to study up then. Thanks again.
Donington is so tiny for this beast, he can't even use 4th gear 😂.
Love that sound! Don't love a head-mounted camera, nausea-inducing! But run the video in a background tab, no probs!
No rev limiter may make you worried sometimes. 9000 RPM!!
crazy sound
What an absolute dream machine! The straights barely exist in this car.
My thought as well regarding the straights!
What track has 100ft of straight
Intense maaaaan 😅
porque o giro cai tão rapido nas trocas? pergunta de leigo
OK, now it’s my turn. 😊
wild thing - you make my heart swing...🤘😎🌞❤❤
This is Real Ferrari.
The Ferrari that we know, not those high tech cars of today!,
No hate to the present cars, but ya this is true, they are nothing compared to these❤
Wonderful ! Seemed to be under steering a bit, though. ;)
Ferrari Flat 12. There is no substitute!
What a vid! Might need a better mic to handle the clipping on this beast. More please!
Looks like a game somehow 😮
I do'nt quite understand right hand drive cars with the gear change... on the right. Why do you want to be reaching into the door pocket to shift gears?
The whole box is a bit of a strange setup on that. Feels like an afterthought
@@BrundleBTW That seems like something Italians would do in the 60s and 70s. Design a beautiful car, an amazing engine, and at the last moment realize they forgot the transmission.
@@mattorama pretty much!
Wow!
I need that engine in my civic.
Martin Brundle is a masterful conductor of the Ferrari V12 with his right foot…
it's his son Alex Brundle
I want to do this soooo bad 😢
I wonder if Alex (edit, sorry!) gave himself a little scare on his first flying lap into turn one when the rev counter flicked up past the red line?
@@katrinapaton5283 it’s Alex… and unloaded blips clearing the rev target are no big deal.
Wrongslotting it..would be a ‘house money’ issue
@@BrundleBTW Ok, so just me then!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I do not understand the tach rotation.
It's canted round so the redline/optimal gear change point is directly in the driver's line of sight
0:43 I’m sure the car is maintained better than that steering wheel.
That noise
400 KMH FERRARI 1970 REAL NA POOOOOOOOWER
❤
It doesn't get better.
FOR A WALK.. isn’t it??
No warm up needed for race cars? Hit 8000rpm instantly.
We’d warm it up for 20 mins or so in the garage if this was the first run of the day.
Which it isn’t.
@@BrundleBTW aah, ok. Makes sense.
🎉😂
BA!
No electric car will ever be this cool.
Wonderful. Yet this Ferrari failed miserably against the 917's.
🎶🤩👌
If i had to go deaf, I think this is how I'd choose to do it
Sounds like my 1.1L Ford Fiesta
Anyone want an EV?
Why drive on a track you can't even get out of 3rd gear on...............just wasted all this power.
