[@KasperStoltze]

That rejoin in the exit of La Source seemed outright dangerous though, forcing two other drivers off track.
Great footage otherwise, what a car it is!

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Indeed, it was dangerous and the driver who took the start should have been black flagged.
But there is also another GT40 incident @7:25 where the "Ford GT" (1) N° 98 literally pushes a white Mustang off the track entering Fagnes corner.
(1) these are replicas to 1966 specification unlike the rest of the field in pre 31/12/65 spec.

@@Andrew-vx2lso be fair the gt lost control. You can see him try to correct it then hit the mustang

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

@@jesusg853 The SC had only pulled in and the Mustang left plenty of boulevard of space. As you say, the GT driver was clearly panicked but that does not make it any better! 😀

[@mrthunder8190]

Downright rude...But, racer mentality - get back into the fray and head back towards the front, whatever it takes.

[@mjcooperman]

Well that was exciting!

[@johntisbury]

Great footage and racing. Sound was awesome.

[@tomasvana6925]

Fantastic

[@jordomayor5224]

Bloody BRILLIANT racing and what skills this driver has is quite something and also how these beasts still get hammered around the course as though they still had Ford Motor Company financing them. Hahahahaha, just keep such videos of these fantastic cars coming. Thanks a million for sharing

[@colinrunciman5166]

Yes working very hard ,pal rgdsColin

[@stephandekker2991]

Amazing video. Very nice guys. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

[@Nixsolekanto46]

Absolut Geil

[@bisaiah9797]

4:36 TO 4:52.... beautiful driving.

[@olin1078]

Bravo le dépassement avant le drapeau vert à la fin du SC!

[@arkhsm]

That was some seriously good driving. Thank goodness he didn't pay dearly for that early cold tyre spin !!

[@colinrunciman5166]

Think he just took a risk!!

[@TheCarspots]

Top !!

[@colinrunciman5166]

Thought same, a difficult to answer, a beast well raced though

[@wareidav]

Track limits Sir !!! Awesome sound and a seriously committed drive... Passenger ride anyone ?🤣

[@Tilt02]

Excellent pilote...😂

[@slordigaard]

is there any prize money in spa six hours ?

[@gtrmaxvdb99]

No, only champagne and trophy

[@teabagmcpick889]

Great car. Questionable driver.

[@BlackbirdDH]

Spin in first corner ... unsafe rejoin driving two other drivers into the gravel ... you need to stop playing Assetto Corsa man.

[@Stubs66]

Scarey, seems a bit of a pig to drive, a bit of lock and it wants to swap ends, understeer to snap oversteer and slow heavy steering, all GT40’s are like this .. ?

[@jcgabriel1569]

Well, a motoring journalist once tested a GT40 and a Ferrari P3/P4, and said that in terms of handling, the Ferrari is much better.

[@jordomayor5224]

I would guess they're not all like that and that it all depends on the budget ones running such a potent car on?

[@rolux4853]

It seems like the GT40 drivers are the real mustang drivers after all..
Doing dangerous stuff and almost causing harm to others

[@Motor-City-Mike]

Yeah, Enzo thought so too....
'Til they kicked the prissy cars and their driver's asses.
Brute force overcame finesse.
No one said the GT40 was a Silver Cloud, nor a Bentley.
(This guy is in a little over his head...)

[@Motor-City-Mike]

@@rolux4853
Just one step past Mustang, right next to Corvette drivers - money, no skill, hubris by the truckload.

[@Motor-City-Mike]

A serious race car piloted by a questionable (or intimidated) driver.
You drive a GT40 or it drives you.

[@arkhsm]

What ? After the spin he took it from 16th to 1st !!

[@colinrunciman5166]

Yes!!!

[@geoffmcconville5410]

Mmm brilliant but initial over driving followed by red mist recovery drive. Theses things have poor brakes and woeful grip.
Not sure the car would have made another 30 mins!

[@Post.nut_Clarity]

he's lucky that little stunt didn't retire him *_or_* the other handful of drivers who could've easily been taken out by it... it's a six hour race, man. there's no need for such aggression (or irresponsibility) at T1 on the *_first lap!_*
decent race, otherwise... you doofus, lol.
