  • Follow me for the start of the Spa Six Hours Race in the Pearsons Engineering Ford GT40. We start in eighth position and have a great battle, eventually moving up to 3rd by the end of the stint.

    One of the best cockpit vids I've seen. The GT40s are a handful, the scrapping is awesome, Mr Brundle a master of his craft 🏁❤️

    The Six Hours are such an amazing event to attend. Just walking around the paddocks and seeing all those beautiful machines. And the aesthetics when the sun sets and you just watch the lights fly by. And absolutely no mercy for those valuable cars, simply driving them how they were designed to be driven. And this onboard is also amazing to watch now

    Amazing, close racing is hairy enough nowadays, let alone when the cars are sliding around like crazy, let alone multiclass! Some of the best racing I've seen, Bravo! :)

    Great to watch the master at work. Although a GT40 won the 6H event outright (a 1966 spec sports proto type with 500bhp and one of nearly 20 taking part.
    It is amusing to note that less than a lap behind this winning 4700cc Ford was a 1965 Lotus Elan in the sub 1600cc GTS10 class...Indeed, there were 3 Elans in the top 8 cars, 5 GT40s. Congratulations in particular to Jordan Racing!

    • @BrundleBTW

      It’s all about fuel. Elans are not too far behind on pace and stop only once in the race.
      Although it’s also worth noting that all cars are limited to 100L per stop.
      If you allowed the GT40’s a full fill every time they would be further ahead. That said… it was an epic performance by JRT

    I'm exhausted - I couldn't have driven any harder - Oh wait, that wasn't me, but I'm still tired. Excellent driving. I certainly wanted to see the chrome horn given a few times. Nice restraint! One, if not the best video I've watched. Thank you!

    So insane. I just don't think I could ever nut up enough to drive like this, no matter what kind of training is thrown at me. Race drivers are just mentally wired different.

    Have to say it again...... Fuck you good thru Erouge and radion ..... your old man was just as good thru the very fast corners..... chip off the old block 👍 say cheers to ya old man for me. He’s was a very .. very underrated driver in F1. . If he had a decent drive.... he would’ve shocked a a lot of people. Anyway. Your driving style reminds me of ya dad. All the best champ. 👍🥃🇦🇺

    • @BrundleBTW
      @BrundleBTW  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      No, to be honest.
      But if they were you’d be talking about a 200 million £ grid. It would be uninsurable and the race wouldn’t happen. So… it’s this or nothing realistically.

      So I’d say they handle more like a 60’s car than the current originals. Because they are the same… but new. Just like they were then!
