Ferrari 250 GTO '64 vs 3 Cobra's and 3 Shelby Cobra Daytona coupe's at Zandvoort! 

Warmup/Race/Walkaround the 250 GTO '64 by Roelofs Engineering: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GtLdUXLsGbw.html

I came here for the Shelby Daytona Coupes, but I love every one of these cars. Magnificent video!!

What topped off that day of exquisite machinery was the fact it was sunny there at Zandvoort!

The BEST era for sports car racing....... amazing.

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.

Honestly, how can anybody dislike this video?

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.

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.

Great sound from that Ferrari sweet music just the right amount of gurgle...

The Golden Era of road racing. That GTO is breath taking!

The Daytona's, and Shelby's were beasts. And the Corvette. But that Ferrari, wow. Couldn't be touched.

Loved seeing the XKE, Healeys, and even the Vette but loved the sound of those good ol; 289's in the Shelbys !

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!

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

Great audio, and gorgeous cars, they are all wonderful examples of automotive joy.

That Ferrari 250 gto is one of the most beautiful car in the world!🥰👍

all the cars are beautiful...but the Ferrari is work of art. have mercy

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!!

It's historically significant sweet old race car overload. It's hard to top that 250 GTO in looks or sound.

Zandvoort is a very beautiful circuit.

The good old era of racing :D Wish i was born in that time..but well, atleast we can still see them racing nowdays

Oh my gosh! Theyʻre really running hard! I love it!

#76 Cobra really taking those turns faster than the rest it seems, great driving.

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 GTO from Roelofs Engineering raced at the Goodwood 75th Member meeting 2017, starting from 15th on the grid and finished 4th! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nAsf2wUrdAc.html Onboard: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-07tl0LdN6uM.html

I hope there was some gentlemanly driving. I like that very bright turquoise E-type.

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.

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!

Holy shee-it! Those little bastards are fast! And good around corners too!

1966 on up to 1968 the daytonas was unstoppable 💡

IT APPEARS THAT THE GTO TAKES THE TIGHT TURNS CLEANER

I just simply love this chassis type of sports cars.

Great cars. Great video. The XKE Jag is impressive. Is it just me or do the 911’s seem.... well just neh?

TVRs & Healeys! Woo Hoo!

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.

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!

Hard to choose a favorite?

Man, those Daytonas looking good, sounding good. And the 250GT... Where the fuck was i at, why didn't anybody tell me.

The most beautiful GTO of them all s/n #5573!

I find it funny how every European car is vroom and raspy then ‘Murica like “rooOOAAAAAAAARRRRR” LOL

Superb video. Excellent!

great car's,

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....

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.

are these cars built to original specifications because of course they are not original. I am not complaining the video is excellent

A rich sport but great to see them out on the track

These cars are going around this track like they’re stuck to it ha ha ha lol 😂

So many millions I can't even count

6:25

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.

TVR TVR TVR 😍

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.

Onboard at the GTO by Roelofs Engineering: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-piaQm9cId2M.html And a longer video onboard: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_j3n4yHPZcw.html

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.

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.

This vid is sexier than a victoria,s secret show!

It's like they took a bunch of cars out of a museum and then said let's race

250GTO Le Mans hell of a car

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.....

My only suggestion is to hold the camera up a little higher! All the "action" in in the top half of the screen! (-;

What engine is in that Ferrari? Sounds great, I know it’s a rebuild.

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.

thank you for the video.. If you want to see some on-board footage of the GTO ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-piaQm9cId2M.html there you go.. Next time we will come back stronger, we had some problems with the tires.

Who won?

The turquoise 68 car , I think it’s a Jag ... is rad.

Mamma mia, tutti in derapata che emozione.

This GTO is beautiful and very cost (above 30 million € ?)

I just noticed 14 people didn't like this clip. What the hell....?? These Prius drivers must have turned in their classic iron during the horrible "cash for clunkers" campaign.

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 ....

that red daytona sounds exactly like a gt40

What is that car at 2:39?

Thats the Ferrari 250 LM, not the GTO

I love your video

Datsun 240 got inspired by the ferrari.

Are any of these cars original or are they all ((save the TVR) replicas?

Number 166,run your race alone?At the last position?

Quanto será, que custa um carro desses?? Alguém sabe?

Yes but, who won!? (That Ferrari was a beautiful sight!)

The XKE is one of the best looking cars...ever.

The series one body gto looks way sexier

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.

Isn’t that version of the GTO known as an LM?

What was that green #76?

Shelby Cobra-$1.5 million, Daytona coupe-$7.5 million, 250 GTO-$45 million and rising.

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.

The Cobra hardtops look....agricultural compared to the Shelby Daytona.

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

Probably Enzos personal Hell right here.

Watch the Ferrari Cobra Wars.

Too hard to fallow who the leader was and who was in what place very poor editing and needed some clue what cars were going for the win.

What car is the turquoise one at 8:16 ?

It will hit the magnificent Ferrari of 50M$

Title: There are no apostrophes in plurals = Cobras, Coupes,

What? No Grand SPOORT corvettes?

These 2 Shelby Daytona Cobras (green and grey) are not original Cobras because only some original Daytonas in blue color exist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qlhru1eh3cg.html

SO, WHO WON??
