The way the V12 gets switched off just in time to be greeted by a V10 Formula 1 engine going at top speed is just a spectacular final flourish to this video.
When I went to my first 24 hours of Daytona. In 1996. I touched the 333SP. And Mr Moretti car. And he saw me touch the engine. And I got scared. And pulled away. And he said. No keep touching. And I thought it was work of art. And still is. And the battle between the Riley and Scotts Oldsmobile Aurora. And Dyson's Ford. Man the battles on the track. Along with Mr Mazda Jim Downing.
I raced at Dayton's and the death part is very easy to achieve. When you are on the banks you cant see more than a 100 feet in front of you. At 200mph its your life in your hands. The banking feels like 90 degrees and you actually have to turn the wheel to the RIGHT to stay on the banking unless you are going over 175, You just stare at the lines in the road and hope no one stops in front of you. . Porsches actually had a window in the ROOF so you can see in front of you. I would never race there again but love to watch. @@Tiagogamercrafts
The first time I heard this thing singing down the home stretch and shifting down to enter the infield was the last time I cared about any other car on the track for a few hours. Kept us going through the night as well!
After the run, I would want to just sit there in the silence for a few minutes and decompress... slow my breathing, feel my heartbeat get back to normal, stretch my fingers some.
hello martin will always follow on youtube compliments for cars that you drive The F2001 and 'just wonderful, I wanted to ask a pleasure to have the chance' to take a picture to display the F2004 car when its engine is running inside the box?
The Magneti Marelli data will tell you speed, it just doesn't show up on the dashboard when you're driving. Mostly because it's not necessary information to the driver.
