    Recent video of the gas-turbine Rover-BRM. The "improved" 1965 version, I'm guessing, since it isn't wearing the 00 sported by the 1963/4 car when it ran Le Mans. It's just an engine start but that's more than I've seen before and still pretty impressive.

    Wow......several things to like about that video. Nice catch first of all. Nice to hear an engine with a decent torque range and a lower rev limit. Gated shifter for the us old farts. Ahhhh....the good old days.

    e Mans is a race against time, the elements, the traffic. It's about fighting against many enemies on the track.

    For us, winning is not only coming first, it’s getting out of the track knowing you couldn’t have done better.

    It’s not only about miles, about speed, about a second. It’s all about a state of mind.
    Because we are racers.

    If you have not watched it, you need to download Truth in 24, which is available FREE at iTunes. It is amazing.

    Here is a clip from it where Alan McNish takes you through a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
