    How 'bout an M8F this time? Helmet cam view from historics at Laguna Seca.

    I'd rather the guy was a lot less tentative anywhere near the corners. Maybe the car is new to him plus according to the description "With more than 800hp under his right foot and not much downforce, Knoop is forced to respect the beast in the corners", but it's still plenty visceral whenever he lets it loose.

    I used to go to Road America every year to watch these cars in the Can Am series races. Standing at the Start-Finish line when the green flag dropped was like being in a 120-decibel earthquake. There's nothing like it today. :frown5:

    One more...maybe.

    This one is at IMS, looks like the latest configuration of the road course.

    Driving in an open cockpit at those speeds has to be the ultimate rush. Mr Pace you are a luck man :Thumbsup:

    Big deal, his laptime is only 41 seconds better than my best...:cornut:

    He missed twelve--it would have been even better.

    2:06--That's cooking!
