Woh that was exciting. I have no motorsport experience myself but it looked like both drivers knew what they were doing. I will sign up to a track day tomorrow.

Its a shame that that straight was sooooo long...he may as well have been parked, but thats what Yankmobiles do well...straight roads.

Nope the fog lights on the back means its more than likely a euro spec vette so a Z06 would have been faster (assuming that one was stock).

So it's a 1.8 vs .........

[Mr E]

I think they both rather enjoyed that....

[ZR1427]

Thanks for that,both me and my son enjoyed it

That was great ! The Elise driver was having a ball ! Reckon he fancied his chances for a while, and the Vette got a bit
sideways as well.

Considering he was conceding probably 100 - 150 hp, he did very well.

Great to see two good drivers giving it some !

This video was fantastic. I was rooting for the Exige all the way. Clearly he had the Vette in the tightest of the twisties, but the straights were no contest. In fact, having never been in an Exige, I was a bit suprised how quickly it did top out.

If I'm not mistaken, this was shot at Nurburgring, no?
