Rather smashing video with some serious oversteer moments controlled with only one hand.

What is he doing with the other hand

[Scuffers]

blimey, can't hear anything over the noise of the transmission (Diff I assume?)

Sounds pretty mad inside I know, from how relaxed the driver is I'm surprised he has'nt fitted a CD player and had some whale song piped in.

This is the moment he went around the outside of Brundle's 250 GTO through No Name. Hill was fantastic and that 151 is a serious piece of kit - a brilliant addition to the TT grid. Though the battle for the lead wasn't disputed from the first corner, it was a wonderful TT and a chance to see the greats do what they do best. Brack was mesmeric.

Derek Hill was very impressive. The Cobra onboard Kenny Brack footage is incredible.. but not sure if it's on the web. Great skill.

Any excuse to put some old Maserati racers up here

Great cars, look a little odd from some angles, pulchritudinous from others.

Even better driving!

What about grand prix racing in the 1950's with only one arm - like Archie Scott Brown - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2752211/Archie...

My dad remembers watching him race at Oulton Park and he used to lean on the steering wheel with his body when he needed to change gear and was one of the 1st drivers to master the art of drifting his car.
Legend.

Great picture.

Funny, compaired to the 151 (895kg) the 250 GTO was rather tubby at 1100kg, compaired to some of its rivals it was very heavy, the Alfa Romeo TZ was 650kg!

Cant help it, but it looks a bit like a duck. A V8 racing duck.
