What a wonderful sound that is!!

Typical Bee~Em driver ~ trying to overtake everything ...

Was a nice sound though ... lots of engine braking too... Class.

most notable for the stuff he has passed, Lovely 935k6 (i think) in there, a car far quicker than a procar M1 in its day. but what is the blue car with 2 white stripes at around 4m20?

Alpine A310 maybe?

the 935 was the Kremer "Vaillant" Porsche 935K2 driven by Bbob Wollek in 1977.
at 4:20min the blue/white is a DeTomaso Pantera Group4

Great video

There was 2 of them in the classics race before the Nurburgring 24h race. So cool.

Mind you the most entertaining was an old Merc saloon doing powerslides around the 1st chicane.

Straight sixes.

Gotta love 'em!

pretty sure the Kremers in 77 were standard 935's their development version K3 with that rear wing set up arrived in 1979.

Yes you are right, I initialy thought the blue car was an Alpine A310 but it is the DeTomaso.

The flame outs from the other M1 are spectacular given its a normally aspirated motor.

Great days gorn forever.

What's the blue saloony/coupe type thing he follows through the first few corners? Bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing, flying past a couple of Porsches.

Mrs k & I were at Oulton Park for a BSB round back in 2006 and there was a 250-6, 3 lap demo run between races. We were, at the time, viewing on the inside of Druids, and we could hear that little Honda rounding Shell Oils hairpin at the opposite side of the track! Hair-on-end does not come close to describing the noise when it went past. Just magnificent.

sweet! love the bit at around 2.27 when you can see, through the mist and gloom ahead, one of the cars spitting flames on the overrun. class



roll on the beginning of the motorsport season again!

ETA: that'll be my 1000th post! woo!
