At night at the festival of speed. Assume Le Mans Car of some sort, but not sure what?

Sounds about right. Even more likely give the Jaguar theme to this year I guess!

Slightly influenced by knowing there was one there because I read this earlier; http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2011/07/04/top-ten-nonf...

What swayed it towards the Mazda for me is the distance between the brake lights. The lights on the Mazda are closer together than on the Jag.

Exhibit 1 - Rear of 787B


Exhibit 2 - Rear of XJR-12


Exhibit 3 - Still from video


The brake lights in the video seem nearer together than they would be if the Jag was driving by!
