Several years ago I was at a goldtrack event at the 'ring where one of these showed up.

Never managed to bump into the owner, but good god was it fast. Had to have been hammering past our Elise on the main straight at a good 100mph speed differential!

If a very good friend of mine had not sold his LM a couple of months back I would have gladly asked him on your behalf. He purchased the LM from Peter Cook who probably was the guy on the track day. Real nice bloke.
Shame poor old Jacque did not get a chance to soften off the bump and rebound settings, he probably would not have to have stopped to recover his false teeth from under the dash.

Sounds even better blasting past you at the best part of 200...

(We were doing 100, he went by like we were standing still!)

Same guy also had a 911 Gt-1 with him... Utterly incredible machinery.
