Youtube viewing figures never cease to amaze. Stuff that's dull, short or badly filmed (sometimes a combination of all three!) can attract huge numbers, leaving gems like this languishing with just a few thousand. Bemusing. Let's put that right.
This 10-minute video comes from last year's Oldtimer Grand Prix and is quite brilliant. Starting from the pit lane in his Jaguar E-Type, Al Buncombe charges his way through the field over a few laps. He's seen passing a Cobra in the last handful ofseconds and there doesn't seem to be anything ahead after that; even if it's not the lead then, he went on to win the race.
That he passes some of the backmarkers so easily isn't a surprise, it's almost frustrating in fact as you want to see more of the cars! Various iconic cars are cast aside including 911s, a Mercedes Gullwing and all manner of British roadsters.
Later on of course the overtaking manoeuvres take a little longer but are no less thrilling. And all the while the action is accompanied by that glorious straight-six howl and some deft inputs on the most beautiful steering wheel In The World. Enjoy the vid.
