Thanks for the link. An awesome collection of cars. Love the Le Mans and open wheeler cars. You sometimes see some open wheelers at hillclimbs in NZ but nothing like that.

Bit sad seeing some of them crash. Being a ex-racer I know how much effort goes in to making a race car so I always cringe when I see crashes like those, at least they are all low speed crashes and nobody looks like they got hurt.

The sound in that clip is amazing. don't know how they got it so clear but it is just like you are there. Love the sound of a race engine.

thought you might enjoy it avenga yes the sound is really good and i know what you mean by watching crashes some of it is very cringeworthy,all that lovely metal getting trashed i closed my eyes when the dtm merc 190 did a big one

Yeah I was just thinking before the crash how good that DTM Merc looked. I love those wide body panels and all the spoilers under the back of the car. Looks so low and wide with soo many aerodynamic aid. It would be really interesting if they gave the same treatment to a V8 supercar over here. They look mostly stock with a few splitters and spoilers.

What a great video...gotta feel sorry for the guy in the classic Alfa GTV....a bit too greasy for the RWD cars!!
