Interesting videos.

But at neither track is the car is being driven anywheres near really hard:

The engine isn't being taken up anywhere near redline, no hard braking on corner entry, no complaining tires through the corners, and not the slightest hint of wheelspin or fishtailing indicating an attempt at fast corner exits (although at Kershaw it may be because the track appears to be wet), so I don't think the videos are telling us much.

But certainly Olthoff's set-up would be a good place to start for sorting out a SPF GT40, barring any other information.
