Pretty cool video !!

 

[Jack]

Awsome!

Looks and sounds just great, Martin. The circuit also looks fantastic. Not much traffic!

 

[MWGT40]

Indeed - the circuit is amazing, fantastic facilities that are second to none. There were other cars there - in fact Darius, the Pop Idol finalist, was sharing the pit garage with me. He went off the circuit in a Ferrari F430 Challenge and injured himself (as well as the car). He was taken to a hospital in Spain where he had to stay for a few days before he flew back to London. He is expected to be in a neck brace for up to 6 months.

The circuit is very twisty for a GT40 - it has 26 turns! It is 5.4 miles long.

Looks you had a great time out there!

Car looks and sounds great indeed.
What kind of exhaust is in there?

 

[MWGT40]

It is a full crossover system with straight through pipes like the original cars and is made from mild steel.

Love the sights and sounds....

[Malcolm]

Nice one Martin. Take it no sound testing there?

 

[Mark]

Nice one Martin.

May I ask what the blue flashing thing is in under the dash on the passenger side?

 

[Frank Catt]

Mark, that " blue flashing thing " is a digital oil temperature / fuel pressure guage, it is not flashing, but I think the visible flashing on the video is something to do with the camera recording speed. Coupled to the guage are also two very small high intensity lights directly in front of the driver, which indicate both high and low settings as a warning signal, Frank

Thanks for explaining that to me Frank. Leads me to another question, but I'll post that elsewhere to avoid hijacking this thread.
