@nerobi there's another clip on that 26R with Dickie Meaden... [watch it change direction at 3:15]

Nice review of the Evora 430s

1971,  F1 Team Managers' Race. 10 laps of Brands Hatch for a few people you may have heard of driving Ford Escorts.

That was brilliant. The smile (grimmace) on Chapman's face was superb.

[hedgerley]

Love the commentary as well. No doubt Chapman's drivers had a wry smile on their their faces as the famed Lotus reliability/fragility kicked in and denied him the win. Even though it wasn't a Lotus....

I actually quite like it from an effort POV as looks like someone has worked hard to achieve that look. I wonder how it stands close up? 

Good find Mark and not badly priced considering the money which must have been sunk in.

Dave ?

The Esprit is a beautiful, clean and sleek design. Why would you want to do THAT to one? If you want a Ferrari buy one, don't bastardise a true classic to mimic one.

[Barrykearley]

Or buy a Chaved MR2....

A fine upgrade for the budget-conscious Esprit owner!  I just gotta get me some of those.

I do like Catchpole's stuff. Always beautiful cinematography and enjoyable content. Here Henry takes our Matt Becker's latest project on a jaunt into Andorra - just because.

I always like it when an F1 driver goes out to play.

 

[Advantage]

Ughhh, that couldn't have been more forced if it was scripted.

You can hear Chapman's car go off as it passes before that last corner.

Splendid stuff! More exciting than any of the F1 GP’s this year!

Right guys , you might not appreciate the first but it does have a 907 engine. As for the second I think you'll love it!

 

[Bibs]

Ouch! 

 

[C8RKH]

Glad drivers were OK. The slow motion photography from the behind the barrier was stunning its clarity.

This is what 284 mph looks like:

Interesting video on the Esprit V8 which shares its garage with a Diablo and 928.

I’m bet that he’s glad that he jumped out of his car to ‘help’. Not. 

[Bibs]

He should have driven past the accident and then parked up. His stopping there caused more cars to crash by the looks of it but I appreciate heat of the moment and trying to help.
