I’m not entirely sure if I had posted this before or not, but here it goes anyway. It’s worth watching at least once every day.
It’s absoluting stunning to watch these race at speeds that could embarass F1 cars today. On the long straights, these were often clocked at 370+ km/h, and if you need some sort of visual comparison, just watch the video from 1m20s — those are 911 Carreras RSR with more than 350bhp and they’re overtaken as if they were bikes.
Racing at its best.
