Cobra Daytona in-car footage around Goodwood

Post by gordon »

Guys,

Check out this in-car video of a Cobra Daytona lapping Goodwood. Watch the driver struggling with the brute horsepower and suspension and tyres of the day:

Its hard to imagine doing this for 12 and 24 hours as would have been the case back in the '60s when they ran at places like Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans.

Enjoyed looking at that. The car seems to be a real handful, with oversteer on demand. The car wasn't even being really extended (the needle on the tach. in the middle of the dashboard hardly ever goes past the halfway point on the dial) !

Looking at the US$25,000,000 value of that car, I wouldn't have been extending it too much either!
