Guy needed new underwear on the approach to Brunchen !

Great video, if you have driven the Ring you would be in awe of the car (and driver).

Want one.....wonder how much

Don't know corner names there but I assume it was the big handfull of opposite lock at close on 100mph !

Impressive drive.

You REALLY have to hope that the other drivers are watching their mirrors when you're passing them at 100mph faster than they're doing!

And he did have a moment at 6'30" into the video, didn't he!

Some info from a thread on another forum

"Steve used to own it and had it dynoed at 690bhp and 600ft/lb,

Italian car. - The driver is the owner of the car dealer in Bergamo (selling mostly lotus and exotics).Caterham and GD importer Mythoscars.

He is a skilled non-professionist driver, very often at the Ring. He suposedly is the same person that sat the ring record in the Caterham R500.

Available for sale, if u have spare of 170.000 dollars..."

Cheers

Thats mad!
I love the T70 its on my wish build list.
I does worry me though as Im going to the ring and the speeds that that is going you could check your mirrors a hundred times and still not see that coming. I want to spend my time going round concentrating on looking forwards not backwards otherwise I will make a mistake!!

Just drive predictably, not changing lines suddenly etc. The vast majority of crashes at the ring are either because of people driving beyond their ability and crashing on their own, or people moving across the track unpredictably.

Outstanding, love the fact that toward the end of the clip, he checks his mirrors just incase there is something faster coming
