monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 Who, me?? Never. Just thought it was interesting that in the 60s and early 70s American cars were quite popular racing tools over here. And, of course, it's fun seeing them hassled by cars with no more than 1.8 litres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, of course, it's fun seeing them hassled by cars with no more than 1.8 litres. And quite a bit lighter than the 'merkin cars too! It's interesting to see the Camaro easily pull away on the straights, but is then caught up in the twisties. All these old races show that good racing, the sort of racing most people love to watch, is made possible through mechanical grip...the rubber meeting the road.

It's interesting to see the Camaro easily pull away on the straights, but is then caught up in the twisties. Somewhere, I have footage from the Nordschleife shot on board a race-ready Elise; he comes upon a Corvette, and is just all over the damn thing in the twisty bits, but whenever the track straightens out, the 'Vette just pulls away. All these old races show that good racing, the sort of racing most people love to watch, is made possible through mechanical grip...the rubber meeting the road. Hey, that's my mantra! I should charge a royalty on it or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
