Most people who know me generally acknowledge that I'm Bat-Sh*t-Crazy but my hats off to those fellas!

Great video and nice cars.

Love the old scenes from Monte Carlo and LeMans.

One question remains though, who would enter a race in a F102?

Brutal. Bodies flying out - ugh. The shot of the guy's car turning into a flaming marshmallow was nasty. We've come a long way.
