Default Monday coffee break

A trip around the Nurburgring in a GD Lola T70 Replica.

I never knew such a car existed but I want one. British design, American power, Italian dirver, German track, that's my idea of diversity. As point of interest, he turned a lap of 7:45. To put that in perspective, a car buddy of mine was there in 1964 when Surtees broke the 8:00 minute barrier in a F1 Ferrari. Believe me, the German crowd was very understanding of that effort and roared their approval.

Very nice footage, Dave! The GDT70 even looks a bit like an old Ferrari.

Wow! I said to myself "I'll take a look but I'm not sitting here for 9.45 minutes to watch this..."

THEN, I found that I couldn't stop watching....and went to the full-screen mode

Thanks for sharing, Dave....although most of my day is a "coffee break" I copied the url and will share with my bro...might be the highlight of his day...

Wow, great footage!!! He was blowing by everything and I think I saw a couple Porsche's, maybe a GT2? He went by them so fast I couldn't tell what most of them were. Thanks for sharing.
