"Dash Patting, at your service, ma'am."
INSANITY. This is probably the coolest thing I've ever actually seen someone do. I mean think about it. The car is priceless. You're haul-assing it flat-out at Le Mans with other priceless old iron IN THE WET. You wad it up at those speeds, you most certainly die. Wow. What else does this guy do? Wake up in the…
aww. that literally gave me goosebumps.
Doesnt really get any better than this! The Mulsanne part is scary as hell even with the long and easy braking...
The dash patting at 3:55 is absolutely precious.
I love the part at 3:56 where he pats the dash in appreciation after the car keeps it together through a particularly wet turn.
Outstanding!
He's so good because he treats his car right. Did anyone else see him pet the steering wheel and pat the dash after that little step out at 3:45?
Absolutely. I own a 1969 Camaro RS/SS and it's a simple car but dammit if it doesn't get moody... but those days where she starts right up and is just pumpin along I find myself doing a similar dash board pat. The hard part is not getting angry on the bad days (I pay for no-charge specialist flat-bed service with my…
I love the dashboard love-pat after regaining grip coming around that first sharp corner @3:45
Every old car owner who enjoys spirited driving/racing understands this feeling all too well.
oh my god
At about 3:50 after some big oppo, this man pats the dash. my hero.
I love when he pats the dash as if to say "good girl, we got this." Awesome. Heart pounding video.
It was a wonderful race! i started in 3rd and ended up in 2nd. Unfortunately the GoPro that was pointing forward died after 15 min.. In The last part of the video you can see Mr. Voyasides (also in a 1965 Ford GT40) catching me in the last 3 laps and overtaking me in the last lap.
Very cool video. I loved the classic LeMans start. Too bad the cars had to go around those damn chicanes. The way the car stepped sideways in the rain tells me that one needs big cojones to pilot a GT-40 around LeMans.
