Looks like the old GT40 can still bring the heat on a track after all these decades. :rockon:

Awesome video. That's probably why I'm not rich cause I would do the same thing as this guy.

I would be beyond tense driving that thing. I'm paranoid of wrecking a $15,000 car. Can't imagine a car that costs that much. Luckily people with fatter wallets and bigger balls than me exist.

seen that a while back, he has balls to throw that thing around, much less at spa because Eau Rouge is no joke.

They aren't taking it at F1 speeds. I imagine Eau Rouge is much more tame at the speeds they're going.

Insurance. And if they have the coin to drop $7M on a car, then $7M is probably not a big deal to them.

Saw 'em auction off a Factiory 5 Shelby Daytona Cobra replica the other night on Mecum. It was at like $40K then they went to commercial...

They talked about this $7M Daytona that was was recently auctioned off. They said there were only 6 built , and all still live.:rockon:

Oh that sounds SO awesome. Raw V8 heaven. I could never do that in a $7M car, though. Unless I was a multi-billionaire. LOL.
