GT40

You have the opportunity to drive someone elses GT40, but it rains and leaves the track more slippery than a wet bathroom floor, what do you do? This is what Indy Car driver KENNY BRACK did at Goodwood

What a great bit of driving ;). He used every bit of tarmac but was still much quicker than the blokes driving on the safe lines.

Quick.....and fit to drive at level of intensity!

"Qualifying for the exclusively Ford GT40 race at the 2013 Goodwood Revival was held under wet conditions that made the 2.4-mile Goodwood Motor Circuit a decidedly slippery mess. Swedish driver Kenny Brack, winner of the 1999 Indianapolis 500 and the 1998 Indy Racing League Champion, seemingly shrugged off the track conditions. While his hands are never still for virtually the entire lap, the 47-year old Brack took command of the powerful GT40 he shared Red Bull Racing Formula 1 engineer Adrian Newey to post the second fastest qualifying lap for the Whitsun Trophy"
