Video: The perfect view of how powerful GT40s are

Can’t guess? It’s the Whitsun Trophy, which has a mix of Can-Am cars and GT40s so grunty that Thor himself would have second thoughts about whether they could move his hammer. Just to prove that, here is a video filled with raw trackside content of said Whitsun Trophy. It’s a four-minute blast for the ears with some very basic editing thrown in, filmed pretty much entirely from Madgwick. 

It’s not only a great demonstration of how powerful and noisy these big V8s are, but also of how much of a handful driving one is. Proof if ever needed that Can-Am cars and GT40 are definitely about the victory of grunt over friction. And, for reasons we can’t explain, for some reason the Whitsun Trophy in 2010 featured a couple of Ferrari sportscars too, so you can enjoy the beauty of a 250 LM for some reason thrown into the mix.
