Excellent. I always enjoy your videos. Your were seeing around 120 MPH in some areas. Nice!

Dijon seems narrow and fast; it's a different shape than Watkins Glen, but it has some of the same "feel" to me.

It was a surprise to see a Frogeye Sprite out there with so many "big" British sports cars. And I like the reverse start; we don't do that here (as far as I've noticed).

What was the red coupe that took the lead at the end of the second video? Maserati?

Thanks!
On the front straight I occasionally reach 120 mph. The track is like the Nordschleife, up and down, left and right and almost no pause to relax except the front straight.
The funny thing is that nearly all corners are off camber ones so you never get the feel that the car sticks.

The Sprite is a Monza one. Very fast on the straight, very light, revs up to 7500 or 8000 rpm. Pieter Bakker is the driver. Competitive car.

The red coupe is a Marcos GT 1800. Light and fast. Wood and plastic with wheels.

This was the first time we had a reverse start.

At the first race I had a battle with the green TR4 and we agreed that we would discuss that out on the track and made a bet, who will come further through the grid when starting from behind.

The organizer got known to our idea and surprisingly he didn't allowed us to start from last position but reversed the grid for all so that the green TR4 was few places in front an me was last.

Unfortunately I was to quick steaming through the field on the first lap so he lost track and never saw me in that race.
