Some not-so-great images of some of the GT40s that took part in todays Whitsun Trophy.

They had this lovely display set up celebrating the GT40 and it's success at Le Mans.

Didn't have a great view for this race to be honest, but here's a video of the start of the formation lap:

and racing speeds:

Adrian Newey went on to win the race after a poor start (the driving duties were shared with Kenny Brack).

Ho-ly Crap.

Oh, and $kay, try your best to contain yourself. I know it's overwhelming, just take deep breaths and you'll be fine.

This post will cause flooding in Southern Colorado, if you know what I mean.

I literally just laughed out loud at that. Now my family is looking at me funny.

I'm no fountain of knowledge on the GT 40, but I thought it had a limited production run.

I'm not an expert either but Wikipedia says there were 107 produced.

Holy cow, Minardi! That's almost more than I can handle at one time! What a breathtaking experience that would be. Just WOW!

After I posted earlier when it was going on I realised there was a live stream available at the Goodwood website :(

I'm not sure if the GT40's will be racing again tomorrow but they may still be doing a demonstration run. Worth looking into.
