Oh man, great stuff. Can’t help but think what today’s mid-level performance cars would run sub-4:00s at the long Spa circuit. And not elite, high hp models either. I’m thinking Subies, S2000, MX3s and even these 300hp 6cyl Mustangs. The mind boggles at what engineers have done to make affordable cars perform at (1950s Formula 1) level.

And the awesomeness of being mere feet from those epic cars at full song. Long gone are those days.
