    Lemans Lap with the C6-R

    Badboyvettes provides this video of an on board camera on the monster C6-R. It's definitely an interesting site and is worth a look. Its a shame Gavin's car this year had a drive shaft failure due to conditions under the safety car. Anyway, have a look at this video as well as others.

    Wow, that is some good footage there.

    That's some strong duct tape too. Really primitive but it works.

    Reminds me of a lap through GT4.

    Question- are parts of the Musalanne Straight (spelling?) public road? I see road signs and markings on the road there.

    Wow.....the thing that struck me first was the sound of what appeared to be 2 C6R's and 2 S7R's all in close proximity.....4 427cui pushrod engines together.....holy crap thats kinda scary hahaha.

    Yes, that's impressive indeed.

    However, I really like the fact that the S7-R driver signaled close to entering the pits. Driver courtesy for sure. They really aren't required to signal when racing right?

    No, parts of the Mulsanne Straight aren't public road. It's ALL public road!

    The route N138 to be precise.

    Nice video, but I don't see the GT1 class surviving through 2010.

    Those BMW M Coupes looked great.
