If you are going for 50 year old race cars then look no further than duelling Cobras. It was estimated that there was about £15 million worth of cars on the track this year in the 50s and 60s revival race.

Loves me some Shelby's, but that's a couple levels below GT40

I like state of the art tho, Formula 1 is the pinnacle, but that's practically aerospace

I'm a big fan of Le Mans too, PT FTW.

Prototypes at Monza, Corso Italia.

Funny that you say Le Mans. I was just watching this after I posted the Cobras.
180 mph down the Mulsanne Straight in the early 1950s.

50's way before my time.

I remember when this was the bleeding edge tho.

These are the "classic" cars to me.

Not bad for a souped-up VW Beetle.

Battleship grey like James Bond's Bentley. Very nice.
