Seriously fast car and distinctly nimble in appearance and drive compared to the larger turbo-cars of the day. Finished second in 1984 Detroit race with Brundle, but was disqualified for illegal ballast. May have been an effort by the authorities to get rid of the non-turbos. I remember watching Brundle and Bellof throw their cars around, particularly Bellof who was crazily drifting the thing!
He is braking very early. No point in wading up a million dollar car when he is that far ahead. He also runs a vintage Formula Ford and is always right up front. I believe Dario Franchitti was 4th in this race.
OK, a modest proposal.... Now that we already have EFI, IRS, and five-speed sequential gear boxes in NASCAR, and given that their engines have absolutely no production car relevance anymore anyway, and that if anything, they are too reliable... Replace all V8 NASCAR engines with a modern reproduction of the DFV. Still a V8, only 3 liters (you know, for economy...), and can you imagine the sound of 40 of them at the start of a race?! Granted, the super-speedways may pose a bit of a reliability problem, but all those engineers need something to work on anyway...
I saw Brundle many times, starting with F3 through to F1 and Le Mans, and I well remember seeing him in this car, and Belloff, great days, and great cars! Sadly today's F1 and it's cars are, excuse my French, a pile of 💩
The great thing about the older cars is the engine sound.
Love it thanks for the vid .
And the bodies... 😉‼️💯🛢️🔥🏎️🏁🤓🇨🇵
Very well-produced video, great audio.
J'étais à Hockenheim lors d'un abandon de Michele Alboreto sur un bris de ressort de soupapes V8 DFY Cosworth 😊
Another great car!
Such a special event in such an incredible part of the world.
I cannot wait to return to the Monterey Peninsula.
wow, nice race Martin

Martin Brundle drove the car in 1985 however Steve Romak raced it at Laguna this year.
1:18 lap right out the box, impressive for a nearly 40 year old car....

What a car it's good to see it's still dominating the tracks well done .. . Up thr Tyrrell s
The vibration from the Cosworth DFV is causing the camera to distort
This engine is a killer... 😉‼️💯🛢️🔥🏎️🏁🤓🇨🇵
Ken, Martin, we love you!
glorious sound. new f1 cars sound like a outboard boat motor by comparison.
the downshifts at 1:34 are satisfying
Insane sound... v8 ford cosworth
That DFV. Music.
Drive it like you stole it!
Can we have the six wheeler someday?

car seems easy to drive at seca....

Sounds like that would give Grandma in her wheelchair a real race for the money.. she absolutely goes crazy when there's money on the line. 😈
Music to your ears
