I saw this car running in a vintage race event at Spa, Belgium last June. Great acceleration and sound. Not so great brakes and handling. Not a surprise. But it made me think it would be fun to see modern NASCAR equipment on the Spa circuit which is not as tight as the Sonoma track currently on the NASCAR schedule.

Yeah, on the gas a touch too early at the apex of the second chicane and she pushed and ran wide. Squirrelly on the brakes for the Mulsanne Corner; that will give you the willies.

Therefore I had an almost deserted track to myself. The Beemer was the first backmarker that I caught.
