@15:59 100%. I had the privilege of briefly racing a full aero car that would do about 2.2-2.4Gs and it's a very weird sensation. My street car would do over a G with the right tires, but in order to get a car to stick at over a G with aero you have to get the tires up to temp, have the car going at a speed in which the wings can create enough downforce to work and then say, "F it, here goes nothing!" Then all the sudden instead of sliding off the corner in a linear fashion, the damn car just glues itself to the tarmac and you feel the squish of the tires melting just enough to carry you through. It's a very weird sensation and I think that's harder to predict than mechanical grip where it's completely dependent on a driver's finesse.
Every time Sir Stirling talks you put background ‘race’ sounds to his words. Why ? This is a trope that the listener has to have this background crap on because the speaker might sound boring. Cut it out. It ruins the great man’s words.
OMG I remember this series, Sterling Moss, what a legend. I love the one where they take that IMSA Ferrari through that quiet isle Autumn road.

All-round excellent driver Vic Elford "Quick Vic"

Please reduce background race sound, or turn up commentary.
Extrem danger 😬😱
