Nice video.

And girls going wild without shirts are always welcome.

Many thanks,
Andrew.

Amazing project and what a great thread thank you again for posting your projects and sharing with us all. I do have one question after reading this whole thread. With all the press you have given Ferrari have you approached them or they you to lend a hand with this upcoming project? Technical, financial, parts support??
Thanks
Mike

Especially after the 458 Italia looks sooo much like a heritage product from the P4/5

Amazing that a car that has problems on the first lap could return to do so well. I guess 24 hours allows for a lot things to happen.
LOL - The A-M at 3:30 with the cockeyed RF wheel sans tire would not give in and kept going!

BTW, I didn't see those girls at 2:25

I just noticed something...

On the same weekend of the 15th and 16th of May 2010 there will be:

-The 24hrs of Nürburgring
-The Monaco Grand Prix
-The Mille Miglia

Aren't there enough weekends in one year to spread out the events...?

I was hoping to go at all three events. I guess not...

Only one of those is creating history.

This kind exemplifies how there is no real English coverage of this event. I can even get the free practice sessions in German. I've sat through a few DTM races in German, but a highlights real almost needs commentary.

No, the Monaco Grand Prix Historique is held the 1st and 2nd of May.

In any case, if P4/5 makes it, I'll try my best to go to Germany.

After all, the MC GP is only a few meters from my house every year and also the MM is always there...

Thanks for your input, James. Can't wait to see it in action.

Same link as above, but I would have Autoblog.com remove the phone-numbers and e-mail addresses from the photographs....

I think James is okay with the information being out there as he specifically sent those photos to me for publication. Makes it easier for sponsors to get in touch I presume.

This gets me excited for next year. The 24hrs of Nurburgring is such a cool event.

WOW!

That was some really CLOSE racing throughout and the speed at which they were passing backmarkers was incredible. It often looked like the Porsche 911 was faster but the driver of the Ford GT really made the most of the road to keep him behind. What ultimately made the Ford GT lose it in clip 4? Was he just pushing too hard to get away from the Porsche 911 or was it the backmarker being in an odd place that made him lose his racing line?

All the best,
Andrew.

PS:
Jim, any chance you'll be mounting an in-car camera in the Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione?
