I feel bad for Joao, he must have been scared to **** with her screaming and, yelling and almost hitting him and the gear shift several times .

If Sportscar racing should even get boring, then we should strap hysterical women beside the drivers

I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, but here's Hurley Haywood throwing around the Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO car from the 1989 Del Mar GP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q5meb2yB0w

Mark Blundell's pole lap from the Le Mans 1990. Just watch in awe as Blundell fights to keep this 1000+ horsepower beast under control
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1ECE...eature=related

Some Wesbank Modified Saloon car action from 1992, one of the most underrated series, at least during its heyday

Could have been posted before but I ran into these ones.

From the ´86 WSC race at Brands:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQos0TH6jxs (part 1, you´ll find the other 3 there as well).

Great interview with Eddie Cheever at the beginning of part 4!

Also great to watch is the last lap of the IMSA GTP series on the old Palm Beach street track:

Random video-related thought:

The #5 Mercedes-Benz CLR that flipped during the race at Le Mans in 1999 carried an onboard camera. I suspect the onboard footage of that moment should exist somewhere buried deep inside the ACO's video archives, and we know that Peter Dumbreck walked away from that crash... I wonder why we have never seen that piece of footage.

Interesting one. I think if it did exist they'd have used it. They don't seem to be shy in carting out that bit of exterior footage at every available opportunity.

Would have been insane to watch!
