Brilliant !! The guy in the Alfa is mad, interesting to see the 356 has it in a straight line, and as for the noise of the little Fiat 8)

All credit to the Alfa driver too - goes off track, gets back on and still neck and neck! Two of my favourite cars ever... 8)

Someone on the video thread says it's an MGB - I'm not sure - could be I guess, but I can't really work it out 100%...

Typical MGB (low value) racer, adopting the 'drive it like you hate it' style. I bet the MGA driver waited for a very very big gap before he lapped that one.

Having said that, not the smoothest lines from the 356 or the Alfa but pretty ballsy racing. I wonder if they actually touched doors.

Did you see that American thing (Fairline?) slingshot the start grid Yeeha!
