You seem to be pulling this from somewhere I believe the only commentary posted on the video (and not even here I might add) was on YouTube and it stated:

"Tony Martin driving a Backdraft TD car passing a Superformance GT40 for
the win, during The Mitty at Road Atlanta."

What part of this is misleading or inaccurate?
