Thanks, nice video. The FIA is a nice handling race car. That GT40 was sure burning some oil upon acceleration!

Lots of smoke on decel too. Tired engine?

I was following a Corvette with a big block at Watkins Glen a couple of years ago and something went in his engine going into turn 8. You could not see him or the track the smoke was so thick. I backed off so that I did not hit him and followed the trail of smoke through turn 11and then it went away as he pulled into the pits. Not sure that I would have taken the car that far with that much smoke billowing out of my pipes.
