Jim,

I should probably watch it again before speaking but I don't recall seeing anywhere where I thought he was doing anything unusual. In long sweepers most cars have a tendency to push a little. When that happens you need to ease off the throttle slightly to put a little more weight on the front so the car will turn. The trick is to be very precise and just make enough adjustment to balance the car. Like I said earlier I should watch it again because I don't remember anywhere where what I just described was obvious.

I am impressed how well the car handles-- he is on trailing throttle half way through those fast sweepers and the car is rock steady.
Any comments from the track drivers about that?
Stock Panteras, like most rear/mid engined cars, are not known for their tolerance of a trailing throttle at the limit in a turn.

Hi guys,
Hands-down, this is it—the best Pantera video on YouTube.   Michael Erlich 
a Swiss guy) racing a '73 Pantera (THPNNA05940) at Spa-Francorchamps in an 
ndurance race a few weeks ago.   He's pretty quick, manages to effortly 
ass a very badly-driven Lola T70 Mk IIIB coupe (!), and has a good dice with a 
hevron B16.
Professionally shot, both in-car and from outside, with CD-quality sound.   
t really is a revelation.   Crank up your speakers....
