[DeTomaso] comments from track drivers on The best

[Patrick Hals]

I've read all comments and seen the video.
The car is racing in Spa (Belgium) a couple of weeks ago, which is so to 
speak " in my garden", and that i know quite well.
The race is a "Classic Endurance racing " race ( see 
www.classicenduranceracing.com" which is a European series organized by 
Peter Auto, the organizer of Le Mans Classic and French Tour Auto.
The best classic race cars from all over Europe ( and sometimes, Japan, 
Australia or the US ) participate to this highly selective series.
You can find the results of the race on their website, in the "Spa" section.
What I can say, apart from all technical and practical comments made on the 
forum, is that the driver has made a record lap in 2 minutes and 43 
seconds.
This is 5 seconds faster than I ever did with Candy , but, honestly,  he 
probably is a better driver than me ! Thumbs up to him, and to me, there are 
even places where he could still possibly be half of a second to a full 
second faster, as his trajectories are not 100 % perfect, and he misses the 
apex sometimes !
The engine takes RPM's like there would be even more to come, the car seems 
to be glued on the track ( I wonder what tyres and rubbers he used ), brakes 
seem powerful and endurant ( my main Candy problem) and I can go on and 
on.... well, to make a long story short, I am impressed ! Congrats to him. I 
just hope we shall meet with him at Le Mans Classic very soon.
