Professional racing driver, coach and broker of exceptional competition cars... welcome to my life on four wheels!
Throughout my career as a professional racing driver, driver coach and, more recently, as a specialist dealer of historic competition cars, I’ve been privileged to experience some of the most fabulous racing machines ever created. During the noughties, I was lucky to race at Le Mans seven times, experiencing all of the classes, from GT2 (GTE), right up to LMP1. In the years since, I’ve focused almost exclusively on historic racing, which has opened the cockpit doors to cars I once couldn’t have dreamed of driving. And now, as the cars I raced professionally ‘in period’ become eligible for historic series themselves, the circle is completing. With this channel I hope to share and celebrate these incredible cars, so please hop in, buckle up, and brace yourself for high speed ride through race car history!

Today, Aston Martin is perhaps the most valuable brand in the world. Trading on its perfect blend of beauty, speed and style, what separates the brand from others laying legitimate claim to the same qualities are perhaps its competition heritage and quintessential Britishness. And while the company's origins predate this 1954 DB2/4, you need only take one glance to recognise that this is where ...

The 1981 3.5 litre Rover SD1 is an enduring icon of Group 2 touring car racing.

How sad, that India owns Jaguar/Land Rover, and makes them in Slovakia. The wealthy Brits care ONLY about money.
It goes through the Gears in such a graceful way, and before you know it it's like "wait woah!" we're going scary fast! That's how I see it that is. Hehe, so cool, thanks for sharing, love it.
Les jupes ne touchent pas le sol. Pourquoi??? De plus les gommes (Avon) AVD et ARD étaient usagées.
Gotta love the 996!... even teh base 911 is such a fun car to drive.
Nice car, but the Nissan GTP Turbo would whoop it like a red headed step child 😂.
Glorious
I can’t imagine taking such a fast car around a circuit like donnington….
Love the v8 sound❤
Must be such a joy to drive with that auto-blipper. Rev-match downshifting messes with my brain.
Ohh nice.. I am lucky enough to own a sister car to that . But my car is a 2,6 litre. Cheers from Sweden!
❤
Glad you mentioned frank dernie. Williams success is down to him, after all the car is an aero device.
This footage is absolute gold, never thought a c9 could be so rapid in fast weeping corners
0:24 that was a little pig 🤣
From when u had to learn a cars strengths and drive it accordingly to get the best. Fastest? - no. Great? - yes
Cette voiture et ce moteur sont fabuleux !!!
The video quality is sooo good. Quality>Quantity
This is phenomenal
This is a fantastic video!! Got me to hit the Sub button!! 🙌
The Le Mans starships at their very best, as good as it is having a competitive hypercar field, I can't help but miss how spectacular LMP1 cars were.
The mighty SD-1 was hands-down the greatest Rover ever! I LOVED those cars!
That red on that LMP2 race car looks amazing! Very eye catching in my opinion. 👍
One question. I've noticed that both 1982 and 1983 models of FW08 had a narrower rear wheel span, while the front wheel span was wider. I'd like some more information about the reasons behind that. Was it something to do with steering?
Imagine this car, the 333 Ferrari SP and the 787B together an engine symphony
6:33 they became one
Lovely innit
I always come back to this video. I remember when it came out I was mesmerized solely by the cover image
So you have to lift to upshift and clutch for downshift? Man, that sounds like a lot of work to do but also so rewarding to get right. I don't know if i should be amazed by how far we've come in the newest gt cars or dissapointed of how little work it requires to drive gt racecars nowadays.
*monstrously fast*
It won’t be today, but one day I’ll put a 1980’s F1 car in my garage. And oh yeah, I’ll drive its bloody wheels off too!
I so enjoy Sam's videos. Only wish they were more frequent and were longer. I don't enjoy any channel on CZcams more than I enjoy this one.
Ahh, this channel and Sam never disappoint. This is probably my favourite channel on CZcams now. This fills the gap left by Petrolocious, /Drive, etc. Oh, and that sound!
New stitching on the suit, Sam? Looks ace. Would you mind sharing specs/details on the suit? Gorgeous classic aesthetic. Wonderful quick gearbox on this Tyrell - are you clutching up and down or does it allow clutchless shifting on the dog rings?
Why the old F1 cars had their rpm gauges turned sideways or upside down?
Because it's easier to see through the steering wheel I think
It's like a drug, and I am addicted 5:13
A confusing time in GT racing for sure. So many Porsche 996s running in the "NGT" class all with a slightly different spec, all looking similar. Im curious as to how different the works RSRs were from the RSRs that were running in ALMS with Peterson White Lightning and Alex Job Racing.
This car is 😍👌
this thing was a beast in fm4
996 🔥📈💫
Driving this? I'd piss my pants if I saw it pop up my Ford Ka's rearview mirror, let alone drive it. Thank you for the video!
20 years old and who cares, perfect
keke rosberg number 1 f1 pilot, i am from brasil
What a beast..The C9 a C11 are my all time favourite racecars.
How this channel only has 7k subscribers is criminal.
Amazing. Could you not get a shot of those DP’s behind you? Lol
I have such a soft spot for the 996, I had a lovely 996.1 C4 Aerokit. I cant imagine how much higher the limits would be on a race car on slicks 😮 I'd love to see one day.
awesome fast 💨 ride 😮
Beast is an understatement
I just found this excalestric car awesome
When you beat the previous record by *seconds*, you know your car is super good.
