So much for Vintage Racing being a "genteel" sport! Jesus!

How many of them are the real deal vs restos?

Still think an eco-boost sounds good?

Amazing how close they let personnel at the pit wall that aren't there for a purpose. A bit scary....

Those Fords do sound great though!

Unusual line many of the drivers seemed to be choosing, very wide late entry, and nowhere near the apex? Staying wide of the faster drivers?

That camera angle is just after the exit from the very tight chicane which deposits you on the right hand side of the pit straight (which isn't really straight as you can see). The next corner (Madgewick) is right at the end of the straight and is a fast right hander so you would naturally be gradually moving from the right to the left of the track as you motor down the straight in readiness for Madgewick.
