Sounds good...couldn't see the video though...

Windows Media files often do that for me....not sure why..

I use a MAC though..

It looked kind of like an Audi R8 Le Mans car. Something like that for sure.

I actually get butterflies watching that. It's hard to imagine going that fast on an open road with cliffs on one side and rock outcrops on the other. :eek:

I think I stick to a nice safe race track for my kicks thank you.

You probably need to update your codecs. See if there is one available for the Mac that can decode Windows Media Video 9.

looks like somewhere in the Alps (Italy, France, etc take your pick) to me. Car looks like one of those LMP prototype class cars...

I was thinking Italy too. Maybe the old Targo Forio hill climb.
I was thinking Audi LMP, but those bad boyz are really wide, and this one in th video didnt look that wide, but it might just be the angle. Either way, nice vid.

Beleive it or not, but it's powered by a highly modified M20 (Dual cam head, very rare)

OK, I did a little digging. The car is not an Audi R8, it’s a Norma M20 powered by a 3.0 L BMW. He is doing a hill climb of Ste Baume in southern France just east of Monaco.

This is the driver’s home page and the car.
