Video of the Week: Ferrari 512M at Spa

The driver here is really pussyfooting his way around, but do I care?  The sound is still magnificent and he's still faster than all the other cars out there somehow...

Make sure you watch in HD. Makes a massive difference!

Video of the Week: Electrifying Austin Healey 3000 at Spa

I had no idea a race-prepped Austin Healey sounded this good! Spectacular and ballsy driving to match the brawny exhaust note.

Automobiliac video of the week: Vintage Porsche 911 2.0 cuts like a power oversteer knife through Spa qualifying traffic!

This Porsche 911 driver really has a sense of how to get the most of his car's handling characteristics.  911's are notoriously tail happy, but he doesn't seem over-concerned about that as he confidently powers through the fast bends at Spa with a healthy dose of opposite lock.  This is committed driving at its best.  The fact that he can blow away that Porsche 904 (1:11), not to mention 2 other 911s really demonstrates how much speed he is carrying.  Watch how quickly he closes in on that Ford Falcon as he exits Eau Rouge (0:45).  It is almost as if they Falcon driver hits the brakes! And the 3-abreast pass (2:32) around the E-type and what looks like an MGB is pretty hair raising also!
