All other things being equal, a GT40 replica will weigh about 1000 lbs less than a Pantera. Or, roughly 1/3 less. That is a BIG difference! A well-driven GT40 will therefore run away and hide from an equally well-driven Pantera, again, assuming similar tires, overall level of preparation etc.

The fact that you could stay with him speaks highly of your car and your talents (or, perhaps speaks poorly for his car and his talents, either way....)

I'm glad things ended with a benign, albeit spectacular-looking spin, rather than something more violent. Remember that Patrick Hals got seriously crossed up in the Candy Car at Spa a few years ago when he got the Radillion all wrong and wound up banging both sides of the car into the walls...
