Firstly I must say it looks fantastic. But;
Interesting the terminology used, they call it a race. But the video shows single cars running over a measured distance with a speed trap, that's a speed trial.
I realise the speeds are not great (top speed was around 114 mph) and I know they are wanting to create a certain atmosphere and look.
Absolutely no safety; how many cars are there without any roll cage, any seat belts, fire extinguisher, driving suit or modern protective helmet.
It's all fun till someone gets poked in the eye.
