Thanks, that was great viewing!

Although Mustangs were not particularly prevalent in the UK, my Father said that the same scene was played out there between the Minis and the E-Types back in the 60's. He used to take me to the Vintage Sports Car Club meetings at Silverstone and we'd watch them race.

The other 'David and Goliath' battle was the pre-war single seaters. This was a handicap race, and the little three-wheeled Morgan JAP would be thrown into the corners and run rings around the big cars, but then be reeled in and passed on the straight.

There's something really neat about two mismatched cars, capable of equal lap times, but achieved in totally different ways.
