I recognise the track but my eyes are too old to spot the overtakers. Lambos?

I thought I'd seen this one before... That's a copy of a video originally posted by a member of this forum (TCR).

This is timely. That was Allan Simonsen in the Gallardo LP560 (he was tragically killed at Le Mans on the weekend), being chased by Barton Mawer in a Lotus Exige GT3. It was at the "Island Magic" races in November 2011. Search YouTube for "Close Call.wmv" for the original video, and "threading the needle" by gt3cr1 for the same manoeuvre viewed from the Exige.

Watch the eyes on the MX5 driver just before the Lotus passes him. He knows it's there. 8)
