[dropcap] S [/ dropcap] It's about the pilot Kenny brack leading, to the open grave, a Ford GT40 1965. For those who do not know the event, say that the images correspond to one of the races of the 2013 Goodwood Revival. This is, surely, the best festival of speed Retro of the world. If you want to know more about it, our colleague Francisco Carrión explains what it's all about here in detail.
But what we were: driving this mythical Ford GT40 mk1 by the no less spectacular, by his ways, Kenny Brack ...
Ford GT40 and Kenny Brack at Goodwood Revival
Sure, the very famous races in the immense British estate of the mighty Lord march They have always been well known precisely for the greatness of their participants; both in relation to the human part (great figures of motorsport and many of the best drivers of yesterday and today) as well as the glamor of its powertrain.
Dozens of ultra-priced classics (we are talking about millions of euros) such as the Shelby Cobra, Aston Martin DB4 GT or even more than several Ferrari GTO 250 they 'measure their backs' against each other and are driven to the limit without hesitation or concessions. It is pure magic.

Daring to get the most out of a machine like that, with wheels of that caliber and constantly aquaplaning may well deserve the most applause.

I said, a delight for the eyes and ears. Thank you Kenny!, For ... having them of steel and give us these images!
