True. But from the description I heard here, there was enough resin laid down on that track to make a wooly mammoth cringe. If I were Blitz, I'd swap out the half shafts knowing that the twisting forces had to have been extreme.

I also wonder with all the practice that the Ferrari owner put in, did he hurt the driveline in any capacity (i.e. clutch slippage)? That car is capable of 10.90s out of the box, and on a prepared track and 75 degrees it was ideal conditions to replicate the "magazine driver" times that we all drool over.

Trust me, I'm glad that the Cobra won. As someone else said here, a different driver in the Cobra and who knows what the results would have been? Both are bad ass cars.

And one other thing. Who cares if the headlights aren't real? Wow.
