In Aust the premier racing class is called V8 SuperCars. The biggest event of the year is in/near a country town 'Bathurst' on a tourist road that goes up and down a (very small) mountain (Mt. Panorama). It's about a 6hr race.
I caught a bit of the telecast and they had an in-car camera in the engine bay of one of the cars. These cars turn similar rpm's although they do tend to go up and down a lot as they go round the track.
Anyway, the camera in the engine bay showed the headers going from black to red hot and then beginning to look a bit translucent as the cars powered down the main straight. It was a very impressive insight into what's going on as they circulate.
