Take Mario Andretti’s Formula 1 world championship-winning Lotus 79, install pro racer Duncan Dayton with a visor cam, place a microphone six inches away from the V8 Cosworth DFV’s inlet trumpets, add wicked amounts of oversteer, and you have video and audio insanity at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the 2016 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion vintage event.

That downshift! I could put this on continuous loop and fall asleep to the sound. 👍😎🏁

I like the slow refresh rate of the rpm counter.

Love the tacho..."So...the revs are around here somewhere - but we both know you aint looking at me.." :)

My God, the noise is savagery unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

Whoever was in that Tyrell must have been really on it, this guy isnt hanging around and even though the ground effects are gone, its chalk and cheese between the '75 007 and the '78 79, a different era of race car engineering despite the 3 years that seperate the two.

Love the way he fights this beast out of the corner! Pure drivegasm!

I Wonder if Mario Andretti has watched this video. I hope he does. It'd bring back a few memories

The design of the mirrors is so futuristic ! The sound is gorgeous too.

Formula E cars are normally used to tighten the wheel hubs of those cars! :D

That must be the most terrifying and fun car to drive

4:23 you can see the "red mist" coming down on him. This man is a legend, driving it like it should be driven

This is amazing. The guy have balls, he is pushing hard a 40 years old F1, with no skirts and avon tyres. I wonder his lap time..
