Having owned two 1956 Healeys, this caught my attention. Quite the race and finally the conclusion. Fun watch Tony, thanks.

Fantastic viewer perspective.  You know it's good quality footage when you repeatedly catch yourself leaning into the turns while in your computer chair.  LOL!

@perrone1 The perspective offered really gives the viewer an appreciation for just how skilled these drivers are.  Getting through the course without having an "off" is hard enough but when  you add in to the mix the extremely close proximity and aggressiveness of the competitors, respect is well earned.

Love those Healeys. My favourite is the 100M but Rawles does a fantastic job in both the 100S and the 3000. That 100S is handicapped with more wind resistance due to no hard top.
