This Sharknose Replica takes my breath away

The 1961 Tipo 156 "Sharknose" Ferrari was the first mid-engined grand prix car to wear the prancing horse, ushering in a new era for the marque.  Sadly none of these remarkable Carlo Chiti-penned creations still exist.  A few replicas have been made over the years, and this latest one wears the bright yellow of Belgium.  The makers of this re-creation released this pretty cool video which appears as if it was shot on the roads that used to comprise the old Spa circuit.  The music is melodramatic, but the camera work is pretty decent!

I never get tired of watching Nurburgring hotlap videos.  I know I'm not alone. You're welcome.
