Video: Ferrari F50 GT tears around Yas Marina Circuit

07th June 2022

Every now and again we come across a video like this and it’s just difficult to know what to say. Today we’re riding onboard with a driver’s eye view of a V12 Ferrari F50 GT, one of only three that were ever built, and that quite frankly is all you need to know.

It just so happens that we’re also driving on what appears to be a totally deserted Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. That’s quite the playground, and the driver is making the absolute most of it, wringing the neck of that V12 for everything it’s worth, pushing towards what looks to be somewhere near 300kph (186mph).

Aside from enjoying the view ahead, it’s probably worth watching this video twice, once with your eyes open, and then again with headphones in with your eyes shut. That noise really is the best thing you’ll hear all day.

Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: This is why John McGuinness is a TT legend
