I ask because the Ferrari 550 Prodrive looks incredible, sounds amazing with its big V12 engine and was driven by Colin McRae at Le Mans of all places. So it’s almost unquantifiably cool as far as we are concerned.
Of course most of us will never find out what it’s like to drive something so irritatingly awesome, so the closest we come is either seeing them on track, or getting hold of onboard footage. Thankfully our friends at Peter Auto, who run the Le Mans Classic, have some of that footage ready for us, and it’s right from the place that made the car most famous: Le Mans.
This is nine minutes of pure joy, a couple of laps of La Sarthe behind the wheel of a Ferrari 550 Maranello GT1 car and it’ll definitely sort us out while we have a brew this morning.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: Riding in the Isle of Man TT looks unfathomably fast
