Remember track days? Those glorious hours of smooth tarmac, tight bends and unbridled speed. We’re as unlikely as any to even get in our cars right now, but we can certainly dream. And dream we have, while watching a host of videos from the ever-excellent Belgian Motorsport YouTube channel.

Today BM is transporting us to the circuits Zolder, Spa-Francorchamps, Nürburgring, Monza, Hockenheim, Zandvoort and even our very own Goodwood Hill in a V12 cacophony, filmed between 2009 and 2020.

From Eau Rouge to the famous Park Straight, take a trip through GT1, cup cars and track day racecars from the 1990's until today. The 18-strong bill includes iconic models such as the Aston Martin DBR9, McLaren F1 GTR, Ferrari FXX-K EVO, Lamborghini Diablo SVR, Jaguar XJR-15, Aston Martin Vulcan, Maserati MC12 Corse, Ferrari 550 Prodrive and many, many more. In fact, this has to be the ultimate ode to one of racing’s most sonorous powertrains. And if you want more V12 action, read our list of the five best sounding V12s of all time.

Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: One of the world’s best car collections?
