Many of us can’t fathom how fast 300kmh – or 186mph – is. We’ve never been that fast, and likely never will. So, what do you do when you want to experience something, without the inherent risk? You turn to YouTube, of course.
Video: Flying round Monza in a Sauber C8 at nearly 300km/h
And just our luck, following the 2019 Monza Historic, event organiser Peter Auto uploaded this incredible onboard, showing Hendrik Lindberg pushing a 1986 Sauber C8 on the long Monza straights.
Granted, Hendrik wasn’t pushing this C8 to its absolute limits. Weighing just 870kg and with a turbocharged, 5.0-litre V8, a C8 achieved the second highest top speed at Le Mans in 1985: 370km/h, or 230mph. But still, pushing a 30-year-old racing car to almost 300km/h round Monza isn’t something you’d do without taking at least one brave pill… Now, who fancies a hot lap?
