Great bit of footage, with commentary from the man himself as he's driving, of a lap around the Le Mans circuit in a D-Type Jaguar. When you see the camera setup on the car and the lip mike he's wearing, cantilevered off a plate strapped to his chest, it makes you realise how easy it is to capture footage like this now in the GoPro world!
