The GT 40 was supposedly a very original car and indeed the real thing ( as stated before, this is rare nowadays because of the amount the cars are worth ), unfortunately there was an Interview with the driver (Sam Hancock, a very good and experienced driver, specialist for historic racing) where he was quite happy to be trusted with such an original and historic example. The accident was very unfortunate, there was a lot of oil on the track which totally surprised both - the T70 spider simply could not slow down.
