Bravo! You deserve a huge compliment: 1. for presenting this legendary car, 2. for driving it at Daytona, 3. for bringing it home unscathed when you've NEVER driven a race car before. Awesome stuff!Alain1964 Fiat Abarth 1000TC Berlina Corsa - auto-historia.ca
Thank you for sharing your beautiful car, bringing it back to it's winning livery, and hopefully many more video's of your adventures with you're vehicles
I hope you realize the luck you have....thanks for getting the Beta Montecarlo where she belongs: racetrack. Even going slowly and carefully. Lancia was unique in the history of car, I think. No one else won so much with modified (sometimes DEEPLY modified) stock cars. It was a time when the work of great men made winnig cars, and it was not only a matter of budget. Can someone buy the brand from the f***ed FCA gruop and bring it back to the world? Please....Sometimes Italians are able to make great, great thing. Not always, sure, but sometimes they (we...) left a mark....
Really a great car! I love those old gr.5 endurance cars! The red/white livery I think it was one of the original "Lancia Corse" liveries (together with the blue/white and black/orange) ;)
Easily my favorite Gr5 car. Not uncoincidentally, my favorite GrC is the Lancia LC2. Favorite rally car is a toss-up between the Stratos and the 037. Lancia was special.
I know it's a minor point but I can see historical accuracy is important to you. It's not a Beta Montecarlo. It's just a Montecarlo. The Beta name was dropped after the 1979 season. Series 2 1980 / 81 cars were no longer Betas and neither were the racers. Look at the Brands 1000k winning cars Lancia made the point of peeling off the Beta name on the front spoilers. I'm just saying that's all.
For a common man Lancia's best accet is its reputation and the looks. You'll never gonna get such a beautiful looking car with all those electric/mechanic flaws etc. for that kinda bargain.
A glorious silhouette racer that Albareto compared to be similar to driving his F1 car in many ways. Just one quibble; it’s lost on me, particularly with all the hype over the place for decades now, that anyone, let alone a car racing guy can call the Green Hell the ‘Nuremberg Ring’! The centre of Nazi Germany is most certainly NOT the centre of motor racing in that country!!

would've liked to see a full onboard lap. regardless it's really an epic story and lovely to watch.

My pleasure, John. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Wonderful car and the Martini livery is one of the most iconic in car racing history.

The best sport cars of the world (f1/rally/endurance)? Of course Italian cars, ferrari, lancia, alfa romeo, lamborghini and maserati!
