The Bugatti Veyron dominates in top speed against this Yamaha R1 while they race down a “moterway” in Germany.

Not the usual historic FIA GT suspects, but an exciting, eclectic grid of early 1960s racers will battle it out on track at the Silverstone Classic in July.

The Copperstate 1,000 is staged by the Men’s Arts Council of the Phoenix Art Museum. The men’s council was organized in 1968 to provide volunteer night guards for the museum. It has grown to become the largest annual financial contributor to the museum…Â Details
