This is interesting video (1080p60f) which was filmed by Stefan Vapaa at race from the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2015! This is the full uncut race so grab a beverage before sitting down :)

This is the Group 4 race and Stefan driving 1968 SAAB Sonett V4 (with the roof cut off). The engine is a race-prepared 1500cc V4 and was the smallest displacement engine in the race. It is fitted with a Solex 44 PII, which is giving him problems under heavy braking right turns, as you will see. It wasn’t easy and at times it definitely wasn’t pretty, but he is pretty sure it is the fastest he has been around the Schenley Park course in the 13 years he has been driving there.

Thanks to Stefan we can enjoy excellent Saab footage:

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
