 Excellent video, the driver is no slouch!

He/She doesn't like to be behind other cars, does he/she...

 

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.  Under the hood I see dual Weber DCOE 45's and an Alpina Valve Cover on a M10 motor.  Should have been posted by Get the "F" out of my way Racing.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

It’s not as much about “What’s under the hood” as it is about “The Spacer between the steering wheel and the seat”!

good pilot no doubt..........but on the straights he pulls CSL's et al........so Im wondering if its got near 250-300 hp?.....kinda nuts?

With the way the driver is sawing on that wheel I’d say they’re keeping right on the ragged edge. Cool vid. That engine does sound strong.

The last frame of the video, when they enter the pit area, they lift the hood.

Heh.

That’s a VW engine/trans... looking a little closer it would seem that rig is intended to only turn in one direction really well. Hornet?

It’s not the one from the vid, just seeing if anyone would believe it.  BJ Barbieri would know more about the fwd vw 02.  I. Haven’t a clue, other than it hurts my insides.

What track was that?  What series?

cool vid and beautiful race car, but..

 

the way the driver is sawing at the wheel tells me the car is not setup very well.  abrupt oversteer everywhere. driver is making constant radical saves.   needs some suspension tuning work.....

 

and what is with the DA display on the bottom of the steering wheel?  no way to ever actually see it since it is below sight line and constantly moving.

actually the middle of the video.  he pulls into pit, gets out opens hood and futzes with the ignition system.  helmet cam provides lots of underhood views.
