Man that is cool!! When that thing winds up it really gets up and goes.
Looks like some refinement has gone in since the first two recordings? Or has the driver managed to tame the beast?

Seems like there were a million gear changes in there but heaps of horsepower too

[miro-1980]

The car really goes ... on a straight .. in a curve - not so much ...

It seems to have huge excess of HP , well in excess of th e car's handling ...

Do I see and hear right that the car is being accelerated only on a straight ..  and in all curves the clutch is depressed and brakes are engaged ...

Interesting gearbox, very, very quick shifts but shifting like regular 5 gear helical ( not dig clutch)..

Very good piece wo watch and wonder ...

in excess of the grip rather than the handling - also the car has only been run a few times in anger in the last couple of years so I doubt the driver has "tamed" it as such.
