The next Rennsport...
Can you imagine loading this into a trebuchet and selling chances to guess the distance?

Why would anyone post those poor videos on a renowned sellers site like BAT ?
That was a truly bad representation of the car when he couldn't keep it running for 1 city block. |

Hopefully, it's functional (relatively fast and handles well). If that's the case, then it's better than your avg 70s/80s kit car. The only thing that I find a little much is the copying of the livery. But that's not horrible either.
It's not that bad.

"The seller notes an undiagnosed fluid leak coming from the drivetrain."
It actually looks like he has a lot of money stuck into it....good luck!

I'm pretty unlikely to buy a car without driving it, but I suppose I might for certain cars. I would absolutely NOT buy something like this vehicle without being able to drive it first.

This thing is probably a riot to drive on track !! Typically Diasio D962's used a huyabusa powerplant, with a Mazda 13-B and turbocharger...wow !
I was very interested in getting one of these back when I was racing.

Why is it that when anyone posts a BAT link, I click on it, then go through all the offerings?
Hell, I know there's a zero chance I'll bid on anything.
