I hope they can pull it off, because I desperately want to go.

I guess I saw that on another forum last week. Shame to put a car through that punishment. That dust cloud alone was distressing to me.
The US and F1 seem to have problems with syncopation. I sorta wish the track was being built for another thrust. |

no mention if maybe all the fires in the area might have delayed construction?

^It's far from completed. That grade will change radically as construction proceeds.

Should have hand grooved the tires for the dirt. The horses were faster through the turns.

I'll have to save up so I can afford a ticket. F1 is something I'd like to see in person.

The car was prior season tub with a mule motor. They even had electric fans mounted for the radiators and oil coolers. He had a lot of the raw footage on his computer and it was wild. The guys in the helicopter felt like they were taking fire form all the rocks. Quote:

The camera work was really incredible. I absolutely loved the slow-motion smoke off the tires during the "doughnut". Very, very cool!!!

Very, very good video.
While I'm disappointed that F1 is not returning to the northeast - I watched them at the Glen lots of years ago - I'm happy they will be back in the US. And hopefully not repeating the Indy fiasco. Thank you VERY much for posting the video. |

Gon fix it with me hammer

I somehow doubt that Offroad F1 car had and F1 engine in it.
My bet is, they stuck a small, relatively low power production car engine in it with in a reinforced frame (F1 engine is normally load bearing part of the chassis) and then over dubbed the F1 car engine noise. Because if you think about it, F1 cars can spin their tires on tarmac, so on dirt, you'de hear some pretty funky revving and bouncing on the limiter..it would never be fluent...They could never hope to transfer power with such a light car, at such low speeds with so much power.
