Sadly from 2030 on in Europe all combustion cars will be banned from public streets, from 2025 on they will reduce gas stations to only one per city or county...
That car is famous as its first owner is, none other than Tazio Nuvolari. His first race in that car is the 1934 Avusrennen. What's even more amazing with that first race is, he is still recovering from a bad crash a few weeks before and his left leg is still in a plaster cast. *So he had his mechanics modify the car's pedals so he could operate all of them using his right foot. Somehow, he still finished fifth.*

I’m wondering if this is the same GT40 I drew as a 15 year old stumbling across it fortunately with my sketching kit in a Maidenhead road one afternoon from school. I met one of the designers , a mr Bailey, and work was being carried out in it at Ford Advanced Vehicles in Slough. Same colour! I’m 67 now, and never forgot that moment. Sold lots of drawings of this to Kids in my class!!
No, they have to warm up the gearbox so they jack it up and put it in gear, and probably thought "we're warming the gearbox up, might as well warm the engine up"
If you're going to really analyse the sound, straight 8 engines had the smoothness in their sound that no v8 could ever have. Here's another sound samples ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gS75YKqI3AU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sxdHuPr7JXU.html
Shelsley - where it all started - so much history - and still an unbeatable, unique atmosphere...! Fantastic to see these old cars still driven hard, rather than mouldering-away in a static museum.....!
The drivers back when these were race cars back then had some serious brass to drive those literal death traps, i saw a similar setup from a smaller racing car and the only brake was controlled by a lever on the outside of the cockpit!!!! Good Grief!!!
Isn't it funny how people just have to pour scorn on the successes of others. I presume you are an expert in these things Roman or you wouldn't make such a ludicrous comment! What exactly is "lazy" timing - I'd appreciate your clearly expert opinion?
+Mr. C - It means : "the thing belonging to the Rare Bugattis". This is entirely the opposite of what is meant. Seriously, if you can't express yourself clearly using the written word then you shouldn't do it in a public place. The Greengrocer's apostrophe is a term of ridicule applied to an occurrence of embarassingly incorrect writing...
+Mr. C That is precisely the point. Correct grammar is vital to be understood. When you walk do you trip over continuously? Do you forget to breathe or do you try to do it using your ears? If you are going to do anything, you might as well do it correctly.
You can see the whole frame twist when he taps the gas. Sounds like he didn't even need any gas to get going. That thing must create INCREDIBLE torque for something that looks like a bed frame and a park bench.
