im going to use this the next time my sister is driving... she'll go from a dead stop to like 3k engine revs just to have to go the next stop sign 10 yards away and wonders why her cars are all falling apart and shit.
One of the best builds I have seen. No understeer, almost no oversteer, mechanical grip and downforce in abundance, no twitches, no panic at the wheel... I guess many things are coming from sub 700kg weight, but even as a whole package is impressive.
@@michiel5160For sure, but this guy has really chunky tires are the end. That looks like almost 300mm tires at the back. Somehow I get the feeling this is built like some "Osella" prototype done in X1/9 shell :D
as far ive researched and i did a lot, its not a Ferrari 308 head its a misconception, the head isn't from ferrari as in the car company its from ferraris which was a small Italian company that did this head and made very few of them even the valve cover doesn't say ferrari it says ferraris
Not a misconception, info given to us by both Gianluca and Andrea Vescovi (the builder/tuner) of this X1/9.@@perfectentrytrading. A Romeo Ferraris tuned engine is a completely different thing.
Uk had a huge Special Saloons scene in the 1980s ...cars like this raced at all the famous circuits every weekend. Tony Dickenson raced a Chevron F5000 chassis with a Skoda silhouette body which ran a 2 litre hart 420 R ..amazing
If a race car be diminutive in size be sure not to miscalculate its ferocity, particularly when driven by a pilot of exceptional skill, for it may devour its prey like a Lion on the hunt. SPECTACULAR machine, the skill of the driver none less so.
Cividale Castelmonte is a scary, narrow, twisty road...more suited to Vespa then racecar. The frist time I ride it (motorcycle) I thought they must be mad to race here... ...mad but very skillfull.... The car and the driver are fantastic, graet video.
1st off thanks so much for posting these amazingly well shot videos. I'm so thankful to watch so many fine racing vehicles being driven so hard on such incredible roads. 2nd I've been watching Dondi push his X1/9 hard for years. But Ticci here looks to have that same crazy level of skill and bravery. I've raced slow cars, sportbikes, and dirt bikes. Never very fast or well, but I can't imagine pushing this hard on those undulating crazy cambered roads. Just next level.
@@jokerzwild00 weight, fuel consumption and packaging are the reasons why displacement isn't always the answear. See how motorcycles always have engines with less than 1.4L? Because if they went with engines bigger than 1.4L, they would have trouble in packaging this in the motorcycle's frame, and it would also be heavier, meaning that it would be harder to manuver it in the corners, and manuverability is everything for motorcycles. Same can be applied to cars, since this is pure simple physics.
@@runningon8883 The malaise era was a great example of how they struggle to make proper cars that work outside of the US. But their blind patriotism and ignorance makes them unable to do so.
The Lampredi iron block is what makes the car in the upload eligible to race as a modified production car. The established benchmark for a swapped (NA) X1/9 is likely the 580kg 210bhp Polini Racing version uses a 1398cc R1 Yamaha bike engine and transmission. You would need to lengthen the wheelbase and widen the track, and use different control arms if you're going to use the Dallara style nose and outer wings. Good luck regardless I'm sure it will be fn insane with a rotary 👋
@markbowden7238 im not building my car for the track. I want to go play with it every now snd then on the street. I'm definitely going to have to brace the engine bay for strength and few other mods on the body. Greetings from South Africa
@@aldostefanini1392 greetings from UK 👍 yup well you're certainly in for a challenging time, but sounds like you have a great opportunity to carry out all sorts of unique features, best of luck mate 😁
Yo if everyone can help I'ma try to to do this what's ur Xbox thing for Forza or idk GTA? To clarify I want to try and build racers like like in Forza or GTA.😅
That "X" is a PERFECT match for this course! The driving is FLAWLESS, and the video production is on a very HIGH LEVEL! We have a "WINNER" in more ways than one, here!
This is by fucking far the best FIAT car in the world - I mean the X1/9 but also this one especialy. The pilote is mad. This perfomance is trully awesome
Among closed (Touring) cars, yes it was. You can check our Top 15 video from this event right here » ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HXJV2JTsd0.html
@@hillclimbracingfan5821 No?Because your car have limitations and you are still faster than someone without limits this is why i slightly like them more but all of them are great. I really not saying hillclimbers are - boring - if you understand.
@@joe125ful Well,on hillclimbs it really is more about the driver than car itself.Of course,it’s important to have competitive car but on end of day it’s as good as driver and that’s undeniable conclusion. Plus,if you want either of TCR and GT race cars be competitive on hillclimb you’ll still have to do adjustments and bit of modifications to have them perform. As nice as they are,they still fall short against something like car in video and where you get idea of real race drivers anyway?Isn’t that what guys like Ticci,Dondi,Schagerl,Bratschi or Meisel are?
@@hillclimbracingfan5821 Its same for TCR/GT class you need changes and make good setup and have great driver. I like how TCR/GT feel on normal roads,clean,fast...its like they race there eweryday. In other hand i like home builded cool Hill climb cars like SuperFast SLK when i saw it first time i fall to love with that car or crazy 1000Hp Evos or some cool looking BMWs etc.
Ho avuto quest'auto ( modello normale 1500cv!!!) Vedendo questo video non potevo immaginare che si potessero ottenere questi risultati (COMPLIMENTI PER IL TUTTO) VDEO
Love this car. Not too sure about the engine. Why create such unusual combo? Do you save that much on weight? Always wanted to see an X1/9 with 13b or 20b. Feels like it would be a perfect fit for this platform
i thought the whole ferrari head thing wasn't from a 308 at all it was a "Ferraris" head which is a company that made racing heads for these engines not part of Ferrari at all a separate family
Is that a well known thing? A Ferrari head bolting onto a Fiat block? You'd think that would have to be by design in the original factory production development. Is it just dumb luck?
Iam not big fan of this Fiat type(its ugly to me) but i like that idea with Ferrari engine head iam curious if they make any changes or they just fit it with no problems? Also its fast!
