Few years back on a family trip to hanmer springs. In the middle of nowhere all of a sudden there’s this race track. Hoped out to have Quick Look and there’s Dave riding a bicycle around the track. Led me down the Rodin rabbit hole ever since.
Still not uncommon in NZ in the right circles, we don't suffer fools at the high levels in many industries. Which is nice. Because it's such a small place, if you screw up, people find out.
Anyone commenting on this being beaten by the Porsche has no clue about time attack (and yes I do time attack)or racing in general. Go look at the Porsche when it first started time attack the car you see now is nearly 10 years of r&d, 10 time attacks plus god knows how much testing so I’d say 7 seconds to the fastest time attack car on the planet is a fantastic achievement. Sounds great, looks great . Would love an opportunity to drive something like this
Wow, fantastic 👍 What happened to the old Judd V10? 👀 One of my projects would have originally had a Judd v10 🤔 I was going to use the lambo v10 instead
Cool event but was 10 seconds slower then the winning car, and would have placed maybe 3rd in the pro am class, so more like an extremely expensive test session!
You can't expect this to win at WTAC it's still built around GT1 regulations, you can see the aero level would probably be below modern GT3 cars and with 720hp it's only down about 1000hp (literally) on RP968, I'd say the purpose was to showcase the brand and it's manufacturing capabilities. I'm sure it was the favorite car of the event for a lot of people.
Had a great time driving it in the uk championship 👍
Did this race in uk time attack?
Beautiful workshop and build, the team should be proud totally world class
Best drama on UA-cam right now! Go Boys!!!
brilliant work team, we need more web series like this after
David Dicker, genius
Outstanding edit and amazing work done by all, We can't wait to see the next Ep. 3
Nice work Rodin team! Pushing the automotive boundaries as always 👏

that thing sounds absolutely killer!!!!
Top job!
Fico feliz em ver mais empresas apaixonadas pelos melhores motores, espero que dê tudo certo com o projeto 🔥🔥
Looks like this is a rare meritocratic organisation. These guys are doing amazing engineering.

Question. Why did the bosses jet turn around the other night while over Darwin? And came back to Christchurch?
This needs a road version 😳😋🏎️
These guys are amazing! Sooo Fing cool!
Which model OZ wheels are they? look phenomenal!
Thanks! They are a custom rim, designed specifically for the Rodin Sintura project.
this needs to be a street legal production car
Wow, fantastic 👍

Still in the Sintura S99! The Rodin Sintura used a second chassis
Rodin Cars = Cosworth New Zealand.......Interesting. The Judd v10 in the original has a higher tone to it. Still , this project is badass !!
Watch the HPA discussion, the engine isn't fully optimised, it will change sound and maybe some more revs in the box.
A cutting edge race engineering company run by a mad genius guy who looks like a hippy Santa Claus. Does it get any better?

Soyou reckon that porsche would survive a 6 hour - 24 hour race like this kind of car is designed to do?
