      @ashmillermotorsport 7 років тому +1

      schumiisking As someone that works at Palmersport, as an instructor, I think you'll find I'm talking anything but my friend ;) the bodywork has obviously been modified post-series, as well as the cockpit to update them and make them usable for the general public, and of course Audi's turbo lumps were replaced with the Jaguar when JP had Jaguar backing (their JPLM cars have the same engine, and they used to use XKRs in Palmersport's infancy) especially since the Palmer Audi chassis are pretty much two decades old but, sir, you are most definitely wrong. 😎

    I definitely preferred the editing in this video over the CT video. Even though I would have liked to see a full on board lap, you still shared enough footage to make it really enjoyable. Alex made his video about his visit a bit too quick and jumpy. It was like a condensed highlights video.

  • @mickstodd7118
    @mickstodd7118 6 років тому +3

    No doubt this car is detuned from its original specification. Very evident in the audio and acceleration. There are many F3000 onboard videos of hill climb cars and they are way faster than this. Makes sense from a business stand point since engines and transmissions are not cheap!

  • @niekie1999

    Barrichello said in an interview a year ago that shifter karts are the closest thing that is available commercially. Ofcourse it does not have the downforce, but the power to weight ratio of a kart can represent what it would be like to drive a F1 car with such power
