#040 movie

Hi there,
here is a nice little movie where Richard Meaden (an editor of the British car magazine "evo") pushes #040 hard round the Bedford Autodrome West Circuit:

http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/trackday...n_fastest.html

Look out for an astonishing 'catch' as Richard Meaden gets the F1 very sideways coming out of O'Rouge at a speed you'd much prefer all your wheels to be pointing in the general direction of travel.

Roger

Re: #040 movie

I like it at the beginning, where 'Flemke' states in a great American drawl "the chassis stinks, it has no downforce and the brakes don't work, but its got a good engine" - just what you want to hear before you let rip in a £1m+ supercar on a track

And you are right, it was a great catch by Meaden, and that engine sound, I'll never get tired of hearing it!!!

Re: #040 movie

I dont think he deserves an F1: "May I remind you that the chassis stinks, it has no downforce, and the brakes don't work. But it's got a good engine!"

If he doesnt like it then id be more then happy to take it off his hands...

Good video though, Evo is a proper car mag.

His comments made are tongue-in-cheek based on previous negativities published about the F1 through other sources.

This man deserves his car more than those who simply let them sit in a corner collecting dust.
