Wow - so fast!

... seen this video before but it still amazes me. also seems so much faster cause of the fact that the track is very closed in

i think I have seen it before as well, but i'm fairly sure it isn't an R8

- it doesn't look wide enough
- an R8 is a bit expensive for a hillclimb, even the euro hillclimbs.
- The instrument binnacle and cockpit is the wrong shape (an R8 has a wide open cockpit, sort of big enough for two people, but with about 2/3rds of it walled off where the driver sits).

Still damn fast though. i think its more likely to be a Radical.

well the site i got the from stated it was an R8... then again i guess it's not wise to trust wat u read on teh interweb (-_-)

i dunno what it is but it's farken fast, however i was under the impression it was like a demo exhibition in an R8?

Its definitely not a radical. All radical models have a broad open cockpit with a centrally mounted gauge cluster and mirrors mounted outboard on the front wings. They also don't have the gills on the front wings seen on the car in the video.

I believe it is actually this car,

It's called a Norma M20 and is powered by a 3 litre, 400+ HP BMW racing engine... That's 400+ HP from a 3 litre NA straight six!

It's this, a Norma M20. Powered by a 3L BMW M Power engine. :cool:

That's the driver's website. Unfortunately it's in French, but the good pics are under "La Voiture" :thumbsup:

Now I'm going to watch that video again :D
