There was no way that the car would be doing 120 at that point. It was on a roundabout or whatever they call those things in Paris.
Id would love to see it again. Especially the remastered version.
There are plenty of them out there. Kit car for Rally. You give them the money and they give you the car, or at least the kit to build one from. The class rules limit the cost of a car to US$100,000.
Have a look at some of the classic French racing blues that were used over the years. Just as there were many shadres of BRG, there were a lot of different blues used by the Frogs. Im sure one of them would be fitting.
The film is real, and you can read about how it was made. They were really being a bit crazy as the roads were not closed down and they ran quite a few reds if I remember correctly. The pigeons certainly were not expecting a car to be approaching so fast and I am sure the garbage men were a...
In airplanes you always have to take the power loss into account. Not only does the temperature and altitude affect it but also the air is thinner and generates less lift at higher elevations and temperatures. Just what you dont need... requiring a higher takeoff speed.
As all this needs to...
Germany. I cant see it here either. Heres a link. Plenty of photographs and live updates there. The webcams arent too impressive though!

Power isnt everything. It is just one component of a complete car.
Naturally aspirated power is nicer than turbo power. More manageable and responsive.
The valver is one of the better balanced small cars ever made. Good power, handling and light weight.
Stock brakes should be pretty good. A change of pads makes a huge difference in most cars.
Beginners quite often overuse the brakes on the track. I dont think an experienced driver would have much problem with the Cup brakes.
It is always best to upgrade the driver before upgrading the...
They are not alone! The Megane is seriously ugly and thank God the Avantime is history, but the same cretins are designing the next Clio and it will be uglier than it is now. It seems all the cars now have to have some sort of triangular headlamp and get taller. Park an original Clio next to...
Sad fact is that at the moment mad scientists have been altering the brains of the designers in more than one car company.
Why do little cars always have to get bigger each time they are redesigned? All I want is a nice light 2 litre buzz bomb. Is that asking too much?
Buy new. Or knock a huge chunk off that price.
I think youll love the Cup. I have a Ragnotti on order myself. Id buy a new Willy if they were still being built.
The Elise is a great little car. But like you, I need a rear seat.

The Type R is no slouch. There is one running around the ring which is very fast. A new Vette wont lose it!
It sure would be nice if Renault would give us a few more naturally aspirated horses to play with.
It is a classic. And in its day a decent performer. The 360 would be its equivalent today.
The 365 GTB4 was the monster back then, much as the 575 is now.
Of course the Enzo, F50, F40 and 288GTO are in another league altogether.
Really? Have a look here. Seems a 172 would do just as well against this car!
