I believe (but could be wrong, if a larger one was built, I would love to know), that Difference Engine number 2 was the largest of Babbage's Difference Engine's ever built.

From the headline I was expecting much worse. It doesn't mutate the car like most of Gemballa's previous efforts, but it is certainly unnecessary for a car such as the 12C.

You couldn't be more wrong.

So you're saying that knowing who won makes you not want to watch the race and completely ruins the entire path for how they got there?

Fair point.

Ah yes, Nitrogen, one of our many flammable friends like helium and iron!

You're not going to cry, are you?

Alright, I'll get a keg of Harpoon IPA. Who's down for wasting a weekend to put this together?

I got yo back

Apparently he can't make a Benz out of that Datsun, no matter how much ambition you see in his eyes.

Abarth. Used to be a bit cool in "ye olde days":

I've always like the turbo badges used on turbocharged Corvairs.

Lancia Stratos. It's not even a badge, but damn if that's not some sweet typography on the sticker.

If it doesn't have a clutch, it's not a manual transmission.

Okay, so let me just make a couple things straight before anyone watches this video - and I mean this with all due respect to the drivers, because I'm sure it was a harrowing moment. I'm glad they're okay, and I hope they rebuild the car to have more great success in the future. However...

1. Total waste of time…

whether that was a split-s or a loop, it looks like he was way too low and way too slow to pull it off. I mean just what the hell.. I'm sadly going to call it pilot error on this one.

There's a bit too much cutting and editing but I'd kill to see an uninterrupted video of the full run(s).
