    We have Citroen C1 one-make racing over here in Italy. Modifications are limited to safety ones and a very loud exhaust to amplify the three cylinder drone. Seeing a massed start of 35 Citroen C1s is nothing short of breathtaking. The revs rise and the tortured smell of dozens of fried clutches follow. The

    There must be some good drugs in the water at Jalopnik Towers.

    Anything with forced induction being driven in such a way as to excite a wastegate flutter or a blow off valve sneeze. Anything naturally aspirated being taken into the upper octaves of its rev range. It’s the sounds which make my day more than the sights.

    I think you’ll find that Ducati enjoyed considerable success before the 851, look at Mike Hailwood’s TT win as an example. Or the 200 mile race at Imola (which was, at the time a world-class event). By my point remains, today sportsbike riders want something they can tie to racing and a 1200cc (therefore ineligible

    Is this using a “borrowed” Aprilia engine like the race bike?

    I think Mr DeMuro might be usighted by the barely restrained cooing that is to be expected on an auto enthusiast website whenever he posts about the Skyline. To the rest of the world it’s just an old, anonymous-looking car in an anonymous colour.

    Which was the sole premise of this article.

    If you’re comparing him to any of the hordes of sponsor-mentioning McRacers that populate MotoGP or Superbikes then I would agree, however amongst his road racing counterparts you will find dozens just like him.

    You might be right, or it could be another lamentable case of Jalopnik worshipping the most famous as opposed to the best. Witness the amount of Clarskon-based drivel that gets spouted ad nauseam.

    The best at what he does? Or maybe he’s the only road racer you’ve heard of in Americaland?

    The Czech importers for Rag & Bone were unavailable for comment.

    Those Tailgunner exhausts are so incredibly wrong that I find it very difficult to dislike them.

    Here’s why a couple of mates on a holiday will always have more fun than those on an organized press junket with a defined route.

    Theoretically I’d agree with you. In actual fact the EBR was very much a poor relation to anything coming out of Europe and Japan, the quality of the components, the welding and the assembly were miles off.

    Stupid Firestone tyres.

    I’ll believe it when I see them.

    It had better drive like some sort of miracle because it looks extremely boring.

    I just shed a little tear. I need to go and fit some stage 3 nitrous to something.

    Missing the usual Shep McAllister/ADVERTISING TEAM byline isn’t it?

    Am I the only one who finds this man tragically annoying? I’ve tried to watch his videos a bunch of times because he was getting so much love on Jalopnik but I just can’t.
