Whoa! I’m speechless…amazing driving skills.
March 22, 2007 @ 12:20 am
damn..!!! that’s sooo cool!!
March 22, 2007 @ 12:57 am
it’s almost weightless!!
March 22, 2007 @ 1:05 am
Amazing skills, very fast response! The car looks fun and weightless too, didn’t see much inertia there.

This car has a great power to weight ratio, weighs 550kgs, is relatively affordable and is great great fun.
For the higher spec’d up 260BHP 2.3 litre Cosworth engines, the power to weight ratio is 472BHP/Tonne easily outclassing most super-cars power to weight ratio of today.
If you have the money and are thinking of getting one, dont hesitate. You wont regret it.

they used to show the british caterham championship series on astro last time.. if you think 1 guy in a caterham is crazy? you should see 25 of them racing together on a cramped british circuit.. madness!!

Looks like a remote control car doing the tricks, quite nice
March 22, 2007 @ 9:14 am
Holy cow! That’s one insane driving. Just look at the way he glides around the tracks as if he’s skating.

???

Would an Ariel Atom perform any better? RW drive.. 300 horses.. about the same weight..
March 22, 2007 @ 8:40 pm
the mechanism is about the same as f1 cars.very stable indeed.
March 22, 2007 @ 8:46 pm
i think not only power to weight ratio help it perfomance(response) but low centre gravity also helps! DAMN LOW! just lilttle bit higher than a kart!
not taller than the height of a Nike sport shoes!
guess, Lotus Elise or Lotus 340R can do something similar this ?

Motorised rollerblades! Proton should make a low-buck version like this rather than the effort on Arena. Now when you see it, AutoX seems a lot more technical than drift eh?
