What an excellent day out! I took ALOT more pics but being a retard i accidentally deleted them at lunchtime when trying to take pics of the Ferrari F1 car go up the hill
I was most impressed with the Senna Turbo F1 car, 4 cylinder Hart engine, the turbo was huge (alot bigger than my T4!), 2 spark plugs per cylinder and 4 injectors PER CYLINDER
I would highly recommend going to this event if you in into motorsport in any way!
Good pics m8.
Nice pics Wes,I do like that Capri thats proper car porn
re Hart turbo motor.
Wes what you probably couldn't see with it installed was that this engine was a "monoblock" design. That is the head and block were cast in a single piece. No head gasket to go pop.
I have no idea how they machined the vlave seats etc, assuming they still had 16 vlaves in a pent roof design combustion chamber.
They had one of these engines in Burtons a while ago, dressed up as a show motor.
