More 'F1 inspired kit car' than 'road legal F1 car' bit of a let down frown

1.4 twin-cam engine. I suspect a Rover K-series. So no, it won't be a riot wink

I've only seen one road legal F1 car, and as I recall it was in Japan.

Of course the 1.8 Turbo would fit with a bit of hammering. That might be a bit more fun.

(this is where someone should make a head gasket remark, by the way)

Sufficed for Caterham for a few years, don't see why it wouldn't be a hell of a lot of fun in this too.

Let's see... because the Caterham is a properly designed and lightweight sportscar with about 40 years of development behind it.

This was bodged together by a bloke in a shed and probably weighs a lot more than a Caterham?

Oh right, so it's not the engine that's the issue now?

Doubt it weighs much more than a Caterham, if at all.

It looks like it'd be a blast to me, for all manner of reasons, and bodged together or not. (Although how you've made that judgement I'm not sure, but I'll defer to your better judgement on this since you seem to know all about it)

Seems I stand corrected. Cheers chaps.

Anyone got any links to it?
