You've seen some of the wings so here's a few wheels. First, one of the newer fellers.

Now for some real racing cars. Wink

are you kidding me? that thing is an absolute pig to drive. Even with a few mods, it understeers like well poop to avoid more harsh words. It just looks nice:) Plus the braking on there is awful. Shocked

No, sorry Craig. I like the vintage stuff & was saving memory for the aircraft.

Cars from the days where 80mph was fast Grin

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

The Napier-Railton is a tad faster than that. Roll Eyes

The magnificent vehicle, with its immensely strong girder construction, powered by a 12 cylinder Napier Lion aero-engine, won fame not only as the fastest car at Brooklands but twice took for Britain the 24 hour record in 1935 and 1936 (150.16mph).

The Brooklands Outer Circuit lap record of 143.44mph taken in 1935 by the Napier Railton was never beaten.
