Cool car - looks like a Berkley on steroids.....
I used to race against a Honda S-800 sports - same idea, even neater high rev
engine, but a little lacking in the torque department. Always thought it a
shame they didn't make a convertible version a la Fiat Allemano Spyder, as
with even less weight it would have been fun (for someone wiht a bit less
averdupois than yours truly) to race.
Always remember a visit to the races with a friend who had never been before.
We were watching a production car race and a couple of 600 Humpty Dumpty
Fiats were hard at it, but were so slow that no one but the drivers could
tell. My friend asked me - "How come they are still practicing when everyone
else is racing.....?"
