Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. !!!

I think it beat the cosworth all the way up to 100 mph.  They were dropped from the dakar because the drivers kept killing themselves.

I remember the year when the seventh fastest vehicle around the Dakar prologue was Francinsco Perlini in his truck. Damn, those things were ludicrously quick.

There's a great story (repeated to me by a friend who's actually driven De Rooys X1) that De Rooy was invited to bring his X1 to a demonstration at Thruxton - they asked him to use not a lot of throttle to stop it lifting the tarmac on corners, and the straights! De Rooy just took to the grass instead - needless to say it didn't slow the thing down!  :lol:

That clip posted is an absolute classic!  :cool:
