Yeh, its was funny footage. I have said it before. If you do some research on Sato, you find that he is a naturally talented guy. From memory he didnt start motorsport until he was 16 or thereabouts. Thinking back to Jordan days he was quick, and up until Honda beign disqualified for feul tanks a few years ago was doing well at Honda. Something twigged and he struggled from that point onwards.

Still, if I was Eddie Jordan, I would've held on to Alesi for another year, those last couple of races Jean drove in the Jordan in 02 were some of the best he did in YEARS! It was as if he had a new lease on F1.... I still remember him holding behind him, to uber powerful BMW Williams cars at Spa Francorchamps, and he wasn't far from the podium iirc...

Looks like we know where Sato got his ballsey inspirtation from!!!

Gotta love passing around the outside!!

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

      That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
