(Does anybody know why they did this?)


Formula 1 weekends typically have several support races happening, and this was probably one of those (Mercedes sponsorship placement?).

Satans fuel? Naaaah. Everybody already posted all the nice sounding gas engines, otherwise I'd fill this thread with Audi 5 cylinders and Porsche flat 6's. I'm not normally a V8 fan, though this does remind me of one video I should share, a BMW E28 with an M60 in it...

Best comment I've seen? "his driving style is about as economical as a rocket powered hummer"
