F1 Judd V8 Powered 1 Series

If some of you haven't seen this car yet, here's a peak into this monster.




Skip to the 5:40 to see the unvieling. (key people such as company owners and top management where present from BMW, KW, etc.)

Their website is http://134judd.de/


George Plasa has been responsible for the creation and driving of his previous vehicle - Judd V8 powered E36. There are many videos on YouTube of this past car.

Some may ask why do such a modification to a vehicle. Which would be natural, the simple answer it's cost effective and gains are worth the effort. Some may be scratching your head how would that be. But in the lifespan of the vehicle, one would go through many conventional motors, turbos, rebuilds, contineous R&D to extract more HP from their current setups. Soon this becomes a never ending process year after year. Go route of the extreme from the beginning - which is allowed in the Unlimited Class and be able to concentrate more efforts into other areas. Done right, the motor shall have an extended lifespan considering it's type of racing - "Hill Climbs" The car isn't on longer then a few minutes to complete the course.
