Racing these little machines is a battle between finesse and full-throttle bravery. The rear wheels are merely there to keep the exhaust from dragging on the ground, with all the weight sitting hard over the front axle. Pin the throttle and point it the direction you want to go, and it’ll pretty much make it happen. It’s truly impressive how few gearchanges these racers do in a lap of Goodwood. First gear is really only good for the standing start and taking off from the pit lane, second only happens briefly at the chicane, otherwise it’s flat out from third to fourth. And oh man, do these engines buzz up to high RPM in race trim.

Oh baby, I need a nap after watching that display of all-out madness.
