Watch in HD - (if you have the internet connection to do so) This is me driving the Formula Brands Single Seater around Brands Hatch for around 15mins, (cut for youtube) I've never driven on the track, or these single seaters! I did not want to get thrown off by being silly and ruining my day or others, so I took every corner on the racing line and took my time, trying to be as smooth as possible as this is what the instructors insisted we do. my car was a bit crunchy on the old gears, and they are limited to 4000RPM so not very good for lap times, but they was good enough for a experience! I'd recommend it! though watch out... for the slow ones!!! you couldn't even put in a good lap if you...

NILS is compact and lightweight (460 kg), it is a lot of fun to drive. It has a top speed of 130 km/h, and it can accelerate to 100 km/h in less than 11 seconds. This is accomplished by an electric motor with a reasonably small 15 kW nominal power and short-term peak power of 25 kW. A lithium-ion battery supplies the electric motor with energy. The battery capacity (5.3 kWh) enables driving ranges of up to 65 km, depending on the style of driving. A battery of this size is relatively inexpensive, and its capacity is sufficient for this type of car. The research vehicle can be charged either via a conventional 230 Volt electrical outlet (maximum charging time 2 hours) or at an electric...

RC Ansaldo SVA 5 Italian single-seater biplane. Imagine what it was like flying less than 100 years ago, single seat biplane flying for 7 hours to cover a little more than 600 miles...And testing those first aircraft without wind tunnels, simulators and computers, read on. Sgt. Mario Stoppani must have been a brave man, for on March 19, 1917, he test-flew the prototype SVA at Grosseto. Without modern testing and development procedures and simulations, he must have simply started up the engine, taxied down the field, and took off, hoping for the best. The most famous SVA raid took place in August, when eight SVAs flew to Vienna and back, a journey of 625 miles. The raid was the brainchild of...

Mid engine, single seat vehicle. Built from scratch. (not a Kit) How this car came to be: Three years ago my wife left Des Moines for Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She was driving a 1994 Chrysler LHS. She had her trusty cell phone and she had triple "A" (gold) with 100 mile towing. There was only one slight problem, there was a slight water leak in the cooling system. My twin sons were riding with her. They were eleven. My sons told me the story. According to them trouble started about twenty miles from Des Moines. That's when the red dash lights and bells started. She answered those warnings by pressing down harder on the accelerator. Later the car answered back with a loud knocking sound. She...
