how was the renault f1? was it rev limited? do they make you drive behind a pace car?

@ozsnowbum - the original engine is replaced with a JUDD F1 engine (3.0 litre V8 that makes 550 BHP @ 12.000 rpm). Total weight of the car is 520 kg. Rev limit was just above 12.000 rpm. You have to drive behind a pace car driven by Rajamäki himself. The pacecar is a Nissan Dallara Formula car with 435 HK / 550 kg. Unless you are a very skilled formula driver, he will not slow you down. Driving the Renault F1 car was the most exciting experience I have ever had on a racetrack ever.
