Awesome. Some of the best captured racing I've ever seen. I'm a little biased toward the Spitfire because I have one. Similar to the one in the race, (early rear end) and only partially modified.

Lovely footage.. wish you could have captureed the audio w/o all the wind noise.

Is the Sprite supercharged? I saw one, a bugeye, at a British car meet in WA that had a tiny supercharger--this one sounds like it has one also.

No, the Sprite has a well prepared 1275. I was running a fairly mild 1147 at the time.

Straight cut gearbox.

Nice video! The footage from the two cars really made it interesting. On the face of it they're pretty similar cars but on the track here it looks like the Spitfire has it in the corners but the Sprite has it on the straights! Looks like it could have gone either way right to the end.
