ON the Highway stretches he was probably barely going at 85Km/h and that was just to over take the vehicles. The stretches in the narrower roads were not reckless or creating any more of a danger than any normal driver would. I seen people driving much faster than that on Barbados roads and they're in little box cars called Vitzs.
@woodthink Count the gears, most of the time it's in 1st gear, the wide angle lens along with the noise gives a perception of higher speed than is. I see and hear dangerous driving on the roads here in Barbados every day, from crazy ZR drivers to the road racers at Warrens every damn night keeping the neighbourhood awake. That video isn't remotely taking risks.
@geefin That's for the perspective. You guys got a point. I suppose the regular traffic is much worse. I remember we lost several cats crossing the road and that was in the '70's.
@ 2:06-2:15 driving thru Westmoreland? looks alot like it...I can tell by the overpass and the walls on the edge of the road
...watchin this just made me homesick lol....I haven't been down there in 2 yrs =[ ..If any one is lookin for a vacay spot...do yourself a favor and go down there
Hi, if you head to ths site, click on profiles then wr1c there's an in depth feature on the build of the car. It's naturally aspirated, the whoosh/whirr is the Keihin flatslide carbs (52mm) sitting on the tuned R1 engine. It was about 190bhp and weighed 400kg (we had to ballast up for Barbados). Most of the modifications for rallying where just strengthening up the chassis and suspension :)
I've looked at your site, but can't really seem to find any info on this car. It sounds like the Hayabusa engined Westfield, but it'd be fun to know what modifications have been done for rally duty. Also, is the car turbocharged? I sometimes hear something that sounds like a turbo spool when you get on the throttle and a blowoff when you shift. Anyway, cool videos, and it looks like great fun :)
The wheel is our design (can't seem to post links here to show it though). It's a Momo 27D, with carbon plate and paddles, running through a Lemo q/r boss (so no wires). The shift system is Proshift, so clutchless up and down the box. Like Playstation, only louder :)

Flatshifts are *better* for the gearbox, they wear the dogs less. Should be mandatory to have one on all sequential boxes in my opinion!
