HOLY HELL!!!!! I wonder if the STW means Sequential Turbo...something....
seems a little insane to stick a sequential turbo kit on a 2liter 4 cylinder though...
Killer in any form

I don't know how the driver can stand that screeching sound. That car was killing everything in it's path. Good find-

Yeah, that would be the ridiculously loud straight cut sequential gearbox! That video is AMAZING, some awsome driving there. Does look a little dodgey though, with the car narrowly missing a guy as he hops over the wall on the start grid!! lol
Anyone know anymore on the car in the vid, i went to the website mentioned, but i cant read dutch! lol

I've never seen it before, so thanks. In the Belgian Belcar championships the Marcos won about everything two years or so ago, and to see this 320 fly by many Marcos' :shock: Damn. Respect!

We don't see the finish, but I assume this guy won.

Personally, I much prefer the sound of a nice engine intake/exhaust (GT3, 360 CS, M3 CSL and the 'regular' Mac F1 to name a few) over that of meshing gears.

That was the only aspect of the BTCC which sucked. Indeed, that characteristic whine is the only feature of the McLaren F1 LM that I didn't like as well.

STW = Super Touren Wagen (Super Touring Car). In English, usually it's just ST.
