I think you'll find its quicker than most of the cars on this website :P
Its looks to be a LeMans type sports prototype, however its probably one of the smaller 3 litre cars. still ungodly fast though.....

Euro test drivers seem to be expendable, i prefer a track with runoff, he seems to know the road very well.

They run hill climbs on Public roads over there... theres a great vid of a guy going full tilt (And I mean *FULL TILT*, gets it hung out and clips armco and all) in a F3000 up Mount Ventoux in France... no p!ssy little hill, up the side of a freakin Alpine mountain! (Found it! http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....3-761051EFD4B3 480hp, 550kg!!)
The guy in that vid seemed to be taking it very cautiously up the hill, virtually zero throttle input till he had the thing straight and pointed at the next corner...

that F3000 rocks, how slippery was the road? You could see the driver fighting the steering whenever he hit the brakes....

I dont wanna hijack *rayman*'s thread but these guys from SAAB would be a hit at the Summernats.
If nothing else both vids show why Northern Europeon drivers are right at the top of the list in F1 and Rally championships.
