Well Manuel, it has a steering wheel , so it is a pretty cool thing with a wheel. And here it is in action.


On the heels of Ken Blocks insane Gymkhana videos and the groundbreaking snowboarding/rally part to close out DCs MTN.LAB 1.5 video, the DC Co-Founder and Rally Team Driver has joined with Subaru to make the worlds fastest cat track operation automobile for backcountry access for snowboarding. Dubbed the TRAX STI, this is a new teaser video from the test session for the highly-modified, snow-ready (to say the least) car.
:p

Following the unveiling of the six-wheeled Tyrrell P34 Formula 1 racer, March built its own racer with six wheels. This was made possible by a change in Formula 1 regulations in 1976. The difference between the two cars was that the March had four rear wheels, and the Tyrrell four front wheels. Also, the two manufacturers had different technological objectives: the Tyrrell’s ‘smaller’ front wheels were to reduce aerodynamic drag, whereas the March’s wheels were all the same size but four were fitted at the rear to improve grip. The March’s ‘2-4-0’ model designation refers to the Anglo-Saxon Whyte notation system for axle arrangements in steam locomotives: two leading wheels, four driving wheels, zero trailing wheels. The designation ‘771’ stands for ‘racing season 1977, Formula 1’.

The six-wheeled racer was tested extensively at Silverstone by Ian Scheckter, Jody Scheckter’s older brother, but it never raced competitively. At the end of the 1977 season March pulled out of Formula 1 racing and the car was sold to the British hill-climb specialist Roy Lane.

This Maserati 8CTF single-seat racecar won the Indy 500 in 1939 and 1940.


Indianapolis 500, 1939. After a dramatic race, it's an Italian car that captures the victory.
Maserati 8CTF, driven by Wilbur Shaw, was the only European car to triumph in Indianapolis for two consecutive times Maserati .
