Title: The best rotary vehicle racing?
Post by: w4speed on April 20, 2012, 02:56:13 PM
I suggest this is the best racing for Wankel-powered vehicles anywhere:

  Good track / racing experience is required to race these extremely fast machines.

 But you don’t race it? If not, why not? You’d have to go a long way for more motorsport fun than that (and spend an awful lot more).

Didn\'t realise they did rotary engines for Go karts.
Have you got one w4speed? Any pictures?

Oh yes, this is the 4th season of racing these karts in the UK.
  Primarily, it’s an aircraft engine â€" mainly UAVs, but others, too â€" like the one used by Bear Grylls to paraglide over Everest (boosted to nearly 100hp): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncaSNZ6LDMQ

  Yes, I have one. I’m no. 52 in the picture:

  Onboard race video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jZ-QuKvsrE  (don’t know happened with the wobbly graphics)
 
  Contact here for test drive etc: http://www.aim-motorsport.co.uk/ - you’ll be blown away by the experience (even with plenty of high-performance track/racing experience, which is required).
 
  NB: I have no commercial interest in this whatsoever; just spreading the information.
 
  PS: So you’re in Guildford â€" me too. I take it you drag race?
