Wow! I'd love to hear more about this one!

Which electronics?

How fast does a car like this run?

8th scale electric pan cars, my guilty pleasure

what body is that? it looks like a bastard child between a Porsche 917K and something else from CanAm or Group C (esp the front)

It's a Porsche 956 from Delta Plastik

Going to make a video on it. 1/8 on road, not GT, this is traditional on road, but electric from Serpent Vector lineage. These cars are purpose built for large high speed circuit tracks like in Europe. Speed on the straights can reach up to 90 mph depending on gearing and motor (electric and nitro). Handling is precise due to the chassis being purpose built, not a converted 1/8 buggy.

Yeah, speeds like those, the first crash is the last! I bet they are a tricky car to race.
One sneeze could ruin your whole season!

I think the track would be too fast for me to enjoy but if I had a car to not care about crashing, I bet it could be fun to learn too!

I'm looking foward to seeing the vid too!
