Old photo of a Finnish racer at an IMM in the 90's from my mate Roald.

I bet those long inlets gave this thing some torque!

It clearly never gets hot though :shock:

Be possible to hide under a standard bonnet too , if the rest of the bodywork and superwide wheels didn't give it away ....

Looks like buggy tyres.

Top and bottom radiator hoses lead rearwards. My guess is boot mounted radiator as the battery is up front leaving more room for a huge rad at the back.

Buggy tyres aren't a bad idea for a grasstrack or dirt khana car.
Not suitable for road or circuit use though.

It's from Finland - the radiator is in the cabin as a heater - battery is in the engine compartment to stop it freezing :roll:
