Nissan 'Batmobile' to race at LeMans

[Tim M]

Check out this radical design for a race car - Batmobile

The video shows it can corner just fine on 4" wide tires Lots of things to question like braking (but it does prove Mike's point of a rear brake bias on a rear weight biased car does work), how long will the front tires last, and how does a driver get used to the width of the car in a turn? Pretty cool concept

Looks like it should be racing at Bonneville.



btw, thought you might enjoy this. Attempted the world speed record for an Electric Powered Bar Stool! Don't know if she made it.

What a cool car. I was concerned about stability braking into a corner, but from the video it looks to do just fine. I am guessing since there is very little weight on the front, turning it with the small front tires is no problem.

Yea try stopping that thing with little baby brakes on the rear!
