I assume they do that to keep it from stalling, though it seems to fire up easily enough.

Neat vid. I'd like to see one with a more in-depth look at the internals. I mean, it's not like they have to keep their technology secret from their competitors anymore. At any rate, can't wait for Le Mans this year. Should be fun seeing the 787B rocket down Mulsanne once again.

That car is a truly a thing of beauty...Im so glad that they rebuilt it and it will fly around a track once more! It would be such a shame if not. Kudos to all the people that made that happen, and thanks for sharing it to us jack, hope your at least happy about this
