I have the video paused in the other window.

Whoever made the song the video, has a love of F1 inversely proportional to his/her musical talents.

Screw it we all know it was a him. No need to be PC. A girl would have too much class to make that :)

Unpausing video for car stuff hopefully.

Holy moly talk about insane misguided genius.

The best part is when they have the car basically completed, and big fan on the front with streamers attached to it.

It's two older guys "playing race car builder" and kind of inspiring, in an insane kind of way.

If they showed up with this car in the 60's I wonder if they would have walked away with the championship.

And here's the translation of the info for the video, as I can totally speak Chinese dude, and not just use Google translation ;)

NIU shooting is how to become a F1 scrap the whole process of how to look at the Zhao brothers and big iron gate double radiator small bucket into a bike形神兼备the F1 car ... ... while we can imagine such a materials and equipment manufacturer with its performance of the F1 car really is quite different, but it's success for the realization of the dream and the courage to dream of two brothers is still very difficult process, although not easy but they did ... ... near their own crazy ideas to overcome one obstacle after another through the continuous efforts into a reality and really admirable daring to brave it seems as long as everyone can become a cattle people

I like how they never are seen with a jig or measuring instrument of any kind. I bet there is a reason you never see it get out of 2nd gear.

I've always wanted to build a ~1/2 scale Mclaren Mp 4/4 go kart. You would sit on the airbox, your pedals are on the front wing, and you turn Senna's helmet to steer.
