Finances & Money

Get your heart pumping by watching someone’s need for speed

Ladies and Gentlement, throw on a good pair of headphones, turn up the volume, play the video below and put it in full screen mode. You’ll be watching Lionel Regal fly up the Course de Cote at Mont Ventoux in his Mugen-Honda-powered Reynard F3000 car. He’s shifting so hard the shift knob comes off at the end.

No they’re not fast-forwarding the video; he’s just flying past the scenery that fast. I caught another of his videos last year and I nearly jumped through the monitor trying to get into that car with him. Thanks to Autoblog for this video.

    It reminds me of playing Mario Kart… except I’d be in the grass half the time.
