GP2 joyride car on a highway

[Hates_]

CAF

[McSwede]

That's an F1 car. Ferrari don't do GP2 and GP2 cars don't sound like that.

[Rich B]

Yeah, looks early 2000s F1?

[Mito Man]

I reckon it’s an old GP2, they used to look damn near identical to F1 and had a 4 litre V8 until the F1 cars went hybrid and ended up being put to shame. Nothing Ferrari about it though, Dallara chassis and Renault V8.

Seen other videos- I did wonder how the camera car was keeping up with it- turns out it’s a Bugatti Chiron

Also I think it’s a gp2/08

[Jimmy Choo]

Does anyone remember the name of the Canadian racer who used to post on here/the other place who had an indycar? I remember that he said he took it for a test run near where he lived.

Don’t care what it actually is, that is CAF!

The noise!

What about the very obvious Ferrari logos and what appears to be an F1 logo? Could all be misdirection, but seems unlikely.

There's nothing correct about the livery either. It's no different to slapping on a Gulf livery on a 911 and driving it down to LeMans. It's using both forms of the cigarette advertising - the obvious Marlborough lettering and the then later barcode version of it designed to contravene the cigarette ban. It's running the current F1 logo. The Shell logo is too small and the Ferrari too big. The front wing and nosecone isn't F1. It's not a V10 either.
It's just done up for fun.

Also after a quick look on YouTube to try to narrow down the age of the car I reckon it may be this exact car

[Broccers]

That is mega

Was on the forum of old and used to post cars and coffee in Nevada I believe. The old indycar was a march of some kind

As cool as the mini batmobile fan car thingy was, that’s the sort of thing you want to see given full beans at goodwood

[integrale_evo]

Yep. I’d like to see them let proper f1 cars do some test runs to get a setup for it and do some proper flat out runs instead of demos on wet tyres to show off to the crowd.

Oh yeah! I vaguely remember him. Can't for the life of me think of his name though.

Scottsdale, Arizona? That guy with an F40 and (I think) a 360CS? I'm sure someone from the forum met him at some point.

Was his name Dino or something?

I never knew he was Canadian or a racer TBH.

[mik]

Dino. “Ingenere” wasn’t it?

Ah, that's the one.

I think I'm combining two people. It was Dino who had the indycar and someone else who raced in Canada.
