That 3 engine car was very cool. 103mph for it is very impressive. I was thinking that adding an engine will increase torque rather than speed...

Very good video though. Thanks for sharing.

Jnev, it will techinically increase torque, and not speed, but when you increase the amount of torque, that allows you to gear higher, in turn giving you more speed.

not only that, but at high speeds, you need torque more than anything.

Indeed, since wind resistence will try to slow you down, so the extra torque allows you to 'force' yourself to go faster.

When and where was this exactly in the Uk, I would love to go next year with the Gmaxx and a new BL setup.
