Скачать или смотреть Rover Jet 1 R Turbine Car first test runs

First short video takes of the initial test runs of my newly built Rover Jet 1 Recreation. This is a faithfull replica of the worlds first gas turbine driven car, the Rover Jet 1 (which can be seen at the Science Museum in Kensington/London/UK). My Recreation is powered by a Rover two shaft turbine which drives the rear wheels, just like the original one. The official roll out will be during a meeting of historic race cars at the Austrian F1 circuit (Red Bull Ring/Spielberg) on October 3rd, 2015. For more information please visit: http://www.ventilspiel.at . More videos (hopefully in better quality) will follow after the event.
