Balls of steel, brilliant

Apparently its a famous beast known as the race taxi...............


Below is translated from the Race Taxi web page...........


At present we are to be tested with the Race taxi in the test phase around chassis attitudes. For the optics (lacquer finish inside and outside) still no time was used. The current lacquer finish is only a rust protection. After conclusion of the test phase the vehicle is divided completely and laid on only then the final lacquer finish. Subsequently, the Race taxi is again developed. Let you surprise.

I think these guys are the same as another clip I saw on Youtube. It was a mini van, stripped out with a Honda VTec engine vs. Sabine Schmidt in a 997C2S at the ring. Sabine only just beat it on the long straights where the Porsche had alot more grunt, on the twisty stuff the Mini was off into the distance.
