Yeah, that's an motorcycle engine. Westfield sells them for example,
even for on the road.

Cheers!

Radical's don't have that cone over the steering wheel. Engine
sounds like a typical small block racing engine,then again, I
don't think you'd see a Lemans Prototype doing a solo run either.

Think 3-liter straight six, as in BMW.  And sure you would.  That's Alain
Castellana.

There's a great onboard from an F3000 going up Mt. Ventoux somewhere online,
can't remember where.  Utterly insane.  In a good way... ;-)

They don't have the same video up atm, but some other nice ones.  A sad
moment in one of them for GPL fans, though!

"Steve Blankenship"...

Hill-climbing is one of those categories which have slipped under the
nanny-state radar and which have gotten quite mad, true. <g>

Well drivers like that takes balls.... One mistake or equipment failure
and you face planted into a rock cliff or over a steep embankment.

I've done the Remiremont course downhill with my regular car.
Not knowing anything about these races I already tought it was just like a
racetrack. :-)
