      Only in 1911 the famous bricks where laid down.
      All the other tracks where dirt back then, because they usually raced on old horse racetracks.

      @@rolux4853 ERM, the fastest competitions took place on areas of flat land like course dirt and sand. The famous salt flats allowed automobiles to reach their highest speeds safely and is where the land speed record is held.
      But normal asphalt roads existed, and more so concrete. The first asphalt road was placed in 1892, the first concrete road was placed eons before that. Roads in Amerca had to be formed because of travel so often on famous travel path ways there was gravel, wood lain blocks, stabalized dirt paths, bricks, or fully laid cement. In cities however, most cities were brick laid, poured cement, a mix of sediments, or fine dirt/sand. By 1910, it was mostly concrete in every city.

      @@WitchKing-Of-Angmar there’s something that you seem to have misunderstood here.
      The Mors Grand Prix from 1908 was strictly a race car.
      Never intended for road use and absolutely no way to register it as a motor vehicle to travel on public roads.
      That’s why it’s absolutely correct to drive this car on dirt and gravel roads.
      It was its intended purpose.
      Of course there where already roads back then and public automobiles where constructed to perform good on them.
      But to this day sprint cars for example are made to be run on dirt, just like the Mors Grand Prix.
      Even if it could run on paved surfaces, since cars weren’t nearly as specific back then.
      As you would know I guess.

      @@johndoe1909 But if you DO build a 12.3l engine, I would say you don't go with a basic trim for it... Even though I don't think such a big engine would be feasible for a performance car nowadays, if one would decide to build one, I reckon it would get to about 1800HP the "basic trim" way (around 150HP/litre) and with high-performance parts, some turbos and all that good stuff in there, I would dare to say 2200 HP. I'm saying this based on the Volvo semi that has a 13-litre engine and does 2400 HP.

      I have a question... Does the total loss oiling system present any danger of slipping over and crashing? Does it have some kind of catch can or something? Just curious is all. I don't know much about old bikes. More into modern dirt squirters, just because that's what my friends and I can afford. Crappy Lifan bikes that you can rebuild with your eyes closed.

    • @buncho888
      @buncho888 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TrashDeviant not that dangerous. The oil pump only adds 1 drop every 2 seconds to the crankcase. Some of that is burnt and the overflow goes onto the primary chain. I have noticed that if you leave the bike idling it will leave some oil on the ground underneath the primary chaincase (to the left of the rear wheel) which is open on my bike. If you're moving it's a minuscule amount of oil on the road.

      Although I agree with tortron, still a good idea. Replicas may not have the history behind them, but they're still a wonderful hat tip to the glory days of motorsport. Which is why if I ever get my hands on an old Ford Falcon XY sedan, I'm going to turn it into a replica of the famed GTHO phase III in a classic racing livery.

Ideally a scanning device that scans through the car so that it has all of the internal components scanned too & how the function, not just the exterior.

    Thank you for not tossing in filler music with the exhaust note.
    However, please use the colours straight out of the camera for the rolling shots. The car has an entirely different color in the garage lights.

    beautiful, you know with todays "toxic masculinity" talk going on, this is really refreshing to see.. the typical side and not-so typical side of masculinity and femininity should be preserved and admired. sorry to break it to you, but men overwhelmingly prefer to stare at objects, tinker with objects, risk their lives for objects etc. men made this machine, and overwhelmingly the people who drive them are men. this is just apart of the human experience. i love seeing this, it makes me happy even though i do not share the "hobby" but have passions which are the same in its most primal form.

    When I was a 7 year old living in the South African City of Durban in the early 50s , there was an enormous maroon Mors touring car (1906 I think) garaged nearby. I recall it had a canopy over the rear tonneau only , with a tasseled fringe .so that when the engine was chugging, the tassels would all shimmy in rhythm. There were wonderful brass fittings including big headlamps ( with wicks !) and a huge bulb Hooter .The enthusiast Doctor owner was often working on it . I Wonder what happened to it ?
