    This makes up for not being able to attend. Watched the talk on livestream and bathed in Duncan's sheer natural enthusiasm - without doubt in my opinion one of the most entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable talks held at Brooklands. Ps: a little Anglo Saxon seamlessly dropped in spiced it up nicely and reminded me of past times

    What a fantastic car. I've seen it many times on TH-cam or on tv but unfortunately not yet live and raw at the same space. Watching Duncan's talk on TH-cam was brilliant. This car knocks all other cars for 6, especially any so called "supercars". In fact, that term should be bettered for this car and this car alone, as it truly is a hypercar!!!

    Thank you Duncan. I'm reminded of Dante's 'Inferno' when I see the Beast fire up!

      Infatti, là dentro c'è Lucifero che ne attizza personalmente le fiamme.

    Just beautiful, I can't imagine anything better. Air fuel mixture can be verified by eye and ear.

    An experience for which to aspire. Duncan Pittaway has the Crown Jewel of Fiat. I cannot think of a better custodian of the Beast.
    Bravo!

      Dear Roy Cousins
      Yeah 👍👌👏 But don't forget shop heater. The beast also give at least some light and definitely a good light show.
      Best regards, luck and health in particular.

    How many gallons per mile does it get?
    I am always amazed by the hand drafting of the bespoke mechanical parts before any calculators or computers. The same with the gears and engine performance for example, rod length, cam design, and lubrication, all by hand.

    One more piece of evidence that this thing will only behave in the presence of a sufficiently large mustache.

    Possibly the greatest car ever, I love the beast!.
    I'd love to see it in the flesh, and even more to ride shotgun in it. But seeing it makes me smile and be happy😁
    Note to Mr Pittaway, have some T Shirts made up, cos I'd love one, and I'm surely not alone in that wish👍

    Awesome, however what appeared to be giving the passenger 'hand relief' is unlikely to impress the judges, or was that one of the judges ?.

    The process of learning how to start this weapon must of been nerve wracking.
