      Settore Lape Resing
      Il settore corse è tuttoggi in notevole espansione. Data l'esiguità del mezzo e il notevole risparmio in termini economici, è possibile per chiunque rubare un ape per poi montarselo fino a farlo diventare semitruzzo e potenziandolo quasi lo si dovesse sparare in orbita. Le prestazioni del suddetto veicolo sono paragonabili a quelle di un aereo militare in quanto a velocità e maneggevolezza. Il motore va con una particolare miscela di nafta agricola non decantata e olio d'oliva; alcuni venditori ambulanti utilizzano lo sputo come addittivo per migliorarne il rendimento e le prestazioni. La potenza dichiarata si aggira intorno ai 1250 cavalli morti. Il record planetario di velocità corrisponde a Mach 2.5 a 30000 piedi. Questo veicolo viene anche notoriamente usato nelle corse rally.
      Il Campionato Ikea di Lape si corre abusivamente in tutte le strade d'Italia, seguito da un discreto pubblico qualunquista. Ciò che è necessario per partecipare è una Lapa, un set resing Malossi o simile, un meccanico addetto alle modifiche e la tassa sullo sgombro dei carrabbinieri dal circuito di gara. Ma vediamo un'appassionante gara di Lape Resing, notare la quantità di spettatori a bordo pista e la competenza di tecnici e ingegneri:

      AFAIK most Ape Protos either use kart or quad bike axles, or automotive-derived locking diffs. Despite the fact that Loris is a bit of a local legend around these parts, I can't recall if he used the former or latter solution... But I'm quite sure he's using a solid axle & the rear wheels off a quad.
