I know that there are guys in this forum who have built 126 for racing use. It would be nice to hear which makes a 126 faster than "others"? Which are the magic modifications if you would wan't to built a fast 126? Lets try to keep in 2-syl engines so that there is some sense in this..
If you know a place in Europe which sells 126 racing parts.. please post it here!

The first think I thought when I watched the video is "How do they get the wipers working that fast?"
;D
Awesome video, awesome car & driving skills. Thanks for sharing.

Just spotted your post about 126 race cars, you may like mine. My interest came from the Zcars Minis but I wanted different.
Chatted with a guy called Piotr in Poland, who posted me this link, the rest is history, 3 years later I now have one in my garage.
