A brand new week of Speedhunting is about to kick off, but before we get stuck into that, it’s time to take a quick look at some of the videos we’ve been checking out over the past seven days.
Let’s kick things off with a new clip out of Jay Leno’s Garage…
There’s one thing we really love about Jay Leno’s popular automotive channel on YouTube, and that’s that you never know what’s coming next. From the world’s rarest and most exotic cars to the weird and wonderful, JLG knows no bounds. But it’s especially cool when the spotlight is shone on an interesting garage build, and that’s exactly what this Mazda 13B turbo-powered ’66 Volkswagen Beetle is.
Over the past couple of months we’ve shared the individual clips from Blackbird Automotive’s superb The Breakfast Club series, which told the story of four Group 5 racing icons from the early ’70s. Following those clips is this, the Full Edit – 9-minutes-worth of sportscar awesomeness from a bygone era of motorsport. Best you put the kettle on…
The Hong Kong modified car scene has really been turning it on of late, and one of the most recent events held only serves to highlight the fact. As you’ll see from the Initial P clip above, the Copaze x Super Street carpark meet attracted some damn cool cars.
Finally this week, we’re taking you to Australia via Fullboost, and catching up with the Moits Racing team who recently claimed the 10.5-inch wheel world record with a 5.86 @ 255mph (410km/h) pass in their Ford Mustang doorslammer. That’s an incredible time for a small-tyre car – thanks in part to the ‘Stang’s Pro Line Racing 481X billet V8 engine running twin Precision Pro Mod turbos.
As always, if you’ve watched a cool clip online this week, don’t forget to share it in the comments section below.
