Last week, Jeroen, gave us a quick spotlight into the Team Edlinger E30. It’s hard to tell from the photos alone that the car is more than just a race car but more of a drooling, snarling, fire breathing beast. So, to follow up with that spotlight, here’s a video of the car hauling all sorts of behind while on its 2nd race. Turn up those speakers because this car sings!

Any race car that sparks like this E30 is a winner in my book.

Wow, that is a real deal badass ride!

2

Wow, hard to believe this was once a bog-standard E30.



Is there anything left from the E30?!?

3

they could have chosen a car that doesnt look terrible to start with and had alot sweeter results

4

e30 looks terrible? jezzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The e30 is probably up there with one of the most proven chassis's to build a race car from but whatever floats your boat and anything that goes this fast wont look like a factory car. After reading the comments in the other threads on Team Edlinger i might as well keep my comments to myself since there are so many people on here that don't know anything about motorsport and probably want to stickerbomb there car.

this is some wild driving in a wild machine.

nice vid Linhbergh

7

so simple and so insane.

Those casr are the coffinnails for legal Hillclimbling because they are to fast and to unsafe on normal streets.

I'm curious to know what cars "kstyle" thinks look good.

Some in car video would pull a premium.

Anything stopping these sorts of cars competing in time attack competitions when not monstering windy roads? I'd love to see what sort of lap time this could do against one of the legends of time attack. This at tsukuba haha that'd be mean.

12

huckebein, these are the coffinnails? They race F3000s and all kinds of prototypes in these events and have been doing so for years. F3000s are a quite a bit more dangerous than these, unfortunately proven again by F3000 hillclimb legend Lionel Regal's fatal crash last month in St. Ursanne. RIP.



This is a cool car but can't match the coolness of Georg Plasa's E36 and Reto Meisel's Merc 190, both Judd V8 powered :)

my god a race car sparking is such a rare sight these days, such a glorious sight. The car itself is a work of form and function perfectly blended together in a seamless package that takes one back to the good ole dtm days of e30 m3s and cossie powered mercs etc.

EPIC!....enough said...haha nah seriously this is a really beastly car and thats why i love hillclimbs so much! its a pitty they dont build cars like that over here (australia) cause that would make hillclimbs more popular over here. and i cant believe how friggin huge those rear diffusers are...well how big everything is really.

James, unfortunately we don't have the hills for it. You have a few specific hill climb tracks like Jacks hill and Mt Cotton or the big daddy Mt Buller sprint which is done with pacenotes/navigator so not really a hill climb. There are other event but those are what come to mind for me.



There are various hill climb specials that turn up for those (well not Buller as it is run under Tarmac Rally regs) which are quick.



As an immigrant from Austria it makes me happy to see footage from the home land and I've been hanging off hillclimbfans.com for a while now soaking up all the vids/pics they provide.



Hill climbs in Europe are held in high regard with various manufacturers even doing works entries for the bigger 1's even Porsche made a car specificaly for hill climbs the 909 bergspyder.

what is ander the hood?

LF wheel 2" off the ground at 3:40 proves that the suspension is wrong. Seems to be quite loose in the rear, too, when he gets on the gas. Other than that, I'm a big fan =D

^You have no clue what you are talking about. Have you ever set up a true race car suspension?



^LF wheel 2" off the ground is do to the uneven pavement and very stiff suspension. 99.9% of the course looks nice and flat why would they soften the suspension for 0.1% of the course. Now this is all just my opinion, but I have been racing formula cars in the SCCA and setting up real race suspensions for 10+ years now.
