I might have just witnessed the most powerful naturally-aspirated
#F1 car in existence, and you'll love the story behind it! 🔥
Ingo Gerst, owner of the Boss GP Championship, invited me into his box. Among the F1 and F2 cars was a 2006 Toro Rosso. That year, F1 switched from 3000cc V10s (~950hp) to 2400cc V8s (~750hp). Toro Rosso received a concession: they could keep using the V10 for one more year, with an intake restriction to cut its power
Ingo bought the car, removed the restriction to restore its full power, and as the original spare parts ran out, replaced them with newly designed ones, making the car even more powerful (and reliable): it now revs to 20100rpm!
I mean, look at the size of those radiators…
