Click on the above link for the video.

Remember those 3 seater F1 cars that were all the rage for a little while a few years back? I found this video, offered without much explanations. I imagine it must be rather hot stuffed back there between the radiators and the headers. Fun ride though.
Marc Gene is driving.

my buddy Stephen Watson use to drive the Arrows 3 seater.


Minardi's. These I think were Arrow 2 seaters... not sure. But these were the ones Champcar had last year.

That 3 seater looks kinda silly. I wonder how it performs compared to a F1 car. I also wonder how much more it weighs with the 2 extra occupants. If the 2 occupants weigh ~ 350 lbs and add in the extra weight in the car itself then you are probably talking of atleast 400 lbs. extra weight. probably more like 425 lbs. That would really upset the balance of the chassis.

I would still give my Left kidney or a spleen for the ride though.
