Listen to the guy at the end. People like that are worryingly clever.

Fair doos - he had his idea and carried it out.

All the suspension articulation and torque loadings are straight forward to be honest - it is as he says simple distribution of masses.

The real bit for me was the front wheel geometry of being close together and hence dictating the shape of the car. Very cool

But he's interesting to listen to - it's a shame more teachers weren't as animated as that! Fascinating project though isn't it!

I defy anyone to watch that and then say Physics isn't cool.

And he is understandably genuinely excited about it.

Amazing.

'British-ness' at its best.

Thanks so much for posting - I'll punt this one about.
