I especially enjoyed that video after just watching the Indy 500 this afternoon. Nice track. Nice Formula 2000. Nice driving.

This looks like a blast. How much faster is this than the current OEM track cars(ZLE, GT500, etc)? Because it looks like you are FLYING

Couple examples;
-Randy Pobst in a Zl1 1LE ran a 2:11 with the entire GM race support team as they do for magazine laps.
-ACR-E driven by a pro IMSA driver (Wei lu) did 2.08.
-modified GT3RS, lighter weight and shaved tires has done a 2.07 driven by a factory Porsche driver.

My car has about 150hp and tops out similar to a stock powered honda S2000, to try and put the corner speeds into perspective..

F1000 is the closest thing while being affordable and reliable. They use 1000cc bike motors and are considerably faster than my car

Which model is that? Do they make a 2 seat version?
If you want 2 seater, the Radical SR3 is the ONLY way to go. They are extremely easy to learn the limit as well. You don't want a 2 seat formula car.. Nor are you likely to actually find one for sale that works properly

Hayabusa power, 1340cc-1500cc

The one time I drove one of those, I kept getting rubber marbles launched at my helmet from the front tires during turns haha
