Brutus

I feel this pic needs an introduction....

This is an old Bentley chassis (I think) fitted with a 46 litre engine from a WW1 fighter plane, I think the engine was built in 1912.
It produces 1750 bhp at 800rpm and drives the rear wheels via a chain.
There are no brakes on the front wheels.

This pic was taken in the pouring rain and the driver was not holding back at all.

Hardcore


Not the best pic ever but I like it

Well, it may not be the best, but it certainly is good! I like how you were able to keep the driver sharp but everything else has some sort of blur.

Great pic of the legendary beast, liking the focus and the treatment.

There is a video of Brutus cooking a Bratwurst with the flames from the exhaust at a show in Germany on youtube, they hand out bits of the sausage to the crowd afterwards.

It is a monster of an engine..

That's a wild looking shot.....certainly evokes a sense of brute force

Just found this, viewing on my phone. I love it.., works in a very emotive way.I'm sure I could look at it for hours.

Thank you, I'm glad others like it as much as I do.
