King of the turns... 2-cylinder, two-stroke, 0.6 liter engine, 80 HP (original factory power 26 HP

). But it weighs only 585 Kg (1290 lb)

Pretty impressive to see how it gets passed in the straights but just dominated in the turns. Sounded like he was on the throttle pretty good through a lot of those turns.

"That guy" is apparently one of the best when it comes to track-driving a Trabant. I'm pretty sure he knows whatever he needs to know, let alone something like heel-and-toeing.
Besides, this car is a whole lot different than what most people here are used to.
