Great video. Good to see the 914 showing the other cars how it's done! I hillclimb a 914 in the UK and I would love to know the spec of your car as it seems to be pretty quick and balanced.
Hey Dominic, thank you very much! It is a 2.0 Liter 1973 Porsche 914 which is optimized within the FIA Regulations. Basically this means pretty limited optimization potential. Best results where achieved with increasing negative camber on both axles, repositioning the battery and using good tires.
Its actually pretty balanced when driving alone. The course is very narrow with sharp turns, so at a wider course or f.i. the nurburgring it is neutral to slight oversteer. If we would try to reduce the low speed understeer without load (which is difficult under FIA Regulations), it might cause high speed snappiness. So at the moment we are very happy with the cars behaviour.

That was 4 cylinder? What did you do it for such acceleration?

How is it there is both understeer and oversteer so close together? Clearly plenty of power but…
