It's the physic too. That low mass,with an low center of gravity(tiny wheels)+ good balance (mid/rear engine),that already a perfect start! Love this car.
It's got the sort of point-and-squirt quicksilver speed, like a terrier after a rat. Fantastic machine, and whoever the engineers were who designed the suspension and aero setup did a brilliant job. Getting a car with such a short wheelbase to corner like that is nothing short of incredible. The Stratos has a well-deserved reputation as a bit of a handful, with a similar footprint, but this turns in with a darting enthusiasm and then corners as if it's on rails!
@@houseofsolomon2440he uses Avon tires i don't know the compound but i think something softer because the hillclimb is about 7-8 km. For Trento Bondone (the university of hillclimb) 17 km i think little bit harder
OMGOOOSH ❤❤❤ I had two X19s as a teenager. Dual Webers with full-length headers. I miss working on them. I always knew it was capable of way more performance. Bayless was my goto for parts. Man, the good old days 😂❤❤
that drivers been driving this car for a while. i watch this call EVERY time i see a video of it. he has some seat time in it. this is just what it looks like when you master your craft with the tools you got. the driver is pure insane and i loooove it
Sem falar que quem foi que ajustou esse carro deve ser um gênio, pois mesmo com um setup aerodinâmico mais conservador, o carro ainda sim anda como se estivesse nos trilhos!
God damn this little Fiat is built and setup and driven to sheer perfection.... sounds God damn phenomenal as well whew 😅 I think a quick change rear if one already isn't installed and a nice simple centrifugal supercharger would make this somehow even better, a nice 400ish hp, same hp and tq curve as what she's already got, swappable pullys if more or less is needed, and of course, the quick change final drive that would be needed to counteract it as I've already heard this glorious thing banging off the limiter in top gear with how tightly setup this car is 👌 Hell, I'd love to terrorize the streets in this thing, nice dark silver paint perhaps, some light bronze wheels and frame, and away I'd go....catch me 🤣😬
My default video speednon youtube is set to 3x, and i switch to 1x for car videos. For this one, i accidentally switched to 0.75x and the tiny alpha still looked quick
It's truly impressive how a "fairly modest" build runs rings around much more powerful (and certainly more expensive) cars, this car is almost always at the top of the leaderboard. It goes to show that _some_ things just can't be fixed with money, the true talent behind the driver and his team is priceless.
We the viewers will be waiting patiently and all... An awesome car right from the get go and continues to prove that it aint no slouch. A great car, driver combo 🌝🤪
This car is set up so well and the driver drives it so well. I kept looking for the car to twitch or break loose a little. Never happened.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing, who setup this car is a tuning genius! And the fact it's "added with lightness" just makes it even faster!
It's the physic too.
That low mass,with an low center of gravity(tiny wheels)+ good balance (mid/rear engine),that already a perfect start!
Love this car.
I agree with everything you said.. great to watch
Yes, but imagine giving this engine even a little boost ... it would be insane ... if the cylinder liners would just hold the pressure ... 🙂
It broke loose. You just didn't notice.

It is one of the most successful European HillClimb cars for a reason ;)
@@HillClimbMonsters I wasn't aware, but I'm not surprised in the least. The driver has to be something special, too, just to keep up with such a car.
@@gerryjamesedwards1227 The driver,Manuel Dondi,is one of the best in business.
Manuel Dondi very top driver +Fiat x1/9 by Cavallini very top car ✌💪❤
What kind of tire/tire compound he use?
At the very very Top ;)

Fantastic. What a car, what a Driver
For god damn sure!

Always like the looks of Fiat's X1/9... but being 6'4" I just couldn't fit in them, so I never bought one.
It is a tiny thing for sure. Low center of gravity to the point of no return ;)
This driver is a savage. Fearless.

@@AlteredCarbons Manuel Dondi is about as talented as we´ve ever seen...and we have seen a lot...
Que ronco maravilhoso com leveza ao extremo e ainda manteve a beleza do carro, a maioria só entope de asas e difusores imensos sujando o desing
Sem falar que quem foi que ajustou esse carro deve ser um gênio, pois mesmo com um setup aerodinâmico mais conservador, o carro ainda sim anda como se estivesse nos trilhos!
Sem contar como é insano tirar 320cv de um 4 cilindros aspro.
Insane car. Next level X19.
Now this thing looks seriously fast. Would love to have a lap time comparison to a gp race car.
Wish I had the balls to drive my aw11 like this. Awesome setup.
Old is gold a story thats always been told
What a car should run like
That's a well executed piece of kit there 👌
This thing is seriously SET UP well!
Steers like a slot car!

I heard this monster and.... Sheeeeeeeeit😍
What a nimble little beast 🚀
Hard to find nimbler we´d say..
@@HillClimbMonsters 😊
So this is a 155 2.0Ts racing engine? Goes very well and the wee fiat is well set up!
Just BRILLIANT!
For god damn sure!
Precision excellence.
To the nth degree ;)
Send it !
Wow! Awesome! Is the video sped up at the beginning though?
Nope
Che bomba...
👏🏁🚗😎very good! cool car
Yes it is!

Fun toy ❤
A winning one at that ;)

Nyc video guys, but it would be nice to see the engines

I think it's got the engine and gearbox from an Alfa Romeo 155 D2 like this 👍
Bona fide
That is a rocket 😂

Thanks!

This.
What do you mean by fairly modest? Kk
@@MrPeteRR299 not too crazy looking earo package, "only" 320hp.
Compared to other hillclimb cars it looks tame but certainly doesn't perform that way.
@@twanheijkoop6753 only 670 kg. Very light car, very low and great driver behind the wheel. Spectacular.
0:50 Those camera people doing literally the exact same movement like npcs in a video game looks so funny xD
The magic of watching Hillclimb Racing live on site ;)

Always great to see him in Buzet, such a legend and really nice person
Fingers crossed he is getting back this year.
Insane build. I had an X1/9 years ago. Respect to this guy to getting it so fast. They're very buggy cars.
When you say years ago…how many? I got one of the first ones delivered to Beverly Hills in 1974. What a fun car even without the engine swap.
Thi machine has been evolved for well over a decade now. It is one of the most sorted cars in European HillClimb Racing ever ;)
He and his team knows what they are doing, great job👍
For well over a decade now ;)
veramente molto agile questa vecchietta !!!
What a weapon
I have a 1982 Fiat X1/9. I wish mine sound and handle like this one!
È una "Lama" la macchina.
Perfetta!
damn that's quick.
that must be huge fun
Perfecta ejecución de este piloto.
Conoce a la perfección su auto y se acopla extraordinario.
Saludos desde México
I want that car
👍💪
