Nice retro artical about the crapri 2.8. Don't go for them myself. Can't imagine anyone paying over 10K for one, well an Rs3.1 with ahistory mebee.
Loved the Honda shoot out. couldn't beleive what Buttons car did to the superbike after 100 yards!!

The honda shoot-out was ace.
There was a comment when Jenson was doing the donuts about it being the end of the 8th or 9th engine in the race year that got me thinking-
What happens to the old engines over the course of the year? Do they just chuck them in the skip, folg them off or what? Surely they could be rebuilt. Or am I just being a bit dumb and taking the statement at face value. Is the engine re-built 8 or 9 times a season?

I think the engines have to get reconditioned after races anyway but I'm not sure, it's likely that the engine wouldn't last more than a few races though without replacement, I mean the revs those engines get to is incredible, and the heat must be enough to murder cylinder heads in no time!
