A thing of beauty. Although I have to admit, it will take some adjustment to get accustomed to the sound of only road noises and tires. At first I was taken aback at how the Markus Winkelhock was dressed. No nomex gloves, suit (sweater?) open up front. Fairly different than most in cabin footage for vehicle record attempts at the Nurburgring. Then it occurred to me that the protective equipment used for fire protection isn't needed in this case nor would it be for any EV racing or HPDE. Thanks for posting it.

What I need it it to cost one third the projected price... ;-)
