Swedish Students Build Yamaha R1-Powered Car . . . For School
There’s something horribly wrong with the U.S. education system. In our community college automotive repair programs, kids are learning how to repair the brakes on Toyota appliances. In Sweden, the students at Thorildsplans Gymnasium technical school are building batshit-crazy Yamaha R1-powered go carts. 145 horsepower in something that weights as much as a Radio Flyer. This video shows the fruits of their labor. Pardon the crap-rock soundtrack.
