The 'RP968' runs one of Elmer Racing's monster four-litre, four-cylinder Thor engines. It holds the time attack record at Sydney's Eastern Creek circuit and is shockingly close to the outright record, held by Nico Hülkenberg in an A1GP car. With Thor engines dominating out in the wild and a new five-litre 'Hell' engine based on the Nissan VR38 nearly ready to hit the market, we thought this would be the perfect time to sit Oskar down and talk about how someone even goes about building an exquisite piece of tech like this. Where do you start? Is it all trial and error? What are the limitations? Is a billet engine for anyone that can afford it?
