Need somebody to bore you with ideal bore to stroke ratios, or the intricacies of how variable valve timing works? Ask Andrei and watch the hours roll by… He’s also quite a strange bloke who never turns the air-con on in any car for the very obvious reason of it sapping power. He says that’s what racing car drivers do, but he’s really only referring to people in overalls with sweaty pits. Speaking of pits, Andrei also fancies a bit of track driving, yet holds no bias towards which configuration is best suited for the circuit - he likes rear-wheel drive for having fun, and front-wheel drive for a good lap time challenge.
