    cool video...but,as much of a fan of racing as I am, I never got on-board with this design...it seemed to outlandish for me, sort of like science fiction or that Mammoth Car from Speed Racer...I'm still unclear as to what the advantage is since they are the non powered wheels, maybe more grip?, but adds more weight?...sorry I just can't get past the looks...

      K, The look was unique, likely one of the reasons why I'm attracted to it. This video post was also as much about the greatness of Jackie Stewart. I think you hit it regarding the grip upside, more contact patch on the ground. I recall Honda road race bikes during the Freddie Spencer era having a small front wheel for much the same reason. Nice article that goes into some details on the 6 wheelers here http://www.australianautosportcommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=57#p383
