    What's with the flickering tail light? Wiring problem, or is it set up to flicker so it looks like a pace car or something?

    Cameras don't record LED lights normally, thus the effect.

    Not possible.

    Legal to drive in a rally maybe, not on road registration.

    I see them all over Europe on the roads in Germany and Italy. They also drive them around the factory.

    The factory has special transport rights on the roads as the sites are separated sometimes by several streets.

    On the roads in Germany.... I can't vouch for.

    However, not having a handbrake would surely be illegal??

    I don't think it would be a lot of fun driving a CH on the street.

    Hitting the roll cage without a helmet in an accident, not good.

    These are Prova cars around the factory, but fun to see on the road.
