Something makes me wanna call BS on the F1 engine. It may truely have one, but I've never heard of anything aside from an F1 car using one. They are just too expensive to put in a 190 when a lower tech turbo engine would probably be just as fast.

That was a one off from Renault themselves, using Williams' expertise.
Judd isn't a factory outfit, they've always sold customer engines, but mostly in the late 80s early 90s period, and in fact they power most of the vintage-ish F1 cars you see in the vintage F1 series... anyone with enough money can buy an F1 spec engine from them, or even an LMP spec engine.
It's entirely plausible this is an F1 spec V8 from the late 80s, you have to remember they weren't revving to 20,000 rpm back then.
It said "Judd V8," in the title, Which leads me to believe that it's a sports car design. of course, I don't follow any open-wheeled cars, so, I could be wrong.
That, and I couldn't see the video, just heard the sound.
Well that Merc looks to be a hillclimb car. The Judd V8 is well used throughout various European hillclimb series so i can't see why it wouldn't be Judd powered.

Yeah, just like that. The Judd unit is pretty reliable - especially since Hillclimbers only cover a handful of miles at every event. I think the Hillclimb version is probably based on the old F3000 unit.
