With a sponsor driven activity there is the possibility that the BAR team will just shoot for a GPS recorded top speed. That would be a shame, as the run should be clocked through the mile or kilo either twice or in both directions (depending on your choice of methods).
After the Indy race debacle, it will be interesting to see what rubber Michelin offer for this activity. I cannot see the team getting dispensation from their contracted supplier if they are scheduled to run with Michelin in 2006.
Anyone know if Michelin have been assembling salt running data over the years?
With the air density they will loose some of the 900 horses but it should still sing at 19k. It seems Takumo will not get the drive, so the engine may survive with luck being with the others named.
I cannot get to the salt at all this year so I too would like to be told how it sounds. There again maybe someone may get some engine souvenirs after the pass ........
