Honda tops 400km/h at Mojave
Alan van der Merwe sets a new unofficial Formula 1 speed record while revving up for Bonneville. B.A.R Honda has unofficially broken the 400km/h barrier during its preparations for a Formula One record attempt now scheduled for Bonneville early next year.
After rains at the famous Salt Flats in Utah washed out the team's plans to set a new standard in 2005, a final skakedown was organised at the Mojave airbase in California. During this test, Alan van der Merwe, smashed the 400km/h mark no fewer three times.
Gary Savage “The car ran perfectly.It was an encouraging day and we are confident that we can achieve this speed and more at Bonneville.”
