Interesting new streamliner coming to Speed Week

[TrickyDicky]

See car #522 (AA/BFS) ...

Correction: it seems JCB Hydromax will be chasing the (arguably soft) AA/BGS record rather than the out-of-reach AA/BFS one.

I don't normally do Facebook but I can read the SCTA account, which says reps have voted to put hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines in the Gas classes rather than Fuel.

It's probably a bit academic since I think they are more interested in setting an FIA record, i.e. mainly using Speed Week as an extended test 'n' tune session.

Agreed. When I spoke with Steve Watt, I got the impression that Speedweek was basically a test & tune for the following weekend where they will make an assault on an FIA record. I've sent an inquiry to the FIA asking about classification and if they are running on a current or open record. Stand by.

They should be in A-XV-14.

There are no existing records in that class.

Perhaps there's a minimum for the 200 Club?

Gee, haven't seen Andy Green for a while -- looks a little older>

...

Eh? I don't think so ...

... Andy's already in the 200 Club! 😉

[Stan Back]

. . . if there's no record for a class, the 2-Club sets a minimum for the driver that sets a record at or over the minimum for that class.

Ah yes, I wasn't previously aware that the 200mph Club influences the FIA.
