RECORD ATTEMPT IS ON.(Competition)(Formula One speed records)
BAR-Honda still intends to set a 250-mph Formula One speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats, even though the surface remains too wet.
On Nov. 4 the team ran its adapted (but F1-legal) V10 race car for the first time on the 10,000-foot Mojave Airport runway in California. Driver Alan van der Merwe broke the 248-mph barrier several times, on his way to a best speed of 257-plus mph, as he tested various systems developed for the record-run car.
The team acknowledges it may have to wait until next year to conduct the official speed run.
F1 gets a new team
Aguri Suzuki is the man behind the new F1 project revealed by Honda executives at the season-ending Grand Prix in Japan.
The Japanese former F1 driver and IRL entrant said his team would operate out of the former Arrows HQ in Leafield, England, where its technical director is expected to be former Arrows engineer Mark Preston. The team will use Honda's new-for-2006 V8 engine and Bridgestone tires.
The new entrant faces a tough challenge to make the starting grid in 2006: Suzuki guessed wrongly the FIA would rescind the rule stipulating teams must own the intellectual property rights to the cars they race, and his original plan to simply buy BAR chassis and rebrand them Super Aguri is no longer viable.
