Formula 1 car on public road does 326kmh

Robin_NL · 08-15-2006, 06:55 PM

Robert Doornbos, Dutch Red Bull F1 testdriver used the public road(called Afsluitdijk, about 20 minutes from where I live) to drive a bit more than 200mph(202)=326kmh in his 900BHP racer.

A friend of mine did there 205mph in a unlimited M5 E60. And the father of a friend of mine there reached 345kmh(214mph) on the scale of his F40 with another exhaust...

The unsprung chassis and the non flat surface was causing the F1 car not to go any faster.

Here is a small clip

How awesome would that be to be driving the other direction and see a F1 car going the other way at over 200mph.

I bet he made sure Alonso wasn't around to brake check him...
