For anyone who has wondered how fast an F1 car can actually go it seems we're soon gonna find out. I can't wait to see the results.

Honda makes a PR move boasting its cars are the fastest while Gm struggles to give out its cars for free. Interesting ...

Cooool

I wonder if they're gonna change the gearing on it...? F1 cars aren't geared for high speed.

^^ they change the gearing almost every track, in order to use the best gearing for that track, so changing out the gearing for an optimum high speed run won't be a problem once they do the math and make a few runs.
