Honda Bonneville 400: Fastest F1 car in the world


If you were able to stay awake last night/this morning for the Korean GP, you may have caught Alan Van Der Merwe test the wet track with the F1 medical car, a throaty, AMG powered station wagon.  Bob Varsha on Speed mentioned that Van Der Merwe had previously set a record on the Bonneville Salt Flats in a Honda F1 car.  I had to look this up.

Here is a video.  The goal for the rear-wingless 2006 Honda RA106 was 400 kph.  They achieved 393.6.  Not bad.
