Very nice!!!!

Looks like the skoda is doing well over there atm, spoke to my friend about it this morning and they managed 195mph yesterday in 45deg heat in front of a fan! and car was to hot to touch and fuel lines could cook stuff :ashamed:

They hope for slightly better conditions today and crack the target 200mph

And remember its 1 mile above sea level there also

true, so boosted engines make the same power as normal, but the drag is a lot less
