Alan van der Merwe sets a new unofficial Formula 1 speed record while revving up for Bonneville.
B.A.R Honda has unofficially broken the 400kph barrier during its preparations for a Formula One record attempt now scheduled for Bonneville early next year. After rains at the famous Salt Flats in Utah washed out the team's plans to set a new standard in 2005, a final shakedown was organised at the Mojave airbase in California. During this test, Alan van der Merwe, smashed the 400kph mark no fewer than three times.
�The car ran perfectly,� reported Gary Savage. �It was an encouraging day and we are confident that we can achieve this speed and more at Bonneville.�
