In the meantime I have a flash from abroad that should remove the torque limiter in the gearbox, which should take it over 1,000Nm and the speed limiter which I hit at 328 km/h indicated. I am now preparing the car for a real top speed run in Germany. I will be checking:
- Max speed allowed on the Michelin Pilot Supersports. (350 km/h for sure)
- Filling them with nitrogen rather than just air.
- Discussing the right tire pressure front and rear.
- Having tires removed for internal inspection.
- Filling up with Aral 102 Octane for max power.
- Calculating the down force on the car in kg.
Since I am expecting a top speed in excess of 220 mph indicated I really need to take this extremely serious. The car is very heavy and the tires have to take all this load and heat. I don't want to have a blow out. If I have the slightest concern during the run I will stop.
So keep looking out for the video, v-box and photo material I hope to post after June 29.

Excellent! You are awesome man! I can't wait for you to get down to Germany and put everything to the test!
