Back home reflecting after 2 ½ Months Drama of Delays / Extreme Highs & Lows as previously reported.
FEELING Proud to B part of an amazing KIWI History making Diverse Eclectic Team of Capable / Determined / Resilient / World Wide Motor sport / Enthusiasts. The Team took on Multiple SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBL CHALLENGES. OVERCAME Hundreds of DAUNTING HURDLES. As Expected KIWI CAN DO Resilience & Engineering was the HISTORY making WINNER.
The OUTRAGEOUS CMR programme of 4 LSR Cars proved NZ CMR LSR Talent in that in the final last ditch reduced 2 ½ Day FIA Event
WAIRUA 1 – Breaking FIA Record on 1st test run on low power went 316 Mph Breaking FIA on a record of 254 Mph.
COOKIE – Set New FIA 2 Litre N/A LSR record of 184 Mph.
MINI / ISSIGONIS – Original 1959 Shell. 998cc / Fastest Mini in the World 172 Mph.
WAIRUA 2 – 1st Initial Test run Showed Amazing Aero potential on VVVV low power 500 Kph 310 Mph. No other streamliner has showed this kind of potential on 1st Run, 2nd & final test run with 40 % power showed design of F W D design will work in the future.
Had to abort this run due to an electric sensor malfunction at 300+ Mph. Easy to drive / Tracks Straight. SADLY – Due to safety issues no more time for runs to Chase 500 Mph
POSITIVE’s
The TEAM Proved beyond doubt Everything & Anything is possible when KIWI CAN DO / No 8 wire Mentality / Never Give Up mentality / Raw Passion / Team Work PREVAIL’S. I do not want to go on about what CMR & Extended team achieved against all Odds.
Except to say
Thanks to all the Huge Number of Varied Supporters over the last few years
To Go with KIWI CAN DO
Goes another saying.
NEVER say NEVER
Cheers
