electrical power loss at high revs
Discussion
It's all to do with light, it's frequency and wavelength - as you approach the speed of light, you come closer to matching it's frequency, so your lights appear to get dimmer 
You should only have a problem in 4th and 5th 
I have more trouble with the speed of sound with my precat

I was going for a nice stretch, something to do with cuzza chasing in his Elise and big straight bits opening up in front of me!
I just gave the limiter a wee peck in 1st, 2nd and 3rd on a previous straight and hadnt noticed the dimming then, but I was on full beam and very very focused on the driving.
It was shortly after this on another straight I noticed as opening up whilst on the run. Only happens right up the top end of the revs but before the limiter. Probably happens around 5500-5800RPM at a guess and then returns to normal.
Alternator slip is a possibility but I thought it would have coped OK. Its not really that fast for RPM (well, it never happened on previous cars that rev'd to 8500RPM).
