The removal of technology designed to reduce emissions from vehicles - such as catalytic converters - will also be banned.

They will run the car for five seconds while the engine idles and for another five seconds when the engine speed is increased to half its maximum - about 2,500 revs per minute.

5000rpm is a pretty low redline...


I bet 2500 isn't half the maximum revs of the XTR2

"Keeping their vehicles well maintained is one of the steps that vehicle owners can do to ensure they lower their CO2 emissions and ensure that emissions of other harmful substances are also reduced."

I'm surprised they didn't say that keeping a car in the garage, rather than on the road, was a good way to reduce emissions.

So they want less CO2. Does that mean they are encouraging incomplete combustion?
