Another alternative VMax venue ....

So Craig, when are we going to VW's Ehra Leissen facility as featured on Top Gear?

That five mile straight complete with 120mph banking leading to it should keep everyone happy.

Mind you, it'll be a long drive back to the ratburger emporium.

I wondered who was gonna be first on this & i thought it would be one of the pork boys

Gets my vote, it would be nice to actually achieve VMAX at the venue......

No, I'm sure that if you manage V.Max on the way to Brunters you'll manage just as well on the way to Liessen

I was thinking about this the other when i saw the topspeed challenge video on racingflix.It took place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on a really straight bit of public road. It reminded me of HSV(Australian manfuracture) setting the record for the fastest ute. They did it in an army base in the out back in Australia. There would be heaps of private bits of road all over the world that could be closed of and used for Vmax attempts. I bet there would be heaps in the Middle East that would be suitable. Konninsegg(spelling) would probably pay a pretty penny to use it.

cheers

Called
The Texas Mile.
