The roof air intake is now very small and potentially in an aero dead area. Moreover there is no more holes in the custode (lateral window).
Does it mean that the cooling system is in the front ?

FD rebel is talking about "Laminar air flow" about 3" dead air over body unless it is properly directed

4 minis "as car stands in pits"

An open back "aero type" visor on the top of the windshield will direct air into the top air intake/scoop, the way it is now the intake is in dead air at any thing above 30 making it ineffective.

Positive pressure fuel pumps won't heat the fuel up like recirculating pumps, using return lines of course, this solves 90% of vapor lock situations.

What was the temperature for that day? Hopefully they are testing in high desert temp and for vapor lock issues in altitude.

There is a company in Orlando, FL that makes helicopters running an LS 7. I would think they have their vapor lock issues sorted out. Check them out vertical aviation.

Pretty sad it takes 18 Minis to equal 1 Gordini lol

But don't show off too much. BMW, Mini, and Monster might get nervous. They might field 18 cars this year to keep her down!

But who cares how many cars they enter. Robby brings the story the North American's and South American's want to watch, win or lose.

These shots are cool! Keep'm coming Tog!

It's fun to see the Gordini flying around the familiar Mohave Desert.

Dina (short for Gordini) was wounded out the gate last year. She never showed us much. Bad gas, plus over heating wounded her engine early on.

But this year watch out! She will be The Beast!
