The venue was the Paul Ricard circuit.


Rocket trike attached to the start position.


The signal lights up ... ...


Started vigorously. The driver has a slight chin up at the start of the momentum.


The speed reached 97 km / h at the time it got to the point where the car stopped around the signal.


The maximum speed was 261 km recorded. The Hokuriku Shinkansen and the Hokkaido Shinkansen are about the same speed because the maximum speed is 260 km.

In the record, the time taken for the first 60 feet (18.288 m) was 0.852 seconds, and from the stopped state to the speed of 100 km / h, the acceleration was only 0.551 seconds.


The maximum speed is 261 km / h as mentioned above.


The body is almost made of tank.


What kind of structure is it ... ...


In short, "a big plastic bottle rocket".
