The BAR-Honda team will run one of its Formula One cars at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

The drag from uncovered wheels must be huge. Can't imagine it will break 250.

put some taller gears, and some skinnies all the way around. 300 here we come.

that car is going to be trashed from the salt once the runs are over - hope it is an old chassis

KMak

little OT, but curious

does honda actually own BAR (as in they design the chassis and provide the driveline) or do they only provide the driveline and BAR is a independent team?

sorry haven't followed F1 for a LONG time

Right now it's a partnership, but Honda is planning on buying out BAR and making it a Honda factory team for next year's F1 season.

I'm too lazy to look, but check www.f1.com for all the news.

They currently own 45% of BAR, however many believe they will buy the team outright in the near future.

Urge

If they do buy they other 55%, I hope they stop calling it BAR..

They need to fire Nick Fry and go back to Prodrive. They went from 2nd to dead last in the constructors championship. Prodrive took on the Aston Martin GT car and are doing quite well. They won Sebring in its first outing and had a good run at lemans..

Dead last, with a lot of bad luck.

Prodrive aren't gods, for example they have consistently f***ed up in V8 Supercars. Despite saying they would ignore the regulations and build their own "super" engines. For now the factory FPR/Prodrive team is a joke.
