After 5 years of effort and determination from the team RV3 rocketed into the 5 second zone at the Bahrain International Circuit on Tuesday 12 th November 2019.
After Mondays private testing the car ran a full pass 6.15, which gave us the data on which way to go with the Neal Chance converter, and the main tune up. After a major stator change the car picked up it’s performance massively starting off with a 5.95 @ 260.4mph, which not only gave us the 5 second pass we’d worked so hard for, but knocked the world street legal MPH record out into orbit (previous record was 251.4 mph)! This allowed Shane T to work his magic on the tune up.
We then ran 5.92 @ 262mph, followed by a 5.87 @ 263.7mph, which was backed up by all the numbers previously to cement the mph record even further, and to be within .025 sec of the ET record held by Jeff Lutz. With one day left of the tour we started off with an aborted run, then followed that with a 5.89 @ 257mph. On this pass the transmission planetaries (gears) started to fail, curbing any more efforts towards the ET record.
