204 MPH Tether Car Run in 2007

[cobefoos]

the cars are only a ft or 2 long and the run on a small amount of diesel or gas, that is why they dont run very long

i don't really understand the dynamics of tether... who or what turns the car?? with a long (1km or so) straight, a great controller (BIG wave radius) and perfect surface, this "cars" could reach over 400kph/250mph

@die996 i guess they could but you would need a perfectly straight surface but making sure it doesnt wander off would be a challenge after a while and at those speeds if you turn just a bit to much you will slide or flip but if they were to get it perfect then yes they could most likely go way beyond the 400kph mark
