I was able to get the test for this night. Starts after 22 local time. 16 capsels. I hope that results will be about three percentage difference.

Front capsels will be stainless steel versions, but they cover the front wheel nuts so it will represent my version of the capsel in this test.

Yes we will wait until the road is silent.
We will paint lines on the roadside with black paint. There will be road lightning.
First we will start warming up the car and see how steady the results will be. If there is variations like close to 3 percent its not going to be accurate enough. Have to wait better time or place.

Täsmäsää Vantaa - Foreca.fi

after 22 weather should be steadily at -3 celsius degrees. There should be litlle wind about 6m/s. Roads will be frozen and there is no snow which is biggest problem in finland this time of year.

I will have a video camera and reguar camera and my brother to take pictures. Now I just need to make the A4 form.
