Does that mean you now have a share in a world record ?
If you like to think it that way. Drag dropped from 0.311 to range 0.28 in CFD calculations and there was not the TuneCovers even on in the simulation.

I think they got best speeds in the morning, ice started to melt after midday and that caused grip broblems at those speeds.

There was 280 kW engine power available so next winter that speed will be bettered. This winter the ice situation was not good and they had to postpone that testing over one month later. During days the temperatures are on the plus side so ice starts to melt...
