They could run it on Bonneville S**t Flats!
XprizeRoadTrip -- Thanks for posting the video linky. In the parlance of Internet "Tuft testing ...like a boss".
I can see that it needs those Bridgestone 19" tires. In the interior shots you can see how stiff it's sprung. It looks stiffer than my Beetle.
The take-away message for me is downwind intakes or upwind exhausts at the widest part of the body for greatest effect. Is that fin in the back articulated? If it was crosswind sensitive, that would be awesome.
