And a video about the chicane in the race track -- cars can turn right AND left! ;-)

I'm supprised at the fact that many didn't change the rims to something more aero, or do the wheels not make that much of a difference overall?

[NeilBlanchard]

Covering the wheels would have helped the amp'd Sky some -- check the wheels on the RaceAbout.
