The new v12 Ice-Bat is faster and handles better than the v11. That’s the good news. The annoying news is that despite the extra thrust, the top speed is only marginally better. Peter Haan clocked 42.7s for a flying lap. The magic 40s benchmark comes ever closer!

Fortunately the challenge is not just about ultimate speed, it is also very much about racing and that is why we have more than one Ice-Bat. The bookings for demonstrations are going well and so are the plans for an Open Championship in March (details to follow). See you there?
