Kankkunen is the team to minus 30 degrees Celsius temperature in the 10 km section of the frozen lake, 50 kilometers north of Oulu in western Finland. Kankkunen had to give the team more than 70 cm thick ice, they are about 5 kilometers to take the best rate before the start marked kilometers, where speed is measured. Despite the unmatched power of the grip and traction in the Continental GT continues to wheels for more than 120 miles.

But after a brief review of the team, Continental GT, then this measure kilometers a second time, in accordance with the requirements of the judges, the surprise 205 miles / h (330 km / h). The team has not yet stopped, and the next day to continue if they register for, and they have. They were able to realize the high speed of 206 miles / h (331 km / h). But as the team wanted to find a return to a more severe and the snow track.

After Kankkunen ", in Bentley, with faultless. I was surprised how stable and secure feel in these high speeds, in spite of the ice rink and a rough surface is scattered with snow. He even managed to speed the car up to 600 meters."

"This shows that the spirit of the famous Bentley Boys lives on and continues to be used by drivers of sufficient competence and courage to use the full potential of our cars in extreme conditions, though not, of course, our other owners try to work with such high speeds on a sheet of ice!"

The results of this Bentley Continental GT is a remarkable quality of vehicles, the Volkswagen-flows for each of the components installed in each work of art, as VW VW VW feathers or threads. Each piece will be added carefully selected and checked for quality and durability.

Ferrari shows better at the end of the season

Grand Prix of Spain was a great design Ferrari F1. The car is much faster, but it is too late in the race for the questions, to make changes.

Ferrari, of course, is a symbol for Formula One team "Manchester United" or the New York Yankees F1, if you will. This is not a symbol for many years the team. A poorly designed car, reliability and irregular terrible command decisions led to a humiliating just three points over the year. This implies that all changes to the Grand Prix of Spain. Updates with new design, the Ferrari cars of Felipe Mass and Kimi Raikkonen were in the forefront. Not quite.

The good news is that changes in the design of the car with the Ferrari has improved. The car is much faster and seems to have jumped out the rear window on the front panel. Nevertheless, it still seems to take the maximum speed headcheese GP alone. The car seems to be neck and neck with the Red Bull at the second fastest car on the track.

Thus, Ferrari back in the game world championship? No, the car has improved, but reliability and poor command decisions yet. Kimi Raikkonen bears the brunt of these two agents in Spain. First of all, lost in the last round of qualifying and finishing in the top 16 line-up. Secondly, his car during a race at the front of the DUP at the ninth position.

Felipe Massa also seems strange that the only Ferrari. Not once, twice, but his car was not properly filled fuel during pit stops. This led to a courageous battle for fourth place, which is emitted when it is too slow sharply in the last round until late in the race without fuel. Nevertheless, the sixth since it was also his first points for the season.

Ferrari has improved significantly. There should be a season and plans for 2010. The drivers have 38 points of leader Jenson button in the drivers world championship, and even farther behind in the constructors championship. Now is the time to be realistic and start working on more cars in 2009.
