    Hmm, not sure. My first impression was that it was the Minardi of 2/3 years ago.

    The "blue exhaust" is likely not a product of combustion. Assuming it is similar to a top fuel dragster (one of the few race engines that can compare wow factors with F1) it is actually "hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases"

    I copied that last bit from this top fuel thing that has floated around the internet:

    Racecar Engineering magazine had a similar article (Nov '04 I think). Fascinating stuff.

    Perhaps a taste of the future....

    Not a lot to see there unfortunately, and I guess the noise may be muted somewhat by being behind the glass window of the dyno room, but the figures are certainly pretty darned impressive!!!
