Cool! Wasn't supposed to be until next year (and at the Boliva salt flats not a French airport).

Its not what I said either :dry: The link I posted from this summer said it was all supposed to happen next year at the Boliva salt flats and NOT at a french airport. Wonder if they will still travel to Bolivia next year and go for more. Was the airport run just testing for the salt or is this as far as they'll go w/ covid travel issues.

They said they were going to go after more records, but they didn't say where. I would think that pavement would be easier to get up to speed than salt flats? Maybe safer too? At those speeds though, kinda irrelevant I guess as if you crash on either one, you are road or salt pizza!
