Vmax peak 99.5 km/h.
No one yet 100 km/h. Another magical barrier ... Now, it is waiting till Saturday, when a similar day like today is forecasted. Bjorn will get some time to practise and to get used to the canal.

Hello,
Looking at the official website, I understand that BD has reached 49,53 knots after only two runs. I guess that the battle with AA will be great if weather conditions remain like this and that the 100 km/h barrier will be broken. Cheers Philippe |

So it has happened.
Yesterday, AA also broke the 100km/h barrier, i.e. in VMAX.
