Great video.

Yea, you really get a sense of the money it takes to get there. Interesting seeing the various countries rep'd in the crew.

The lead turbine mechanic has the aire about him that he was recently in the US military working on black hawks or something of the sort. Coincidence?

"New"??? I think they have pretty much been dominating at the highest level for some time.

That would be Jim at PPS. He has been building turbines for years!!!
He has assisted several race teams and helped clean up after some of the other turbine builders.
If your running Turbines he is without question the guy to have on speed dial!
