On the 206 run the only tape was the gap at the Top of the Bumper cos if you dont the bumper bends & breaks its fixings.
However on same run the Indicator, Fixings & spring all blew away, so maybe a bit of tape may stop this.
If your car is as aero-dynamic as a barn door not much you can do to improve it or we would try it. Marks theory is if youve got 850bhp it dont matter a F**k what shape it is it will still do 210mph. I HOPE HE IS CORRECT.

It wont run simple as that.
Above 180 is dangerous in the wet, to reach 210 & then stop requires a dry track.

makes sense to let the person with the highest chance(for whatever reason) to do the run so you can do it with the least number of attempts.

less chance of damageing the car and the driver

Tis easy til you actually have to run 200+ in 1.5miles then believe me its scary. I chickened on one run & recorded only 197 just felt wrong & i bailed out. After the 206 run Mark said it was the hairiest thing he had ever done & it was getting very un-safe. I could easily run 200 & with the latest mods pass 205, but that aint fast enough & its its those last few seconds that get really scary. Marks 38 & im 60 why not ask your Dad to do it mate.
