Re: Why doesn't anyone ever attempt to break Rare Bear's speed record?
Historically speaking, no other racer has ever gone as fast on the course in a heat race as Dago did in 2003. Dago didn't use all of its potential that year and had more left.
Qualifying at a speed is one thing; completing an entire race at a sustained speed is another and says more about the reliability of the systems and aircraft.
