GP2: Racing Engineering to introduce innovative booster system by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
27th Feb 2009

di Frowzy: "Chuffed"
dotdotdotcomma can exclusively reveal that Spanish GP2 squad Racing Engineering will be introducing a radical new booster system to facilitate overtaking without contravening the series's incomprehensibly tortuous technical regulations.

The FartBurner™ system involves feeding the drivers with a revolutionary high-fibre drink prior to a race, the noxious emissions resulting from which are fed through lightweight tubes to the rear of the car, where an ignition system, controlled from a switch on the steering wheel, can light the fumes for an afterburner effect that dotdotdotcomma's technical section believes could be worth up to several extra horsepowers.

According to a source close to the team (but, all things considered, not too close), recent signings Lucas di Frowzy and Dani Gross are both very happy to have been selected to race for the team in 2009 thanks to certain particular talents known to assist with the operation of the system.
