McLaren, Ferrari, Benetton, Williams and Jordan got the same topspeed in Qualifying. Because of the different aerodynamic of the cars they need more or less hp to reach their speed. Williams used a RS9 engine with slighty less hp compared to Benetton. Lutz -- Home: http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/8059 26.40, 25.80 :-) Mujibur & Sirajul coast to coast tour '94 - very nice :-)
