This is more to Sascha; could we get an explanation of the maiden run of the new Green Monster/Green Fighter IV? It appears in the video it wasn't truly full throttle? maybe I'm inaccurate in that statement? very cool piece of machinery! I love the Enginuity that goes into the modified pulling over on your side of the pond.
Finally home and the video work done...
The new Green Fighter had a "stupid" error in the geometry of the butterfly linkage. Basically the angles of the throttle and the arm on the butterfly shaft equaled each other out.
Didn't show up stationary, but as soon as there was vacuum pulling on the butterfly it became impossible to open it any further. Only 13 psi boost - oh well.
Here is a collection of video clips from the weekend:

Sascha, do you have a rough idea of how much boost they are aiming for with this setup? thank you for all the amazing content and your perspectives from overseas! I always look forward to reading your post!
