Paint sponsorship a fine stroke
Paint manufacturer AWLGRIP is sponsoring the latest world water speed record attempt by Nigel MacknightThe attempt is due to take to place in January 2008 in the UK. After several years in development, the 12.8m prototype Quicksilver was unveiled in Birmingham in April.
With a 25,000hp Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engine, Quicksilver will deliver more power than an entire grid of Formula 1 cars at full throttle. The current record was set in Australia at more than 511km/h and has stood for nearly 30 years.
AWLGRIP has provided AWLCRAFT 2000 technology, which will allow the team to buff out any surface imperfections and provide the ultimate smoothness and shine, reducing wind and water resistance.
