    • Description

      In November 2004, ESA's Technology Transfer Programme sponsored a race car that broke the world speed record for clean cars, suing liqufied propane gas instead of petrol: 315 km/hour.
      This Exchange tells the story of how this record was achieved, including filming at the Monza race track inside the car.
      The shot list is posted under http://television.esa.int/photos/EbS48027.pdf
      This is the shot list of the short EBS version.
      The Euronews tape lasts for 31min with same story plus additional images.
