1913-1931
Following just 12 races over a span of 18 years, since 1913, the average speed rose by a factor of 7!
To put this into context, had the rate of development have continued, as witnessed during these races, then the Red Bull Racers would be today flying at speeds of 2432mph. As things stand they operate a top speed of around 260 mph.
The book never happened but we still have the data.
