ITALIAN ASPIRANT
According to an American contemporary, it is possible that a chassis may be built at the Fiat works to take a 1,000 h.p. Italian aero engine for an attempt on the 200 miles an hour record at Daytona Beach, TJ.S.A, next February. It is suggested that the driver should be Major Bernardi, the crack aircraft pilot, who established a speed of 318.6 mile an hour in a seaplane recently. It is stated also, that the ill-fated Stutz Special (in which Lockhart was killed) is to be rebuilt and that Ray Keech (the present record-holder) has the building of a front-drive record-breaker under consideration.
