<b>History:</b><br>
In 1954, the French aeronautical turbine manufacturer, Turbomeca, proposed that Renault make a gas turbine car to display the technology's benefits and try to break the speed record for gas turbine vehicles.<br>
<br>
After two years of development in wind tunnel, the result was the Renault Étoile Filante (Shooting Star).<br>
<br>
The Renault Team went to the Bonneville Slats Flats to set the speed record and managed to reach an average speed of 307.707 kph (191.2 mph) for the 1 Miles record and 306.902 kph (190.7 mph) for the 1 Km record.<br>

During more testing at Bonneville the car reached a speed of 322kph, but those speed were not homologated for speed records.<br>

The Etoile Filante is powered by a turboshaft, Turbomeca Turmo 1, gas turbine producing 270hp.<br>
The compressor turbine will idle at 10.000rpm and has maximum rpm of 35.000rpm. The power turbine will reach ~28.000rpm at max speed.<br>
The power turbine is bolted to a reducing gear lowering the 28.000rpm to 2500rpm.<br>

<b>How to drive:</b><br>
<br>
Very simple, select 1st gear and press the throttle. You don't need to use the clutch.<br>
The compressor will take a while to reach 35.000rpm and produce max power. It's not a race car but If you want to be faster on track, you can left brake while slightly pressing the throttle to keep the compressor spooled.<br>
<br>
Hope you enjoy <br>
