The data we got I think has been largely lost though there are some articles about it on Mulsannes corner and Racecar Engineering I think

apparently the speeds we have from 1996 up to 1998 are from the approach to indianapolis. also some older, but still post-1990 group c speeds were measured there and some of them are extremely high (i recall 366 km/h for a 962 in 1990, which also hit 354 in the race, also 363 km/h for mercedes c11 in practice).
