What's happening here?

Two blokes have just changed the front wheels of a Citroen powered streamliner ahead of an economy run at a test track in Germany? ;)

All the things you've said are true, but it needs a little more to earn a point.

This was a fuel economy world record set at the Contidrom test track at Wietze, to the north-east of Hanover, in 1981.

The car achieved a consumption of 1.7 litres/100 km, or approximately 138 mpg.
