Under 7 seconds to do 20.8km, that must be many times the speed of sound! Simply amazing when you realize how many corners were involved :P

Seriously tho, was that on road car tyres???

Yeah must have been on slicks...
But then i thought production cars are supposed to use the tyres they come with..?
I know there was big emphasis on this regarding the R35 GTR.


X-Rad- I think the road would be too bumpy for an F1 car...not sure if its been done though.

Yes, but it's not a street legal production car. It's a rich man toy like the FXX a few years back. Think Le Mans car and you will be closer to the truth.

Mats, you are clearly wrong. Of course that's a road car, it has 2 vents and 2 seats. Road car! :P

Other things that give it away are the road car under trays, the road car full roll cage and the road car slick tyres.

See, road car............... :wall: :P
