Nor have I! Awesome!

I could corner quick when I did it but there was no way I was winding it up that much over blind crests! Scary stuff!

And 7 min 32 was BTG - add approx 25 secs for a full lap gives 7:57 - virtually identical to the spec C, so a saloon car as quick as an R1!!!!!!!

If that's one of Bren laps, cant be bothered to watch it again, then he is pretty useful, although blind as a bat

Come on then who has proof of them doing a lap in a standard Subaru anywhere near that time? Video proof only please

I cant get near that time. Didn't do many laps in the scoob. The quickest video lap is 8 mins 22 from memory. That would equate to around 8.45-8.50 for a full lap. So nothing to write home about.

Plenty of quicker boys out there than me........

Come on then, lets see those video laps

9 mins something for me - RB5 at the ring - Google Video

Though it was my first time there, i got held up by an F1 car going flat out, it wasn't a closed track lap, the tyres were cold, the knocklink flashed, the track was damp, it wasn't making full boost, it needed a re-map, the geometry wasn't right, I was suffering boost creep, i never had my driving gloves on, my baseball cap blew off, 3 of the wheels had punctures and I was actually asleep at the time.

Default standard ????

i bet that spec c isent a standard car check it out up the finishing straight its doing about 153 mph and thats up hill thats impressive if its a standard spec c with no sneaky modifications ..............

like most of the times round the ring the vehicles are modified and give a false impression of how good the vehicles are .

not sure of the time the bmw motocycle lapped the ring but it was fast
when a few owners have tried to get any where near the lap time there isent a hope in hell of matching the time not without modified forks and brakes at the very least , dont be taken in by the hype ..... that spec c looks good though i must admit .
