What would your 2-11 do?

Remember that is a full lap, not bridge to gantry.
If I could do sub 8 btg, then I'm sure a driver that knows the ring could do a full lap in the same time.

The v6 cups are kicking the 211 arse in lotus cup.

KTM x- bow R time looks impressive :roll:

I spotted that, just further confirms how pish they are :damnfunny

Cat R500 not mega quick but most definitely hampered by 150mph top speed and noticeable drop-off in acceleration above about 120.

There is supposed to be a 20 sec difference between BTG and a full lap, obviously this varies greatly on the speed of the car, but sport Auto did it with the M3 and the difference was 20 seconds.

Im with scotty, if donkey kong can get round there sub 8 in a go kart... ;-)

Would have been good to have seen a Veyron on there.
