That's seriously impressive - it's longer than BTG by at least 20 seconds, fastest i've been around in was with SiB in his 575hp EVO which we did in 8:09 BTG!

Amazing dirving and the car is really well setup,
are those the official start and stop points for timing a lap,

If so then I wonder how the bridge to bridge timing would be ??

he does have a full speed flying start based on that footage mind you but something to compare. Whats a rolling start worth 10 -15 sec at that speed?
