Default My car crushing lap record on Swedens no 1 track

Just thought I should let you all know that last week I put a pro driver in my car and he crushed the existing R-spec tire lap record with 2.4 seconds on Mantorp Park. Mantorp Park is the reference track in Sweden for quick cars.

The previous record was held by a highly modified 996 GT2 and the record has held up for several years.

All this while boosting about 1.05-1.1 bar moahaha


Over and out!

Slower
So far I've only done a 3 laps at this boost level myself so right now my quickest lap is 4 sec slower!

This pro driver has been a test driver in F1 amongst other things so he's super talented. I hope to get down to ~2 sec from his time in the long run which would still be crazy quick.

Amazing, I hope your car holds the record for a long time. It (and you) deserves it.

Congrats
