Lap record according to who? Seems like everyone tries to keep their own record database. What is the record?

I think Jason Hart has the COTA record for a street car in the P1 at 2:15 or so.

McLaren's customer engagement is pretty unique - I was asked to participate in their future car development program by having a 2 hour filmed interview on my view on cars.

Including going for a drive together - maybe they'll bring something special along!

I certainly agree with this

P1 is fast, but not that fast

Cup car is a pure race car and will run circles around any street cars

My memory isn't great, but I seem to remember in the first years of CoTA being around that the cup cars were running 2:17-18. Did the cars get faster, the drivers or both? Those were 997.2's
