I'm at Mid-Ohio. It's not a F1 car but an older Indy car. 1:29 is not too impressive as I did a 1:41 with a track prepared street Cayman S. The owner of the car also brought a Rothman livery 962. He was in my sights but I was out on cold tires.

Thing sounded amazing on Friday....at 1.29 he would have <only> had 24 sec/lap on my Mini

Of course, I don't think Dario was driving it, either

According to Wikipedia, the lap record is a 1:05.3 courtesy of Dario Franchitti in 1999 (CART).

Tried to find you today ~ In the upper paddock beside Andy and Chris.

Sorry guys, my BAD - good thing my son will be with tomorrow to set me straight

Talked to the guys in garage 8 and they said he is a retired driver who doesn't want to compete anymore, but still likes to get out and have fun I thought it was amazing that you could hear him no matter where he was on the track and most of Mid Ohio came to a standstill while he was out.
