Finally they got to do this with the GT2 RS (with Michelin Cup R tires).

ah the end said it all, i just could not imagine this car being faster than those Audi R10 LMP1 cars of a few years ago ..

fastest lap by a production car makes more sense.

Forgot to mention that its production car category.

Lap record is held by the R10 TDI, mind boggling.

THE REFINERY

Amazing to set the record without having driven at Mosport before

The car is amazing and fast.

Greg you and I were there watching the R10 TDIs when they set the record. , they were whipping around that track in about a minute, and quiet as a mouse too.

1967 Canadian F1 GP at Mosport


Lotus drivers Jim Clark and Graham Hill were fastest in qualifying in the new Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 powered 49s and they shared the front row of the grid with World Championship leader Denny Hulme, driving a Brabham BT24-Repco. Clark captured pole position with a time of 1m22.4.

To bad he did not drive the 3RS

Yes we were there, 1:04

I think though 1:22 is not the fastest that car can lap CTMP, I think he over braked 1,3 9 and 10. 2 could have entered a bit quicker but not that far off. Coming out of 5 it dipped down to 80 kph seemed to me about 10 kph too slow.

i can see it now " dude get out of that car and give me your helmet... "

Getting the exit of 5 correctly... yes, in my old 7.GT2, I hit 166mph at the end of that straight, just getting that corner (5) exit correctly is worth 2 seconds. Being slow between 5a and 5b is quicker, than the perceived exit speed of 5c, need to exit on the throttle.
