Yup. And now your lap times will all seem slow and pathetic. I used to run mid 1:40's in my triple weber Datsun. May not be all that impressive to some, but for reference, this was years before they removed the back straight hump, and fixed the nasty potholes in turn 5a and b. (sorry for the Datsun remark folks but I've had them for 25 yrs and did a lot of track events throughout the 90's and I'm sort of new to P cars now.)

Hey, my first car was a '71 240Z.

Anyway, this is impressive.

That flagging station at 10 looks a little out of place, now.

Christien,
The King Richard Petty f#%k up in T2 years ago.
Let alone many, many.
My old F4 ( sold it ) had a battle scare from the tire wall in 2, drivers right.
So what about T5 ? Mosses. Any pics on that ?
