I'm assuming this is the same lap.

cool car, but not really in the spirit of a street car, you can register anything in GB and then run it on the ring as a street legal vehicle. Still, that's got to be a lot of fun.

Nice piece of driving. Makes the C6 ZO6 time seem pretty impressive as it is only ~30 sec off that pace.

Didja' notice how he got tired 'bout 2/3 way around and stopped over-driving the car. THAT's when he started to go quickly. If he'd run the 2nd 1/2 the same way he did the 1st, bet his time woulda' bin 'bout the same as the Z06 fast time.

Radical announced last year that they were going to build a Le Mans Prototype for the P2 class. VDS plans to race one at Petit Le Mans next month.

Their old Lola was on ebay.

I agree but we had one registered and actually ran in the 2005 One Lap of America.

Seems the state of New Hampshire will put a plate on anything.
