I’ll ask, any comparison against the GT or you guys weren’t pushing it?

The owner just brought it to show, it wasn’t on track for the hot lap rides. He also supplied a few other cars and driver’s for the event.
The McLaren (there were 2 actually) for the hot lap rides...Scott Goodyear drove the McLaren 12C GT all day giving hot laps... the ZR1 was as fast as the McLaren on the back straight (though I don’t know how hard Scott pushed it)... in the corners he was quicker, but he’s a pro driver so it’s really no comparison. None of us were pushing... we had the public riding along so 8/10ths. But most of us pushed 9/10ths on the back straight �� (a few tried to keep up with the ZR1 and failed).

Gave 30 different people “hot laps” over the day... lots of fun. The 3rd pic down is a 90 year old “grandma” who’s bucket list dream was to do hot laps... so they arranged for Scott Goodyear to take her out on track in the MacLaren... she followed that up with a ride in my ZR1. She could barely see over the dash but had a huge grin on her face the whole time.
