    A road legal unmodded AMG ONE has done 1:56 and a normal LMP2 car has done 1:44.

    Very impressive and a great driver. I wonder what a pro driver could get out of it. Seemed like there was a bit more in it. Crazy car and such a fast time. I would have been in the wall before the second turn. on the outlap.

    Whats the point of all those ridiculously large spoilers if you’re just going to cruise through the corners? You’re cutting top end speed and not make up for it through the corners.
