Awesome!!!

[Turf1600]

It's amazing how much ground you can cover going 175 mph

That was impressive though

[E30SPDFRK]

Where are all the other cars?

[deutschman]

WOW! nice time! was that faster then the zonda and the new Nissan GTR?

Where are all the other cars?

they close the track down for runs like this.

[ZM Blue Devil]

who the heck is the driver? That is awesome!

[JGood]

I'd like to know why he can hit 170 around 1:20 so easy (with all the corners), but can only do 175 on the straight (around 7:00, on the HUGE straight). I know nothing about the track, maybe there is a good reason... it just seems something is not quite kosher there.

[Miasma]

Very cool video!

Yeah I was watching the clip and waiting for the long straight to see if he'll do close to 200. Seems like it wouldn't go past 176-178 as if it was limited... but we don't know the details..

[BobombETA]

WOW!


That is an impressive car with some impressive driving!


It's funny how much of that track I still have memorized from Forza. :D

[Vedubin01]

OMG! I would love to see an outside view of that car. There is not much effort from the driver with that car and it is a bit tail happy. Thats amazing!

i noticed that too. i looked in the comments section of that site and someone commented "only hit 179 on the long straight past the castle, guess the strong headwind claim is pretty legit."

so i guess the strong headwind is to blame.

[Danny]

Did he get air a couple of times or is that just me?

If you continue reading the comments they say there was a large headwind on the straight.

[Raxe]

Wicked fast, can't wait to see what the Spec V GTR will do.
