I was there, it was loud, had to leave the comfort of the pub, to walk upto Wierscheifen and watch though

 

[Day]

I've got a decent video clip I took of it coming down that section, I'll post it later tonight

[Nigel]

What was his laptime?

 

[Phill1978]

7.04 but he wasnt even trying to be fair and the car was nutered down rather than full track prep.

 

[Steviant]

He looked on it from where I was standing. :approve:

 

[Phill1978]

nice pics ! i need to go there someday.
the fastest road approved car (uk only) Radical SR3 turbo with 350bhp and 500kg did a 6.55 lap
the f1 is about same weight ? but has over 700bhp and amazing setup,tyres,dynamics,driver and did a 7.04.

the f1 wasnt running anywhere near its potencial. they should be into the low 6`s perhaps high 5`s ??

Heidfeld was doing the GP circuit as well. The Radical only did the 12.9miles.

 

[Phill1978]

ahh right, cheers.

 

[Tom]

And it was an 8.40 not a 7.04 (inc the f1 circuit)

Plus he was being held up by a camera truck to do photos

 

[Phill1978]

hence my point its not a full representation of what it can acheive

 

[Steviant]

hence my point I don't have a clue what I'm talking about

Indeed.

F1's are not built for the ring.

Even with a softer setup you could never get potential, something would break.
Read what nick said about the bumpy sections. its practically undriveable at full tilt.
