That clinches it. An F1 car is definately quicker than my 1.7.

Awesome footage - thanks for posting!

Ok,
I have video as well, but not quite as nice. The burnouts were especially fun.

We were there and saw it - fantastic!

Having driven this track, I can say that the speed at which he can take some of those turns (esp 5, 6, & 10) is just shocking.

Imagine if one of the top teams teams (and drivers) were to go after this...there might be another second or two taken off.

Sammy, it was great to meet you in the booth...my wife loves the bag. When I saw the car on track it wasn't the speed that surprised me as much as the braking....I could not believe how late he braked for turn one and how fast he came down to cornering speed...un beliveable....must be a hellova set of electric trains.....
