F1 test driver Marc Gene took a 2003 chassis (Schumacher) v10 around Road Atlanta at speed - just posted yesterday. Average speed 149.9 mph and a new track record of 1 minute and 1 second. Allot of us who call RA our home track have wondered what was possible in the past - finally we know for certain. Enjoy.

Awesome! Thx for posting Tony.
MS in his prime in qualifying setup probably find another 3-4 seconds. |

Who knows but it is hard to believe that much time is left on a lap that is already run at full throttle, mostly. The braking points were deep as well...I'd like to see what Hamilton could do in a current wide body chassis. What a treat to even see this in action at this level.
I was just watching it again...for anyone who has driven RA this lap is breathtaking! His speed and transition to T1 is STUPID! A 991 GT3R would be off throttle a good 150 feet prior to the end of the concrete pit wall. Amazing commitment and technology on display! T QUOTE(bulitt @ Mar 18 2018, 06:58 PM)  Awesome!
