Well done gentlemen! How much longer can Top Gear turn a blind eye?

[San Diego GTR]

Really an amazing accomplishment. Congrats Ted & Richard for a job well done. If there ever were any doubters, this should fix it.

I just wish I had the courage to push the car as hard as Ted.

well it will be great if they did, but you can hear the excuses already...

It won because you removed the front seat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schui did not know the track as well as Stig!!!!!!!!!

God makes my blood boil...... come on boys get it in all the mags... Autocar.....Autosport.......topgear magazine........Sunday Times motoring......

Absolutely brilliant....Well done........

Dom

PS..... if you want a contact at Autosport...... i take their photos sometimes..... and know the editor.....Hint Hint..

[GTWayne]

Well done Marlows , yet MORE bragging material for the armchair/would be owners among us

[d3vine]

Furthermore, this beat the Caparo T1's record. I can't wait to hear what the naysayers have to say...
Ultima Sports just need to conquer one more record, the Nurburgring!!!

Quote from the article:

"Previous testing has shown that we can also take the Nurburgring lap record with a road legal lap time somewhere in the region of 6mins30secs which sure is tempting to prove someday although there are no plans set as yet......"

Well done!

[Rusti Evo]

Difficult to overstate how astounding that record time is..

Truly fantastic effort Ultima Factory..

What was changed from last time? Was it on slicks?

[60mph]

I'm fussy but that was defo 10 out of 10 . well done .

Frank

[738 driver]

Congrats Gents.

[spatz]

yes this is my question too, a more track based setup did this include slicks ?
And what suspension was installed the regular one or the rose jointed ? Standard INTRAX shocks ?

Great news and congratulations to all at the factory.

I imagine that the car was rose jointed and ran with road legal tyres.

The seat looks to still be there, its a mounting plate sitting in the seat that is holding the data logging equipment, or thats what it looks like to me.
