Forget the cars, impressive as they are. This is one of the last remaining vestiges today for real drivers to put their lives on the line and prove their worth and bravery for nothing but the sake of being alive on the limit.

You could argue there's a ford focus somewhere in a town centre cutting closer to the line between life and death but here in a 750hp supercar on a closed circuit just man and machine. It's guilt free, a thing of passion to inspire those who still know or would love to know the feeling in a world where there are few oportunities to feel so alive.

It makes me proud to be a petrol head.

I just hope a very public death doesn't bring it all to an end.

Unfortunately it seems impossible for many to ignore the politics surrounding these attempts and just enjoy them for what they are. They all look good but the footage of the 919 is one of the most spectacular things I've seen and I couldn't care less about the how's and the why's personally.

The 919 footage is amazing and I agree with you that the lap is special. One off lap for the fastest ring time. No problem with that. Now why don't they call it a production car...? Exactly.

Exactly.......what?

Have you actually any idea of the point you are trying to make as you just appear to getting all confused and are either a) questioning why a modified race car wouldn't fall into the road legal production car category or b) incorrectly assuming that I gave the impression that I believe it does, which I didn't.

Now clearly either scenario isn't beyond the realms of possibility as a) you just don't come across as being all that intelligent and b) you have already shown an immeasurable aptitude for injecting points of your own making into the exchange, then dressing them up as if they are somehow my contributions, merely so that you can respond to them in a vein, and let's face it futile, attempt to make yourself feel as if you are gaining the upper hand.

They all try to beat my 1 min 23 seconds time, verified by myself set back in 2013 BC. But they never will, they can rivet new roofs on, tune engines, use F1 rubber, take the paint off, speed up videos and lie all day long if they wish, but they will never beat my time as i am the KING of the green hell.

I did it on a Tricycle..... with the stabilizers removed. Solid rubber tire no less and all this while avoiding a Martian invasion and drinking pop while on snapchat.

This must be true fact of course, as its now been posted on youtube.

Ring times? ...
