Praise be to the crazy goons at Opel, who’ve been hooning around the ‘ring in the new Corsa OPC (VXR to us, mind) and have become record breakers.
The pint-sized manic mini broke the record for superminis around the famous track by lapping it in a (slightly scary) 8mins 47.99seconds.
The 192bhp hatch was piloted by Manuel Reuter, an ex-Opel works driver.
Is it us, or has that given the Corsa a little more credibility?
