Re: ZONDA F Lap Record

very nice video, looks like he had a great time... i bet if they ran a few more times, he would get a beter time... probably around the 1:17 mark.

NICE!

Actually the Stig practices before they actually record the video... so he does get a few shot at it. I dont' remember which car he spent all morning practicing because it was so hard to drive. I think it might have been the CGT.

The body is fibre glass and the panel molds especially around the doors are atrocious, aerodynamics is key for a car of this callibour. I'm even doubting the car was designed in a wind tunnel as they only plan to sell ~60 at 198.000 Euros each. Essentially all this car is (at least to me) is a tube frame fibre glass shell slammed to the ground with a whored engine.

But it's still pretty fast and... almost 200k. Btw, I was thinking price tag.

It's gotta be the closest you get to a F1 car.
