Good find, holy crap a full 7 secs quicker than the rest?!?!?!? One tiny problem, they said you pay 1 Mil pounds and NEVER take delivery!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!?! Why would ANYONE do that? For that price and limited seat time I am sure you could get time in a REAL F1 car - that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

A recent episode we will be waiting several years to see in the US You can tell right away its gonna be the top, after seeing the Zonda lap he other day, even my wife was amazed at the ferarri. 7 seconds...that IS truely amazing!

Tiny problem? Yeah, I would guess this is not your only drive though! Did you see how it handled the bump? I think it's better off on the track!

Actually I thought they would have disqualified it because it couldn't clear a speed bump, we never saw them test it. Sticky slicks would have helped many cars on that board knock off a good few seconds off their lap times so its only fair.
