Schummi surely is a big factor of that 7secs, but given the background of FXX I believe that car is fully tuned for the track with Schummi's order. Not like other stock car that often don't allow TV station crew to change settings or so.

just watched it, that certainly will be some record to beat.

so is the new lotus your next car to get instead of the elise. clarkson's cmt on the suspension reminds me of mikes m3.
