The piece has a bunch of claimed times for Z51 Stingray through ZR1. |
Very interesting article. At least to me it showed they did try multiple times to get C7 times. That was always my thing, is how many times they went back with the C6 and got new times why didn't they try with the C7. They did we just didn't know about it.
I do think a few of things he mentioned kind of put a damper on ring times though. especially when they got a clean recorded lap, but because it didn't beat the porche time they didn't want to release it.
