ZR1@ Nurburgring

I'm sure this is a .... but it's a worthwhile one, I think he could have gotten a little more in that last straight away.

Amazing car. Great driving, but I agree he seemed to let up in the last straight section. However 7 minutes and 26.4 seconds on street tires is a fantastic time.

That was a GM engineer driving also. An professional race driver (I don't remember his name) drove the car a few months later and knocked 2 more seconds off that time.

I grinned at the part where he came into a corner too fast and he broke traction. After correcting, you see him hit the steering wheel with his right hand like he was saying "dammit!"
