It's crazy that it beat a 35 yr old record by almost a full minute. It is fun to watch these ridiculous cars do ridiculous things! VW pikes peak was another.

If any of you have been there you'll know how ridiculous this record is. I had a fast passenger lap in a 997 GT3 RS and it was still well over eight minutes.

Over 200mph through the Fuchsröhle is what amazed me.

I've been round in a slick-shod Radical but that was made to feel pedestrian compared to the Porsche lap.

I was reading today, that it is expected the Aston Martin Valkyrie and AMG One should both be able to eclipse this. And they are technically cars you can buy for the road.
