    Default Think you are a track God...?

    Maybe this is old news (sorry if it is), but this short video really puts perspective on the relative speed between one of us on the track and an F1 car. The difference is so astonishing, that I'm not sure I believe it...

    The GT series that have been on lately (late at night) are awesome! Nothing like seeing Ford Gts, Maserrattis, Lambos, GT-Rs, Aston-Martins, and the Vettes going at it without having to be "Gentlemen".
    I use to worry about money; but then realized I don't HAVE anything to worry about.

    DTM is pretty good, too, for a 2-marque series. But I still think BTCC is the best...

    Even though I knew the speeds F1 hit, it is startling to see the comparison in the video. Very cool.

    I found what I was looking for.

    Race lap times 2010:

    F1 - 1:49

    GT3 - 2:23

    Length 7.004 km (4.352 mi)
    Turns 21
    Lap record 1:47.263 (Germany Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull Racing, 2009)
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    With up to 18,000 RPMs to play with, there better be a differential... :) Enjoy
