Jesus, 308 kph through Bergwerk, didn't even use the water catchment strip on the Karrussel, and it was bouncing off the rev limiter on the straightaway at 368 kph.  :golfclap:

Meh. No other unlimited racecar has done it in 30 years, so the record wasn't really up to date anyway.

It's like watching the sped up segments of Benny Hill. I can't believe that's real!

Yeah. Great example of why racing line is super important, since there's no time to correct at that speed on that track.

I just want to see other unlimited racecars run it and see what they can do. I'm sure others can go at least the same speed.

In 1975 Niki Lauda broke the 7 minute barrier when the configuration was almost 2 miles longer. I'd love to see a current F1 car do the run.
