Warp Speed
Little bit bored, pottering around on the internet and came across this. Absolutely outstanding piece of driving. Genuinely looks sped up (check the people on the right at the beginning of the lap and see what they look like as he whizzes past). Extraordinary. Shocked Bow down

There's a slightly longer version of the video with a short preview as well and you can see the car going through some of the corners, quite unbelievable speed and grip. Shocked Monsieur Le Grenadier

Stunning lap and with a hybrid. Thanks for posting.

Over the next few years lap records will tumble as cars switch to EV. Very exciting times ahead.

yeah its looking that way, TCR is already starting an Electric racing program with the Seat TCR model. TCR is the new FIA regs for touring cars now, Sort of gone back to the days of the 80s and 90s when they were just a road car model etc, so they have gone back to that era to keep the cost down, and bring back racing. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it!

The BTCC are starting to sniff at introducing Hybrids in 2020 maybe even 2021, to me they should revert to TCR regs, due to the cost. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

That sounds very appealing to me.
