My comments don’t imply that they didn’t mention it, my comments reiterate it as part of why this article reads like a puff piece. The catch when it comes to stuff like this is always in tiny details like runouts, special tires, weirdly specific records that move the goal post from what you’d expect. It all ends up sounding like a bunch of nits from the outside, but again, under 4 seconds separate the that F1 run from the 30+ cars that did it faster (ironically a 911 GT3 has the fastest hot lap) Honestly to me the title alone is the biggest hint. It sounds kind of insane to say this, but there is nothing truly special about a car being faster than an F1 on that track, it’s much more about the driver, and to me that’s what would impress (but wouldn’t let you right an advertisement for Unplugged...). In fact, you can watch the original F1 run separately and see that in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcRY15toko0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcRY15toko0 To the untrained eye sliding = pushing it, but if you look closer, you can clearly see they were not pushing it. Especially by Best Motoring standards. And who can blame them? Damp track, skinny tires, irreplaceable car, on a track with an unforgiving layout Many other cars in the price range of their modded Model 3 could have beat that lap (for reference, their front brake kit alone is almost 10k. All their aero upgrades and body mods also cost well over 10k in total, they also have a 15k wheel package for sale...) > And I'm pretty skeptical that the (yes rare) road version of the F1 had no differences from the track version, but your comments didn't mention any, as if there were none. Which made me think your presentation of the facts is tilted beyond what's warranted. Also don’t know what this is supposed to be saying. The F1 and the F1 GTR were immensely different cars, and the F1 GTR was obviously not what set that record. I haven’t brought up the GTR (which would be the “track version”) at any point, so why would I bring up the differences?
