The Ford GT managed 6 min 15 seconds where most would be lucky to manage a 7 min lap on the 12.9 mile track in Germany
The New street legal 800hp Mustang GTD produced a 6 min 41 seconds beating most hyper cars never mind the new rear engine corvette.

Thought you gear heads would enjoy this.

  The car for sure, but the driver has to be in top racing condition (mental and physical) and intestinal fortitude to pull that off!

I am a GEARHEAD and former SCCA Racer and that was spell binding!!! The car is fantastic, BUT did you notice the "deep breath" from the driver at the end of the run? WOW!!!

  The first video I saw was with two GT 40s and they showed the Killometer. hitting 300 on the shorter straights and minimal curved areas but he did hit over 315 briefly on the long straight just before breaking for that first turn near the end.
  That's 200 mph, The mustang GTD also hit's over 300 KLH

First, you could see the EFFORT to hold the steering wheel.

Second, the next statement will PROVE I am not a gearhead or a car guy...

But that was the loudest EV I've ever heard! (jk)

  The only electric motors in that car are the motors running the radiator fans

Nice ride, but part of those old time driving skills included a clutch. :)
