Fantastic news! Anymore details? Remains to be seen in they do the same as Audi and do one Aussie car and one car with factory drivers. Hopefully we see some factory pilots in the mix like Jager and Bernd Schneider.

Whispers from the big hill are just like... WOW!! Independent timekeepers have been keeping an eye on a number of cars out there pedalling hard...

Well.. it seems this car..

.. is doing its level best to burst into the record books...

It has been said that this car, with its Danish pilot, has hit the top of the pops today, time wise. While undergoing a testing a setup development regime, for its first time at the Mountain, and on a set of tyres losing their grip as the laps on them increase, and during the heat of the day...

... allegedly... a mid 2.06 was achieved!!

Still some more set up work to come, as well as a run on brand new rubber. While the sound is apparently an eargasm... as you might expect a high revving Ferrari to be...

Awesome stuff!! Bring on the B12!!!
Gee I had to double check the author of this post to make sure it was GTR and not ffs . Great to see the 458 strutting its stuff and showing off the GT3 potential for laptimes, helps that Simonsen has plenty of laps of the Mt under his belt. Nice to see that Peter Kox is down here. Is he confirmed to race with Scud?
