i seem to remember that one of Eddie Irvine's claims to fame, as that he had lapped Silverstone faster in a FF than Jim Clark in a 1.5lt Lotus. Now that is probably true and a reflection on race car developement over the years. The Lotus having almost exactly twice the power of the FF.
I also seem to remember Martin Hines returning some amazing times in a Kart around Silverstone. As fast, if not faster than the bulk of a 3lt F1 grid.
