I'm not sure about Hines going that quickly around a track like Silverstone. Averaged out among all tracks, Superkarts were generally on a par with F3 cars or F-Renault. On some tracks the karts would be quicker, on others the cars. As an illustration from Hines' heyday, here are some times from 1988 on the same configuration of the Silverstone GP circuit and in dry conditions.
o 07.08.1988 - Formula E fastest lap at the Silverstone Kart Grand Prix - Poul Petersen PVP/Rotax 1m34.07 - 113.62mph.
o 05.06.1988 - Formula 3 fastest lap at round 9 of British F3 championship - JJ Lehto Reynard 883 / TOMS Toyota - 1m29.98 - 118.75mph.
