Yeah the R34 did 7.52, its been well and truely smashed.

Interestingly, the record was and still is 7.19 from the radical rs4, a bike engined road legal car.

Doesnt the Gemballa Porsche also hold a record there?

[Zane]

I seem to remember reeling off a 6:58 in the Brabham on Grand Prix Legends ( PC version ) but somehow I dont think that counts. I now have a job and a real life, no really, I do!!!

I guess they count that as a modified car.

There will probably be more Carrera GTs produced than Gemballa GTR750s

The other possibility is that the guy who does all the laps might not have driven a Gemballa. It is pretty good how they use the same guy to drive, takes out one variable at least.
