He seemed to reach a breakthrough after about 295kph....slowly to 300, then right up to 304 very fast.....very scary!

Wow. That was an impressive lap. FAST car and a really smooth driver. The sound of the car was unusual to me. The tach showed he was turning 9K RPM, but the motor never really sounded like it was revving very hard. Can't argue with the results, though!

Take it from one who knows: There is something totally intoxicating about the sound of a V-10 winding up behind you.

It is amazing how easy a professional driver makes it look.

You really have to get past that whole "everyone in Europe drives on the wrong side of the road" mentality Gene. Both the country that track is in (Germany) & the country that car was made in (Italy) drive on the correct side of the road.

If the post-processed digital dashboards were being fed by wheelspeed sensors (as per usual for a dashboard display) the inherent inaccuracy of measuring a groundspeed using a wheel that changes diameter with speed, temeperature and deflection, would register the following errors almost totally ‘within tolerance’.

Why do I think they’re GPS based? Simple both videos display ‘glitches’ in the speed readout shown on the post-processed ‘dashboard’. These glitches range from barely noticable to somewhat striking. GPS speed measuring from modern equipment is mighty impressive, but it still falls victim to trees, radio interference and ground reflections. Hence…
