Now that is a great hillclimb course!!


Its quick but not that quick, the perception is very quick due to camera angles. The lap was quite untidy in places even running offline a fair few times. A better driver would easily be able to beat that lap time simply by keeping the lap tidy.

I think keeping a 910bhp car 'tidy' would be a challenge for anyone, his time was 10:11:46 whilst his current all time record stands at 10:01.408. The records tend to stand for a very long time the last one stood for 13 years..

So I'd say that was fast as it gets regardless of camera angles.

<edit> I can't find any other times faster other than the two previous records

Yes, but so are Gismo and Crombers and they can almost drive as fast as us younger drivers, mind you it does take Crombers a while to get his zimmer-frame out of the boot once we get somewhere
