I reckon something about 1:34-1:37. 11th April 2012, 14:48 at 2:48 pm #199249 moshbeardMemberJenson did it in 1.48 in a 2008 McLaren last year but was clearly not going at 100% of what he could have been. 11th April 2012, 14:56 at 2:56 pm #199250 necrodethmortemParticipantYeah, he was almost cruising and I don’t believe that time anyways, it just happens to be 1:48.88, in an event with team ‘888’…I can manage 1:36.5 with an MP4/20 with keyboard in rFactor and I’m hardly a talented driver. 12th April 2012, 5:11 at 5:11 am #199251 DaveParticipantThat was pretty epic across the top of the mountain. He kept his foot in for a long time there. 12th April 2012, 7:39 at 7:39 am #199252 DaveParticipantI like this onboard better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4XVF3jJL5QAuthorPostsViewing 6 posts - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
