Imagine that thing with carbon ceramic brakes !!

Presumably the tractor was there for them to run behind if anything went wrong.

Holy moly that's quick!!

Did he hit the ton in 2nd gear or did he start in 2nd - in any case he only changed gear once!

I want to see any current road legal Noble cars beat that record.

I love Ultimas, especially the GTR! I will own that car, woohoo!

Fantastic!

I assumed he had started in 2nd having only used one change, but hell... if he hit the ton in 2nd at what looks like about 7500rpm... wow! Wish my TVR would rev like that.

Great traction off the line. I chatted to Ted ages ago about TC for an Ultima. Obviously not needed in the dry! He did say he killed everybody around the track with it though.

At this moment, in a secret hideaway, the Caterham engineers are plotting their revenge.... mmmwwwahahahahahah.

Well, Caterham believe this record to be almost their sole preserve so don't be surprised if they do not try to wrest it back.

It's a bit like the Nurburgring Production Car Lap Record - something else Caterham like to have on their list of achievements.

yeah well what about the Tiger WR, that acelarates the quickest in the world to 60, so surely with abit of tinkering then that has to be a strong contender

Indeed, for the last few years there has been the usual exotics, but there always has been a R500 there that wins through! Generally through awesome braking though, the 60-100 times have definite scope for improvement still...
R500+supercharger= R600 or R700 for next time?
