Apparently the video doesn't add up, the tyres are being pushed beyond limits and the gear ratio wouldn't allow the stated top speed (apparently top speed was achieved in 6th gear). There's also several other videos that show the maths doesn't add up.
It's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds. |
The tyres were the thing that got me intrigued. I know Bugatti were extremely concerned with tyres exploding during their high speed testing. They would not run them at top speeds for any more than a small amount of time. And the Bugatti had tyres custom made by Michelin specifically for that car.
Yet this car is reportedly running much higher speeds on stock Sport Cup 2's?
