From BTG:
"The 'production based' Ferrari 599XX which claimed a new 'lap record' of 6min58.16s on the Nordschleife. In my mind the 'stupidly impractical racecar-on-the-road' lap record still belongs to the Radical SR8-LM which was not only 10 seconds FASTER but was also ROAD LEGAL and drove from the factory to the track and back. And Vergers, the man who drove the Radical, did it on ROAD LEGAL tyres and wearing a SHORT-SLEEVE SHIRT and DENIM JEANS. That's how to do it."
