Just proves the "lightning lap" crew at Car and Driver left laughable time on the table.

These are VIR full times. Lightning Lap is Grand Course…….much longer, way more technical.

Isn't the VIR crew just a bunch of regular guys and not professional race drivers too?

At least they are giving all of us an unbiased test of what cars can do on a road course every year.

They have some very quick drivers, some with some solid racing background. The times they post aren't that far off, typically 1-2 seconds off what many of the OEM Pro drivers post.

Which sim are you using? Assetto Corsa is my go to, but there's no ZL1 1LE, and not sure how well the mods model the car.
