Judging by the stabs of throttle and Randy’s voice after exiting seven, I’m guessing there’s at least three tenths more to be shaved.

BTW, the GTLM pole time from Petit Le Mans last year was 1:17.660.

In reply to racerfink :

That's like 9 seconds faster.  Like me vs. Usain Bolt in 100 meter sprint.  

Not knocking the Z or Randy

If you were wearing regular tennis shoes, pants, and a sweatshirt, while Usain had his track shoes and suit, sure.

I imagine actual race slicks would make up a big chunk of that time difference

Briefly at 170 mph on the back stretch come to braking and sand pits!

Then from 170 mph to 58 mph in about 4 seconds!!

Needs more tire. laugh

It's fun watching the steering angle and seeing where he's fighting the front of the car.

Wow!  Greater that 1.25g's in gentle corners is amazing!

I know it’s fast but it didn’t seem particularly “explosive” to me coming out of the corners.  And yeah, a set of Hoosiers would have really helped.
