The Corvette ZR-1 has just knocked off four seconds from its ‘ring time, bringing it down to 7:22.4 from its previous record of 7:26. The new time is still slower than the 7:22.1 time claimed by a Dodge Viper ACR a couple months ago. The ZR-1’s first record-breaking lap was hot on the heels of Nissan’s claim that the GT-R lapped the course in 7:29, which, at the time, was the second-fastest lap time ever recorded; a Pagani Zonda F held the record at 7 minutes and 27 seconds.
All of this has to be taken with a grain of salt. The times these cars are recording are with the supervision of their manufacturers and not an outside governing body, which could standardize how these lap times are procured.
