Perhaps the most prestigious production car performance record was broken in September by Michael Vergers in a Radical SR8 - and you can watch him do it!
Vergers lapped one of the worlds most difficult circuits, the Nurburgring Nordschleife, in 6 minutes 55 seconds, 20 seconds faster than the previous production car record set by a Porsche 996 GT2.
The 13 mile-long Nordschleife has 73 corners (many of them blind) and numerous abrupt elevation changes. No less a driver than Sir Jackie Stewart described the circuit as the ultimate driver challenge.
