That course is so sick, I would be scared to death of it. They said the driver has been around it 6,000 times. I guess I would be comfortable at that point too

He sure is bouncing a lot, I can't see doing this without a harness though.

If I weren't so lazy, I would find out the wheel/tire size, differential ratio, 6th gear ratio, and note he was at 6,000 RPM and determine the speed.

It was hard to make out the numbers on the tach but it looked like he was shifting well over 7500rpms at times. Thats way past the power band, at least in my car...

From another lap with the same 05 Spec C, 250 Kph (~155 mph). The 5 and 6th gear ratios are shorter than ours.

The 2.0 Motors have an 8000 RPM Redline vs our 7000 RPM in the 2.5 Its most likely he was around 7200-7600 RPM by the time he got the the small curve toward the end of the straight.

Here's the whole clip, including some backstory and a lap on the GP strecke.
