Love Jethro on Top Gear (magazine)!

I couldn't help but notice the screen showing, what I'm guessing is, the last lap. It probably wasn't anywhere near a proper effort, but this already equals the best GT3 lap time on COTA and puts it 6.5 seconds ahead of Venom F5 Revolution with aero mods.

JUST HOW FAST IS IT?
McLaren claims the Solus GT can lap quicker than an LMP2 car and not too far away from a Hypercar - the top class at Le Mans. Which is nuts. Is it true? It’s hard to say. We were at COTA on a very hot day and the Solus was well under the GT3 racecar lap record but still some way from an LMP2 record (a 1m 52.545s set by Nyck de Vries) even in the hands of a current IndyCar driver.

"I drove that at COTA and boy I was hyperventilating. I had to pull over and open the top.
When I first saw the rendering I fell off my seat. It was so exciting, so futuristic... and of course I signed up for it and I wired my deposit. But when I actually sat in the car and drove it, I realized I'm never going to track this car. It's basically going to be sitting in the garage as an art piece. That car belongs on a track and not in a garage."

Totally vindicated!

Driving these cars properly requires skill and certain level of athleticism.

I still can't figure out why these FFF guys or Khoshbin bought into the idea of owning a Solus GT.
I think they're just gonna do one track day, realize they're out of their depth and then off it goes to serve as a room decoration for the remainder of their custody.

On a bright side, now he can go buy 10 more SLRs.

The Triple F Collection is selling their Solus GT (along with 7 other cars). Revvd is right again, probably the same reason as Manny Khoshbin.

I wonder about other owners and how much they drive theirs. But they don't seem to be posting on social media which is fair enough.
