Default Radical best Gumpert Apollo 'ring time by 23 sec...

August 20th 2009 - Peterborough sportscar manufacturer Radical Sportscars has smashed the Nürburgring production car lap record, with driver Michael Vergers posting a committed 6m48s lap time. The road-legal SR8LM smashed the previous record, also held by Radical since 2005, by an incredible eight seconds. All this, less than 24 hours after the car was driven from England to Germany for the record.
[...]
“We’ve proved that the SR8LM is not only the world’s best trackday car, but it’s also practical enough to drive to and from the circuit."
Where did they store the suitcase for the two day test?

IMO even if the they were faster than the Gumpert it doesn't have the same impact.
For reference the absolute record is 6:11.13 by Stefan Bellof in 1984 during practive behind the wheel of a Porsche 956.
