    • @dylansorenson2784
      @dylansorenson2784 3 роки тому +3

      The Mini JCW GP is an impressive package no doubt, but something must have been going on in the lap time you mentioned. Maybe it was raining for Steve Millen, or he was on a VERY off day. For reference, Randy Pobst ran a 1:27.22 in a 2015 GT3 RS.

What’s more, if this new gp is about numbers bmw should have done more, not sure this bests a civic type r in any comparison.
