    Lol,

    I've done enough racing to know when someone is having a go. Did you hear 5th bouncing off the limiter? And to get pole plus wins clearly defines the drivers ability.

    Well done Mike - Nice driving!

    Thank you!
    Yep I heard it. I started the weekend with taller rear Pirellis then made a switch to shorter Michelins, so the car was rev'ing faster with the smaller tires. With the Pirellis it wasn't redlining down the front straight, so when we made the switch and put the Michelins on I was a bit caught off guard with how quickly it was rev'ing. After quali I realized what was happening and just had to back off towards the end of the straight.

    Listen to the sound at 1.02 of the vid and 1.57.

    That's the sound of the rev limiter.

    OK so at least you aren't an armchair expert like most are on the net.

    I don't know Lime Rock so I can't question the gentlemans lines.

    All I do know for sure is that it would be 10 times harder to driver a rear wheel drive, turbo charged, F40 LM worth $1m around a race circuit with all types of exotic vintage & modern vehicles and string a good lap together.

    BTW - do you have your best certified lap time for Lime Rock?
