    I was looking at lap times at Fiorano, and near the bottom it said "Porsche 959, 1:37.00"


    This was on wikipedia.


    Is it just an article error or what?

    Its an interesting story back in 1987 when CAR UK went to drive the F40, they took a 959 with them and Ferrari allowed them to put thr 959 around Fiorano for comparison as to how the cars felt and performed on the track, I think this was the first and last time this happened!

    Actually I have a copy of an article by German magazine Sport Auto from June 1988 with a comparison between an F40 and a white 959 at Fiorano. The cars were driven bij Gerhard Berger and Walter Brun. There's no mention of lap times though.

    Best, Peter

    That's kind of slow for a supercar isn't it?

    You might be right but am sure CAR UK also did a comparison at Fiorano...
