Revolution Scooby set Ring record...!

After 18mths of hard work and a second visit we finally broke the current record set by Subaru Japan and Tommi Makinnen yesterday.

We intended to build a crazy track machine to celebrate our 15th year in business and most of you were aware its a pretty special car.

Current record for a full lap (not B to G) stood at 7.55 and we did it in 7.53 ...!

We drove the car to the circuit on the tyres we used, very little spares to keep the car fully RISC legal too.

Very proud if what we've achieved and all of my team who build this awesome machine.

Sitting at Ring now typing this and looking at all the crazy cars going out makes me chuckle to think at what we've done!

Please log onto our Facebook/revolution247 page for videos and soon we will upload the full lap from the box recorder.

Can't wait to get it to Spa and Ring in October

Cheers
Glenn

Excellent stuff Glenn, all the hard work has def been paid off, as those bragging rights wont fade for a while ;)

I never realised it was a full lap (Not BTG). was this including the South Loop too, was timing done at T13?

Again congrats and look forward to that Pax lap at Spa ;)
