2013 Lightning Lap - The Contenders - CAR and DRIVER

american version of their Nürburgring times ? whahahahahaha.

and you just call it lightning lap ?

Yo guys, the "fearsome" Virginia International Raceway doesn't even come close to The one and only Nürburgring.

So YOU can call your laptime just a fast lap on the Virginia International Raceway.

And a video of 11 min. to explain how much horsepower the cars have and what they cost or in what class they are ?

well thanks for the history lesson.
