Did i miss the Huayra and P1 N ring laps?
Sorry for my dumb redaction... I meant that the P1 is at least 28 second faster round the ring than the 12C as the 12C did it in 7:28 as far as I know and the P1, as Ron Dennis said during the Geneva presentation, will lap the ring in less than seven minutes.

In the video Ron seems to be referring to the star in a reasonable priced car record, also continuing the bargain car thing he had been saying during his speech as he said he beat it in the P1...

^which then is even more diffuse

So he beat the KIA cee'd with his P1 by 10 seconds?

Is that even something to boast about on the stage of Geneva?

Or was the whole thing a awkward joke?

How about that 10s faster than the record claim by Ron for the P1..any comment on that?
Everyone knows Ron was talking about beating Lewis' time in the Suzuki Liana - not difficult in the P1, really.

Or that the P1 can pull OVER 2gs on street legal tires?
Maybe not on a 300 ft skidpad.

My guess is it was an awkward joke haha... other cases would mean that he is a terrible driver...

I want to clarify, BTW, that I don't believe he beat the top gear record by 10 seconds... that would be Lotus T125 fast which is a nearly F1 car. And, also, if I sounded agressive in any case, I didn't mean to. All said with respect.

@peloton
All claims will be laid to rest sooner or later, one thing is for sure this year has started off with a bang at Geneva, and there is so much more to come in terms of tests, and new players.
Its a good time to be a car enthusiast

This is like the guy from Noble another Frankenstein car made of other companies spare parts saying hat Ferrari got it all wrong. I happen to like Italian cars. I have always felt to each his own. I don't however find myself trolling Ferrari or Lamborghini forums trying to stirr crap. That has always seemed to be the fodder of wannabes who aren't interesting on their own account. I could talk about how much better my 12c is than other cars in their forums but I'm satisfied with my manhood so I don't feel the need.
