Not mine, however one of the local GT6 racers has a car that is road
registered (note that I didn't say technically legal), which was reported
as doing 220kph down the main straight at one of the tracks in Melbourne.

He claims that it had more to go, however his knuckles were so white that
you could see them reflecting the sun from the viewing area in the pit
lane!!!

His next project is to develop some downforce increasing front bodywork!!!.
