Default F-type driver passes 43 cars on one 'Ring lap

Of course, like the HP says, this isn't exactly your ordinary Jag driver. Dale Lomas is piloting an SVR Race Taxi and his skill is apparent. Check out the video below for a particularly awesome lap of the 'Ring.

Pretty sure that is not an F Type, it's the Project 8

Very interesting! I took a ride in Godzilla last year, and the time to the red dot at the end of the run was exactly the same (9:09). We only passed 23 cars, tho... Wish the SVR had been there then!

I pass even more than that going in the opposite direction.

From the link in OPs post.
"Dale’s car is a mostly stock F-Type SVR with the carbon brake option. It’s only modifications are for safety, so it has a full roll cage, Recaro Pole Position seats, and 6-point harnesses."

Thank you. I have sat inside the project 8, its interior is the standard XE (expect with a F-type shifter instead of the circle knob). The interior in this video is obviously an F-Type.

That driver absolutely blows my mind. I know he's a pro, but truly gifted in remaining in control, but SO calm.

Having been to Le Mans 5 or 6 times, and having watched the best of the best do lap after lap after lap - including, of course, at night - and having a professional take me around the track the day before the start, I can state unequivocally that the difference between any of us and a professional race car driver is on a scale equal to the Grand Canyon.

Yes, it's that big and a thing of beauty!
