Why would you track this car? Obviously he's got stock tires, suspension, etc. I get wanting to go fast. Back in high school I had an 81 Z-28 that I had up to 147, couldn't get to 150 due to a hood scoop that was loose. No air bags, no seat belt usage (that's how old I am). But I did this on a straight away. Same with my 6 series. I've had it up to 130 on the interstate but it was a straight road and no traffic. |
It's the Goodwood festival of speed event, not a track day. It's an annual demonstration hill climb in front of tens of thousands of spectators. An opportunity for car manufacturers to show off their new wares. This would have been a professional racing driver, not an amateur, in an official dealer car. Track is dusty and very bumpy.
There is also kudos for being fastest up the hill. A recipe for disasters like this
