BAC Mono sets fastest production car lap at Sepang International Circuit

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) is celebrating another major performance achievement after the BAC Mono set the fastest-ever production car lap time at the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia. The world's only single-seater, road-legal supercar conquered the famous Formula One track in just 2:14.617, showing its production rivals a clean pair of heels in the process.

With Blancpain GT Series Asia driver Shaun Thong in the cockpit, the Mono obliterated the previous best time by over four seconds - a 2:18.997 posted by the Porsche GT2 RS.

BAC is no stranger to lap records around the globe, having set the best production times at the likes of Zolder, Hungaroring and Anglesey, as well as being the fastest supercar ever to compete in the Goodwood Festival of Speed Supercar Shootout.

The Sepang record is just the latest in a long line of feats for the BAC Mono on the track. The lap was officially clocked by Sepang International Circuit timekeepers and fully demonstrated the Mono's ability as an all-rounder - it's famed for its unrivalled agility, but it proved a real force on the fast, sweeping corners and long straights of Sepang.

The achievement came during one of BAC's revered Mono Experience events, whereby international customers joined BAC Hong Kong and BAC U.K. for a festival of driving with like-minded individuals on one of the most iconic circuits in the world.

The record-breaking car was a 2018 Mono that belonged to a new BAC customer, joining seven other Monos in Malaysia for the event. BAC hosts regular Mono Experience events for its valued customers, including ice driving on frozen lakes in Sweden and hitting the road on the Isle of Man.
