The time was recorded using Nurburgring timing equipment and was verified by track officials.

This time attack car has set lap records at the Isle of Man TT, the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb (where it was also third fastest overall) and now it has conquered the 20.6km lap around the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
