The ring has been resurfaced in many turns in I believe the last 6 months or so. All the new times are completely incomparable to the old ones. This does however smoke the Nissan GTR time by a few seconds

i'm sure its been resurfaced many times in areas since the 1920's

there were even a couple of times he threw his hands up because he got too loose and had to correct it

yes, but I believe this has been the first major one in the last few years, hence why these new times coming out seem so unbelievable

The stig doesn't know that track as well as many other people. Hence why they had Sabin help Jeremy out. She was beating porches and motorcycles in a van
