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

 

Its and F-Type SVR, its obvious by the interior.

 

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!

 

Project 8, see news story on forum web page.

 

Ha ha ha ha!

 

I probably pass double that number every day driving to work.

 

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

 

The Unhingd One strikes again!

 

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!
