This is the big track, so rarely did the speeds get below 100km/hr. The back straight is actually up hill, the top speeds that I saw were between 215 and 218km/hr but that is over a blind hill before a turn where as it is difficult to look at the speedometer. That track is awesome!!

Thanks for the kind words....
Here is another video of me following an insane widebody Turbo Honda S2000 track car. Notice it shooting flames out the back at the 4:36 mark!!!

LOL... I used to race my GSXR on this track. This video looks soooooo slow (no offense) - I'm sure it's still super fun to run this track in an MS3, bu cars just don't compare to motorcycles on the race track. I remember watching some import racing one night at Shannonville after we raced - I know they were going fast, but it literally looked like a bunch Sunday drivers compared to the bikes.
Yeah, that is a crazy long straight-away - it's about 1 1/4 KM. You come out of Moss Corner hairpin, and open the throttle wide, almost hit the top of 6th gear before gearing down for the long sweeper. The most challenging corner at that track (at least on a bike) is corner 2 (1:05 in video) - before you crest the hill you have to be at full lean to make the corner properly, so you're fully committed before you can even see the corner - you have to know your line! This is a very fast, full throttle course. I think it would be fun do do this course in a fast car.

I have raced this track on a motorcycle as well, pretty much every year over the last 10 years, so I can relate to what you are saying. The camera does not give you a very good sensation of speed. My best lap time there on the bike is a 126.1 and top speed in the draft is 275 km/hr on my 600cc race bike. Here is a video of my Pro 600 race last year. I came out retirement to run one more race, so I was little rusty. Lol
