Which you have to be a very very skilled driver to do. 9/10 people could get the GTR round quicker

Most of the time its the power/torque that actually twists the chassis.
That causes the cars to pull to one side and steering is not always able to counteract that!

And did you know the origin of the quarter mile?


That was the distance between traffic lights on the street as that's where drag racing originated.
