Thats not the ring... that would be Car and Driver's ''lightning lap'' course which has a severe lack of difficult corners.
The ring time should be 8+ minutes

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
