JM's 133mph lap
Great to see there's life in the old dog yet!!

Whilst the record books will show that JM set a new outright lap record in the Senior race at 17m..03.567sec at 132.701mph, which was set on lap 2 and included slowing to enter Pit Lane for refuelling.

What the record books will not show is that Lap 1 through Lap 2, Cronk ny Mona to Cronk ny Mona, based on sector timings, JM set a time of 17m..00.046sec which equates to a lap of 133.159mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: JM's 133mph lap
I don't know how long John's pit stop was but his lap three time was 17:54.365 which might be close to a sub-17 minute lap of racing. Or it might not depends if the stop was nearer 45 seconds or a minute.

RE: JM's 133mph lap

Think Guy was up on time all the way to cronk ny mona over John by a few tenths on that lap but lost 2 seconds coming into the pits! Luca do you have the lap times to cronk ny mona to confirm this?

It is correct: time to pits was 1:02.532 for Guy, 1.730 more than John (1:00.802).
But at the end JMG's lap was 2.340 better than Martin's, so Guy was 0.610 in late at Cronk.
