If you have lapped it just about, you realize it is a comparatively compact monitor that is deceptively exhausting to drive nicely as a consequence of its mixture of lengthy, sweeping corners and difficult hairpins.

In different phrases, for those who’ve received any familiarity with the course, you’d count on {that a} 2,640-pound carbon-kevlar-bodied C6 Corvette with a 427-cubic-inch, 1,300-horsepower V8 could be a handful on it. As it seems, you would be proper!

In this video, Feras Qartoumy wrings a few take a look at laps out of his World Time Attack-prepped C6 at Tsukuba Circuit, the place he rapidly discovers that the traction management is damaged. For the primary minute of the video earlier than the tires are as much as temp, you possibly can inform that the tires are breaking away utterly on straightaways in second gear. If that is not sufficient proof that this automobile is lots to deal with, Qartoumy has the C6 sideways out of just about each nook.

Despite this, with the tires (barely) warmed, he nonetheless units a blazingly quick time for a shakedown.
