So I'm tooling around Assen in the IMSA variant of Honda's ARX-03b (by the oft-reviled SDD) and thinking that it's preternaturally quick. Not having any reference data for the Dutch track, I decide to check it out at aa's version of Michigan Speedway, a two-mile tri-oval. Sure enough, it's too damn fast, topping out at speeds that haven't been seen in a road-race since they put the chicanes in the Mulsanne Straight. In fact, it's faster than Mark Donohue's absolute closed-circuit record set at Talladega (a 2.66-mile tri-oval, much faster than MIS) in a 1,200-horsepower Porsche 917K (the Honda has a third as much) @ 221 mph. In an AI race @ 100%, I was lapping cars by the fourth lap. So it's pure fantasy, but I bet it'd be fun in an impromptu race with some like-minded friends. Twenty-lap race setup.
