Ultrafast lap of Davidson at Valencia today

[goldNSX]

Davidson did an ultrafast lap at Valencia today, new track record since february 2004! It was 0.9 seconds (!) faster than Kimi Raikönen the day before. Incredibly fast!

I know testing isn't always a proper indicator of true race pace, but in Honda's case at least, pre-season testing in the past couple of years have always reflected in their season results. Look at 2004, when they set blistering times during pre-season testing and finished 2nd in WCC. 2005, plenty of mechanical failures and mediocre times in testing and practically the whole season was spent recovering from aero deficiencies before they could even muster any kind of challenge.

That being said, I believe Honda will be fighting for WCC and WDC this season. And the sooner they win, the sooner we will see a big, bad new NSX!:biggrin:
