Whispers from the big hill are just like... WOW!! Independent timekeepers have been keeping an eye on a number of cars out there pedalling hard...

.. is doing its level best to burst into the record books...
It has been said that this car, with its Danish pilot, has hit the top of the pops today, time wise. While undergoing a testing a setup development regime, for its first time at the Mountain, and on a set of tyres losing their grip as the laps on them increase, and during the heat of the day...
... allegedly... a mid 2.06 was achieved!! 
Still some more set up work to come, as well as a run on brand new rubber. While the sound is apparently an eargasm... as you might expect a high revving Ferrari to be...
Awesome stuff!!  Bring on the B12!!! |

Very impressive. Bodes well for the event in February.
Edit:
Lap-time confirmation post removed by Simonsen.
OP stated 2:06.63 had been achieved.
