I think he means the record for travelling FROM Silverstone TO Thruxton, by road, in a tank. Legally it should take about 1 1/2 hours, maybe less now the A43's finished.

The last time i was at silverstone it took me about 50mins to complete a lap.
This was due to the very bad bar service you get comming out of copse.

You need trainers. But what pressures you recommend I run my Nike Airs?
