IN VILLENEUVE'S FOOTSTEPS: GILLES SET AN UNBELIEVABLE TIME DRIVING FROM MONACO TO MARANELLO - CAN WE BEAT IT IN NICK MASON'S ENZO?

Have they beaten Villeneuve time?

They have to do it...
I don't know which car Gilles used, but the Enzo is surely better.
If it doesn't win is because it had to climb something to get there, and the Enzo got stuck.. comething stupid like that, lol

I suppose I can give the answer now : NO. They said GV was really nut to be able to do this in 2h45 and they were 84 miles short after 2h45

Or they are too chicken, and afraid to destroy an Enzo..., or Villeneuve took his F1 car!

Holy crap how did he get away with that?

Sorry for the dealy, Gilles drove a Ferrari 308 GTB (or GTS ?) and he managed almost 100 mph of average speed

They can't beat it even with an Enzo. I am sure someone will scan the article.

Sweet. Might pick up this month's CAR ... usually don't go anywhere near it.

The latest issue of evo is a very good one, with a Carrera GT maxed out on the Autobahn & other cool stuff

mad, crazy and what a legend 8)

and he managed almost 100 mph of average speed

And??? In what kind of roads??
I have a friend of mine that goes from Porto to Algarve here in Portugal (700kms) and does an average of 115mph. It's just a matter of road, and traffic.

Oh, and not being caught by the police!
