Great lap Jon. I wonder how much quicker it would have been without the traffic.

I think the top speed of the Aston Martin V12 GT3 Is About 302kmh.

I have a question for ya. How fast was he going before he hit the first chicane? Most GTEs run at 182 before then.

[@JonBarnesRacing]

+Esgaloth It was 188mph before the first chicane in qualifying. Then 185mph before the second chicane, 185mph before Indianapolis and 175mph before the Porsche curves section :-D

+JonBarnesdotcom Did you guys follow FIA GT3 Ballance of Performance for the race? I know they used a 41.5mm air restrictor.
