BAC

MONO LEFT BEHIND PORSCHE AND McLAREN

The BAC Mono is one of the most radical street sports that can be found on the market and its technical approach is as simple as it is effective. From a competition chassis, the Briggs brothers' small business has created a single seat that is perfectly homologated to drive on open roads, but that counts improper performance for a model of its price range. Which allows you to tackle the most expensive and exclusive sports cars on the planet, although it only costs a fraction of the price of them.Once again, the BAC Mono was the protagonist of a new record of fast return, that time in the classic circuit of Zolder, obtaining the fastest lap registered by a vehicle of production in the Belgian route.The weight and power ratio of the British single-seater is excellent, so this feat does not sound strange, but what is impressive is that it achieved the record with the wet track, surpassing all the times obtained previously, including those achieved with the dry trackThe time was 1: 38.12, eleven tenths, faster than the McLaren 650S and just over a second faster than the Porsche Carrera GT. The Mono now tops a list where we can find pure-blood sports, from the Porsche 997 GT3 RS and 997 GT2 to the Ferrari F430.

These are the best lap times on Zolder:
BAC Mono - 01: 38.12
McLaren 650S-01: 38.23
Porsche Carrera GT - 01: 39.13
Porsche 911 (997) GT2 - 01: 40.28
Porsche 911 (997) GT3 RS-01: 40.72
