It was without a doubt bloody fast, but was it at the limit?
My point was that i'm not sure that the cars are being pushed as hard as they once would have been.
I must confess this year i travelled the least ever around the circuit. Spent most of the time at the Ford chicane in a g.stand, so not the fastest part of the circuit by a long stretch.
The speed through the new section after the Dunlop was amazing at night, but again were the cars (esp the fastest cars) on the limit?
Perhaps i could point to the improved endurance of the top cars by way of example, though i take on board the "bullet-proof" nature of some of the teams now.
