BAC Mono power lap by the Stig
 

2nd fastest lap ever behind a Pagani haha...

impressive car. but i was waiting for the F12 to break the lap record. they reviewed the Ferrari F12 in the same episode but never showed us Stig's lap of it. me suspects they didnt want to show it and upstage the BAC Mono in the same episode.

ok, 3rd fastest then? pro forma lol? the car starts at ~$175k and goes up from there depending on options.... disruptive given the lower weight to horsepower ratio. my opinion. I <3 this car:) she looks like a violin to me haha...or a natural species.


btw I'm with you, ever since the unfair review they did on Tesla, I take even automotive media with a grain of salt. even if this car is in the top 5, it's impressive for the price point I think...

No grip, no downforce, what's the use of this vehicle? Missed the tire stack twice to the left, dirt trackin it all the way.

The car beat an Ariel Atom V8, which has 200hp more and is just as light.... thats an utterly ridiculous achievement considering what the former is capable of...

The point of this car is to fodder cars that cost 10x the price around 95% of race tracks and look insanely cool while doing it. :bs:

you know bro, I'm very ignorant here. I've never driven the car so I have no opinions on the way it drives, but will be sure to update this thread when I do...

for now, all I know is it's beautiful, it's quality made for a boutique car (I've seen it in person), and appears fast based on the numbers being shown publicly.

I reserve any other opinions till I take possession of one and actually know what the heck i'm talking about...all I know is, it's effing gorgeous, and exciting:) lol

Waddu mean no downforce no grip? It clearly has grip, or else it wouldn't be fast :P

Wings are typically to compensate for shitty aerodynamics on the rest of the body.

Also I don't think the F12 would break the record. It has a lot of power but it's also heavy as crap, I just don't see it being as fast as an Atom 500.

Anyways I've driven the BAC mono in a simulator, and I spun at every corner because nailing the throttle added speed too quickly for me to handle lol. I'm a noob.

Wow that looked like a handful to drive.

man he's really driving that thing, some of the corrections are huge!

i would have crashed like 12 times already.
