Just in case you didn’t believe that a Cadillac could lap the ‘Ring in under 8 minutes, we’ve got the video proof – or at least a video of the now famous lap.
John Heinricy is an executive with GM Performance and while he may be one of the ‘suits’ he is also a very handy wheel-smith. John took his divisions latest four-door performance sedan, the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and rung its neck around the Green Hell posting a time of 7:59:32 – the fastest lap recorded by a four door sedan.
“We had a chance to mount some cameras on the car and had the benefit of a beautiful day. Enjoy”

Whilst it may be reasonably quick, it still has the aesthetic appeal of a prolapsed colon… unfortunate really.
not a full representative of a lap around this fantastic track, all the other drives i have seen have had slower cars to contend with, this is just another GM piece of PR work not true to what happens on this track?
Even when TOP GEAR do there drives there are cars all over that track to pass?
