Back when they first came out with the Group C LeMans cars they had a top speed team challange event for the Group C cars. We found you could reach the top speed of the Jag if you ran at Indy but you could only reach its top speed until the third or fourth lap. You would build up top speed each lap but had to be very carefull not to bump any other cars as they would damage the Jag and slow you down. We would lag behind the first 21 cars and let them get far ahead, almost until they lapped you. It was hard to believe but the Jag hugged the road so well it would not slide even at max speed. Several of the team beat the max speed of the Jag, but it was a nerve racking race. But it is possible, and not down hill. It was one of the only times we were able to beat the Spa backwards teams.
