...... but over a four minute plus lap
This is a guy I race Superlights/Drakarts with, Colin or 'Mad Dog' as he is known and this is Teffi (Bont) stages in mid Wales. He has the
lap record in both direction as its run anti clockwise and clockwise. This lap in the video is 6 seconds off his best. The nearest car to this time,
is a full on WRC car with I understand an 'experienced' driver 
and is over 30 seconds slower. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy?

Magnificent. Much respect to that man. He is either very brave, deranged or both.
Whereabouts is that? It looks very much like Epynt.
oh much to fast for me
thats not a 4 minutes lap, its a little over 2 isn't it, he does two laps
Erm,
Marshalls do they paint em green so they dont stand out ? maybe that adds to the trill !!!

One was standing on the wall - at a very likely contact point!!!
Excellent bit of footage - wonder why they call him "mad dog"
mm interesting!
Don't know much about drakarts but just had a look at some and they are basically autograss specials but with tiny engines.
The autograssers are running the same type of chassis but wider and with TWO big bore tuned hayabusa engines in the back
Imagine one of them round there!!!
PS I have heard of another 600cc formula called NORA Superlights, are the drakarts at all similar?

Yea, I've seen that one its run over the last few years, have you raced there before??
NOT saying I or anybody else would beat maddog!!!!!! That's driver not car!!!!! LOL my bottle won't last that one!!!
I don't currently have a working grasser, as my twin mille engine fiat 126 is still work in progress due to building the kadett for my mate, and
I broke my old class 9 for spares.
IIRC the grassers beat the NORAS at blyton previously BUT I do recall that they competed directly, despite the bigger power of the grassers. main
issue is in autograss the chassis all has to be 2.5mm wall steel tubing.

Will come up the Blyton if I possibly can (and I should be able to by then)
prob without car though as it'll never be finished!!
