54.35 in the video..as presented by Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter

Does anyone have latest Lightning Lap test results?

The Corvette got a 2:37 not a 2:39

Are we going to get some times for the full course or no?

These times are so inaccurate.

Update the times already!

Admin can add this lap times

AMG GT63 S 4Matic - 2:49.3
Camaro ZL1 1LE - 2:45.0
600LT Spider - 2:42.6 (Trofeo R)
GT3 RS - 2:41.6 (Cup 2 R)
Senna - 2:34.9

Meatbag five American cars in the top ten. Up your fat ass.

LOL american fat ******s.Your cars are shit so just deal with it.

Bah gawd, what is that GT2RS even made of?

What a bloody Gag that ZR1 is. I cant believe some people actually believe engineering goes into these 'murican cars. Honestly, fitting a 285 section front tyre should be bordering on criminal negligence. The less educated are astounded with the "grip" this car has without even thinking about tyres. Sure you get a crap ton of grip, but the second you even SEE rain you might aswell travel on foot.

The americans like to publish lap times now because they actually believed they have engineered their cars to be better at cornering. DING! Wrong again. Fitting hyper sticky rubber the width of a district is not engineering! It is a lazy solution selected by lazy companies to impress yahoos with meaningless laptimes when the car becomes a public danger at the sight of rain.

720s and performante achieve far superior laptimes with far narrower and safer tyres. THAT is engineering. Not a ham-fisted approach that americans possess.

I was expecting the R8 V10 Plus to be faster than that

Does this page no longer get updated?

Ford GT - 2:38.62

CHEVY CORVETTE ZR1 SMASHES DAYS-OLD FORD GT VIR LAP RECORD 2:37.25
https://www.motor1.com/news/229075/corvette-zr1-smashes-vir-record/

Can you guys fix the title? These are all West course times.

2017 corvette z06 (with z07 package) got 2:39.77 at VIR Grand Course this summer due to improved calibration offered in all their 17s and onward plus they have a retro fit availa or for 15 and 16 z06's. The z06 time you have there of 2:41.32 was from the 2015 z06 when it first came to market. Both the new and previous times were from their driver Jim Mero. The new time was posted on a promo video at SEMA and again more recently he posted it personally on corvette forum in the "Ask Tadge" section. This is a new lap record and I ask that you please update this list

I thought the 5th gen Camaro 1LE was a great car but then noticing that the 6th gen 1LE was 10 seconds a lap faster. Wow.

do i need to remind everyone who supports this corrupt site ?

oh look! the usual suspects on top 3 and somehow they managed to throw in a yankee camero ride with a shocka absorba zooloo package too lol

These times are bullshit thanks to Car and driver and their shitty "drivers"...

it even says west on your map image

the vette grand sport is it with z07 package?

No Grand East Course is mentioned here.

@FastestLaps - Is this the full VIR track because the time is insane?

Track - Grand West Course.

It's outdated: Corvette Grandsport made 2:45:18

Check it out: https://youtu.be/KYegfUdsB_U

Some of these lap times are wrong, because they were taken from the Car & Driver lightning lap test, which uses the Grand West Course (4.1 mile) configuration instead of the Grand East Course configuration.

It is only a single laptime, If other surface and are just as fantastic, Then that should calm any doubts about it, But Not every car performs the same on every track.
