Evolve F90 M5 vs Yamaha R1 vs McLaren 720s

Was recently invited to join Living Life Fast for some runs on a private air strip against some other fast vehicles.

First up was the R1 and then the McLaren. M5 did me proud.

Ignore the thumbnail and title. The races are in this video.

On this air strip on that day I think I was doing 10.5's It was uphill and not that good a surface.

I've done 10.01 verified on Dragy previously on a good surface.

The new set up should be better but not had a good chance to test it.

Even more impressive. Your top end charge is very strong to hang with a 720s !
