Good to see Mark still prowling the mountain!
I set a rather competitive time of 2.08.023 just this morning in a TVR Cerbera!
I love the Mountain almost as much as the Mother (Nordschleife) but my frame rate is pretty low on the Mountain and my V8's are undriveable!

Michael Caruso relpaces the critically injured Mark Porter in the second of the Team BOC cars.. ... Michael steps up from the V8 development series. He is going to be in a totally unfamiliar vehicle, in the main game.Tthe team has told him he is under no pressure to perform, just to familiarise himself with the car, where all the switches,buttons, bar adjusters etc are and try to find a rhythm in the car. At least he knows which direction the track goes.

From the in car telemetry Skaife exceeded 300kmh on Conrod Straight.
To put that in perspective that is about 83 metres a second thru Chase Bend.
