Interesting Fact about the ACR's 13 Track Records

[NT-ACR]

Apparently the team made sure it ran back-to-back record-breaking laps for each of the 13 courses. And according to SRT vehicle dynamics manager Chris Winkler, who drove the car for all but two of the record-setting runs (Randy Pobst piloted the car at MRLS), the first and second runs were within tenths and even hundredths of a second of each other.

If the V10-powered ACR set the record on the first lap, why do it again? Well, it was partially about having some insurance, but there was also another motivating factor.

"[We wanted] to make sure another vehicle that can't do two laps is completely annihilated," Winkler told me. "Hybrid cars run out of juice two-thirds through a lap."
