Found this interesting, especially the part about the “stock” Honda type R’s time being called out, but I personally hate those things, so this article made me smile a little, and to never take any of these ring claims as gospel ever again no matter how many manufacturers try.

'ring' time is meaningless since 99% of drivers in the world will never experience the 'ring'.

Good story. Thanks

Very interesting; thanks. But beyond inaccuracies of timing and non-factory tires, I still can't get my head around grown adults still playing versions of "mine is bigger than yours." A fast car is a fast car, and something wholly capable of you losing your license with, lap times or not. Just enjoy the thrill and don't worry about somebody going a bit faster or slower than you.

and 99% of the drivers of said car aren't professional drivers

even a simple 1/4 mile run with a DSG can give different numbers and aren't 100% fool proof

Glad to be a 1 percenter, at least as far as having driven the Ring. Safe to say I was "slightly" off the record times.

I honestly don't care! It's a Honda.

I love my car for what it is...

A great daily driver that's comfortable, that's easily modded and is one of a kind.
