I don't know. Today is not racing, just qualifying, so I would not expect them to be too aggressive today. The group of cars that followed the group in the pic that I posted were much faster. Top speed in that group was 157 mph. I would guess for the group in the pic maybe 115-120 mph. I am surprised by: 1. How many cars are out there in each group, maybe 15-20, 2. The fact that they actually seem to be trying to go fast and do well, despite the value of the cars, and 3. How normal everyone seemed in the paddock area, they want you to look at their cars and if they're not busy, they'll tell you all about them. These people love cars like we love bikes.
