How fast have you managed to go?
I've just tried a few times - at Monza of course. Reaching 366 km/h required engaging KERS halfway through Parabolica, so that I was out just before the finish line, and using a fresh new "batch" to help accelerate at 7th gear. I even went straight through the escape road in the first chicane, so that I wouldn't lose any speed. Still, with downforce set to minimum and a loooong 7th gear, the car maxed out at 366 km/h.
Now, in 2005 Montoya set a F1 speed record with 367 km/h using a "normal" setup and sticking strictly to the race track. It makes you wonder about the power of the "old" V10 engines
