The SEAT Leon Cupra has apparently beaten the previous lap record for a front-wheel-drive car around the green hell by around ten seconds. The 276bhp hot hatch set a time of 7m58.4s, so it's also the first FWD car to break the eight-minute barrier. And it's faster than the SRT Viper, the Aston DBS and the Cadillac CTS-V, apparently. Take that, rear-wheel-drive.
The previous record was, obviously, held by the mighty Renault Mégane RS 265 Trophy with 8m07.97s, and I like Renault a whole lot more than SEAT. I hope Renault Sport get back out there and kick those krautspaniards' asses.

Ring times are as much to do with the car company's experience with the 'ring as they are to do with the car. I would argue that the VAG group have a lot more experience with getting the most out of cars here than Dodge, GM or Renault.
