Peter Brock @ Bathurst in his 1991 Holden Commodore. Definitely top 5 for me...

What are your favourite single laps?

Forget the whole lap, this pass is just insane:

Colin McRae, the famous X games roll-then-keep-going lap. He got second because of the roll, but the whole run was some fantastic driving.

This lap from Raikkonen was the first to come to my mind:

Technically 2 laps, but Rene Arnoux vs. Gilles Villeneuve at the '79 French Grand Prix:

Or this:

maybe that circuit just lends itself to some balls-out racing...

It is a quick track. They are doing 240km/h up the hill and 270+km/h down the back straight.

Oh RUF... Race engine, suspension, brakes, etc.... All on not particularly wide or sticky street tires.

Now go set a record time on an open track day in a t-shirt.

Exactly how did that seem like a good idea?

I don't miss the grooved tires (though they didn't have the thermal degradation the current Pirellis do) but dat v10 noise, it's so good.
