As the Stratosurge flies past the finishing line, everyone inside the pit room stares at the lap timer with a stunned gaze.
They can't believe what they are looking at.
The timer says 6:59:57.
That's faster than the fastest lap time on this circuit, meaning Adam now holds the record for doing the fastest lap time on the Eylendra Circuit in a road-legal car.
Beating the legendary Carlos Diega, who had done his fastest lap with 7:02:09.
Adam overtook Carlos Diega's record by almost three seconds. In motorsport, three seconds is a big gap. These cars cover large distances in seconds, so for Adam to have an almost three-second gap between him and Carlos, that would put Carlos in the Stratosurge's dust.
One with a three-second lead can easily hold onto his position if he doesn't make a severe mistake and rarely gets passed.
