GP2: 222mph !

Last night, I achieved a genuine 222mph (358kph) down the first
straight at Hockenheim.

I set the car up very stiff and geared 5th to do 204mph.  6th gear
was set very high and only engaged when slipstreaming.

I started 5th on the grid in a quick race and was able to keep
close enough to the leaders to make the most of the tow near the
end of the first straight.

The speedo briefly registered 222mph before I touched Michael
Schumachers wheel and was sent skywards.

I'm sure the car would have gone a bit faster as the rev-limitter
had not yet cut in!

Also, please send me your Top Speed replays, I want to know just
how fast these cars can go ;-)
