Rubens Barichello, the fastest in Portugal? - GP2 Bug...

I don't know if I am the first to encounter this problem but it looks
like a bug to me...  Yesterday I was playing with a friend and at the
end of a (pitiful) race in Portugal we wanted to see the records...
But we then saw that the qualifying record was held by Rubens
Barichello at over 2 minutes!!!  The qualif times are around 1:40 or
less (sorry I don't remember exactly) so this is a bit strange...  Am
I the only one who encountered this problem?  Or are the records only
the times recorded for the 1994 season???  BTW GP2 runs smooth in SVGA
on a p100 with textures on track and curbs, only smoke in mirrors,
about 15 fps (I know some poeple don't consider 15 fps as "smooth" but
I think it's quite playable).

Rubens Barrichello was on pole in the 1994 Belgium race, not Portugal.  
His time of 2:21 or so was due to a very wet qualifying session, I
believe.  Also, Eau Rouge had a chicane that year.
