HI take a look on the bottom of the page...it says Good news indeed. We’ve become big fans of the R26.R and Renault is trying to etch its name further into the record books with another crack at the quickest front-wheel-drive lap time of the Nürburgring. While the car currently holds the record at 8m17s, the Focus RS is flexing its muscles in an attempt to snatch that claim away. Apparently the Mégane managed an 8m12s before official times were taken, though.
