That being said the 10min laptime was only timing from the bridge at the straight’s end to the gantry at the straight’s start, so the time would have perhaps 30sec+ added on if they timed a full lap which includes that run down the final straight. Still tho under 11minutes of a full lap in a stock (albeit weight reduced and drafting assisted) transit lol

"keep going, it's not completely on fire yet..." Best quote ever.
When Wolverine decides to go fast, he wants to do it in a van.
I would like to see 2 things combined from Top Gear and let lose on the 'Ring: Sabine Schmidt and the Transit they used with a Jag 220 engine mounted in the middle. Perhaps Guy should also have another attempt but with brakes balanced and turbo oil lines fixed first. I feel sure he could squeeze a decent improvement on his time too.

Great job!!!! And the most entertainment video! In a Van 😆! That was fun to watch!
I got 110mph out of a Mercedes Sprinter with 6 motorbikes in the back and my chubby mate Chris in the passenger seat. Now that’s impressive.
Proper Job!
What a bloke. What a Hero !

Where can I find the full episode? Met Guy and the crew on a track day a few days prior to their record attempt and they took in car footage from me and many others driving round the ‘Ring, now wonder whether that ever made it into the TV format ...
Keep going, never give up! 2 or 4 wheels. Drive it like you stole it!
I've hit 145mph in my Transit build. About to get the twin turbos upgraded to Garrett Powermax. Would not be difficult here in the US to have a built long block and bigger turbos on the 3.5 Ecoboost and give Guy's US records a run.
Why no mention of Sabine the Queen in both the videos ?
He reminds me The Smile man shortfilm with Willem Dafoe=) What a pity, really, but the dream is still alive. Good luck!
8:16 Famous last words.
Funny thing ...Sabine Schmitz did a 10:08 lap in a STOCK Transit with street tires and a factory 136hp engine. Guy only beat her time by a measly 35 secs with his highly modified version! LOL Also noteworthy : She did her lap in normal track day traffic as well.
Lol your the man..👍💚✌
you should've gotten semi slicks on the back and nittos n01 in the back and nt850 on the front faster exits and entries but an amazing job you did there
Thank god for the subtitles otherwise can't understand a word hes saying
He be amazing on TOP GEAR
good ol' incomprehensible Guy, biggest balls out there ;D
Smoke coming out the back then stops the van next to the petrol pumps :P
OMG! Those boots look like my boots! lol
Dale in that van: 9 minutes?
I remember my mates dad had an old tranny when I was a kid, he used to take it to track days and everything, always working on it. Years later when I knew a bit more about engines I asked about it and he'd gone and put an Austin Martin DB9 engine in it, he bought the car as a write off and salvaged the engine. I remember it sounding too notch 👌, and it went like shit off a stick too
Bloody el !
Great vid but I'd like to hear the van too.
Now try it an a stock diesel transit van..
Even if he didnt get the Record for the fastest Van, Atleast for the fastest Van on fire.
Braking the record and driving a burning car into a gas station...that's Guy ! 🤩👍💪
Please show that Ford build a little bit more, would love to know see some stats adn details!
Well Nice i would like to se a drag race with top gear Ford transit
Not havin MY van boy xD
Vans are the most diversified vehicle on the planet. Especially Ford vans I have seen hundreds of different modified Van's for specific jobs.
I'd like to see Guy try to take the bike record!
@9:00... how much extra rear track does that thing have...
is that a full tubular chassis?
I wish ups had these vans, that way I would actually have my package in time.
Park the van on fire 🔥 Right next to the fuel Bowser's!🔥💥🤣🤣🤣
It's not completely on fire keep going.
