On that note, anyone who plans on driving Koenigsegg’s top dog needs some practice, as the One:1 is cataclysmically fast.
Not only that, but the chosen driver must familiarize themselves with the One:1 before the official run. This means while they will be doing initial on-track testing with their extremely talented in-house test driver, the run itself will be executed by someone who knows the 150-odd corners like the lines on their hand. Not only does the team have to attempt the run on private days when the track is empty, but Koenigsegg will look for a driver who is “intimately” familiar with the track. As company founder and owner Christian von Koenigsegg explains, it takes a lot more than just showing up with a car to set a world record. While the mighty Koenigsegg One:1 will can be spotted on-track this year, it might not be in the capacity ‘Ring watchers might expect. There is a catch to its return to the ‘Ring, however. Now, following the removal of the speed limits, Koenigsegg announced a pledge to return to the ‘Ring to attempt a world-record lap time.
For others, including supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg, the speed limits were a massive let-down, one which led Koenigsegg to publicly speak out against the restrictions.
For some, these speed limits meant nothing, as most drivers on the course lacked either the car or the skill needed to hit those speed limits.

We've been enjoying the beta version for a few months now, and we'll come back with another review of the full game later this month. The game features six real tracks (Brands Hatch, Interlagos, Bathurst, the Nürburgring, Suzuka and Willow Springs) and 11 other locations with 40 layouts. The track list is also a little smaller than expected. "Sport" is all about racing, hence the focus on fully prepped vehicles. Those GT-equivalent classes include a bunch of cars that don't actually have GT variants, like the Mazda 6 and Jaguar F-Type.
The game does include rally cars - Group B - and the Gran Turismo concepts fall under Group X. The full car list is only 162 cars deep, a far cry from almost 1,200 in "GT6." The Group 4 cars are equivalent to GT4, the Group 3 cars are like GT3 and so on. Last week, the company posted a video explaining the race classes, which range from street cars (Group N) to full-out endurance race cars in Group 1, which are prototypes. The seventh iteration of ' Gran Turismo Sport' drops Oct.
