I just looked at my 2006 times....1:59. Even the GT-1 cars were only turning 1:51 race laps. Is the new configuration that much faster or is it just great driving. ;-)

Dave, it's all physics. As the Earth is ever so slowly being drawn closer to the sun, we're spinning faster, which in turn is speeding up time, which makes lap times in 2009 faster than the equivalent lap times from 2006.
It also means we're getting older faster. :nonono:
