It's the 400k mile+, 50bhp Citroen AX 1,4 diesel that did a 9:55 BTG. Drivers sheer persistence alone makes his AX a pure bred racecar at this point. That is if 7 years of attempts and hundreds of miles clocked over 120+ laps of trial and error haven't made it one first. What a pair of absolute gigachads.
