Piloting the Apollo Sport was 26 year old Florian Gruber on August 13th and the time set stands at 7m 11.57s. According to Sport-Auto, the previous record was held by Michael Duchting with a 7m 14.89s on a Donkervoort D8 RS06 in November 2005. However, this claim is still yet to be cleared up as the Radical SR8 in road trim claimed top spot around the ‘Ring in 6m55s.
